Golden Hills Golf Club (formerly known as Arizona Golf Resort) is home to a golf school and a challenging 18-hole course. The golf course is known for its difficult and scenic par-3 holes. 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.

Great Time Playing This Course

Our group of 3 had fun playing this course. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit out and hardly anyone was on the course. We played the course in under 3.5 hours. The course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly. Have played the course before and will definitely play it again.

Absolutely 0 improvement

Come on you guys changed owners and changed nothing! Its a dirt track and broken sprinklers in the only Fairways with grass? 0 sand in bunkers and the rough is complete dirt. Granite we got a hot deal, but shame on the owners for saying this is a good course. 30 bucks more and you can play a gem in Tucson. Take your pick Quarry Pines, Preserve at Saddlebrook, or MountainView. Save your money and take the drive! Some courses just have no respect for the game and no desire to put some money into their course. Plus 5 hr rounds and never once seen a cart girl period! Not that I wud of bought a 10 dollar beer. Anyways didn't shoot horrible but won't be back.

Not even close to the pictures

Course was not maintained, pace of golf was extremely slow. Had 2 -3 groups stacked from the start. Condition of the course was horrible. More dirt than green grass.

Great Day Outing

We enjoyed a great day at the course, hooked up with a couple of single players. Both very good players, great guys, good conversations.

Course staff are always excellent. We enjoy the layout.

New name, same below-average course

No beverage cart, no indication the range was closed, unfriendly staff, forced to sign a waiver to drive the cart (do any courses do that anymore?) muddy.. all for the reasonable price of ~$70. Wouldn't recommend this course. It's in need of a full makeover - if you change your course name, change some other stuff that matters as well.

Not in good shape.

Driving range was closed due to a concert the night before on the range. And the first hole tee box (par5) was pulled forward to 300 yards. That was not a good start to the first time playing here. Fairways were a mess. Rough was all dirt and greens were just ok (slow and bumpy when I played with lots of unfixed ball marks). Attention to detail was just not there. No sand/seed mixture in the bottles, unattended tee box areas and an overall junky look to the course. In good conditions with some tender loving care this course could be very nice. Layout was ok and for the most part playable. The price offered on GolfNow lead me to expect less than average conditions. Guess I got What I paid for. I do Not like leaving bad reviews but hopefully management takes notice and makes a necessary investment in improving conditions.

Greens are great!

Course is improving everyday! You can certainly tell they are moving in the right direction. Price is always one of the cheapest in the Valley. Give it a shot.
