Golden Hills Golf Club
About

It is has a traditional layout that features large, subtly sloped greens that are guarded by bunkers. Stately cottonwood and eucalyptus trees line the generous fairways. Lakes form water hazards that come into play on five holes and there is also native rough throughout the course. With four sets of tee boxes, the course offers a suitable challenge for players of all skill levels. In addition to the course and the school, the Golden Hills Golf Club has a putting green and chipping area as well.

hot weather
it was a really hot day but he course was in good shape..greens rolled good...loats of ice for cooler...was happy with everything
Worst course in Arizona
This is easily the worst course in Arizona for the price point and conditions. Showed up an hour early so that I could warm up and then the starter person that checked me in and won the locals playing in the same team time as me forced me to move up early, so I did not get to use the bucket that I paid for so basically I wasted money and then was completely cold coming out of the car and started playing probably the worst condition golf course I’ve ever seen in my . This course would only be worth it if it was about $25 with a cart and you just treated it as if you were going to the range but instead went play an 18 hole golf followers.
Return to Golden Hills
Overall the course is not in great shape, except for the greens which I would say are consistent and challenging. The fairways are decent but there are a lot of dead areas. Overall value for this time of year is still great, the outside service and beverage cart teams were outstanding.
Slow play!
A lot of dirt and rough grass other than fairway. Play was slow. Almost 5 hours.
In need of some TLC
The fairways were in poor shape and hard like rock the greens were ok and the tee boxes need some work they are in rough shape. When we arrived back at the cart drop off it seems as if we were in the wrong spot. We did not know that there was an automobile road that runs onto the golf course NO SIGNS indicating this, a car went through fairly fast and splashed myself and our carts. Th employee that was cleaning the cart yelled at us saying we were in the wrong spot that we were on thee road. I got a little upset and raised my voice to him saying that there was no indication that this was a road, the only sign I could see is that the carts were not allowed in the parking lot. The course needs some work.
Golden Hills
I just flew in from Chicago and made my 2:30 tee time. I golfed alone for most of the day and played with a couple on ghe last few holes. I found the greens in great shape, especially in this 92 degree heat that apparently was early and in place for over a month. Fairways were fine as were tee areas. I had a very relaxing andpleasant afternoon. I think you will enjoy the course. Cartmen and staff were all friendly and helpful as was bar staff.
Price is right
Maybe not the best course I have play but for the price it's best bang for your money.Will play it again.
Favorable Experience
Very friendly and helpful staff. Pace of play was good. Greens, bunkers, and tee boxes were in decent shape. Fairways were thin in some areas. Rough areas could be cleaned up by removing tree debris. Beverage cart service was excellent.
Grass in good shape around greens.
Fairways and rough in bad shape
Nice variety of holes
Personable staff
Still not worth $25
Play the course on a Sunday and they had the audacity to charge almost $100 a player… the bathrooms, look like a crackhouse. There was nothing in the pro shop but overpriced cheap shirts…. Better off skipping this course.
Fool me once!
The course looked nothing like the pictures on the website, to pay $84 plus tax for a course in such horrible condition. I feel like I got robbed, the worst part is that I had friends visiting from out of town and I booked this course for us to play, I was so disappointed with the condition of the course that I felt like I had to keep apologizing during the whole round, I will not be playing this course ever again!
Decent for the price
Nice layout but the pace of play was a little slow. Good value
Stick with it
Front 9 pretty dry, but back 9 nice and green. All greens in good shape. Pace of play slow but it’s because you get a good buy. I don’t mind waiting on holes if I get a decent price.
Nice course!
Greens were in great shape. Not very forgiving outside of the fareway.
