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.

Poor conditions

Layout was challenging with long par 3’s and 4’s. However the conditions on the course was as bad as I have ever played. Fairways were mostly dirt. Greens on the front were very bad as well. Back nine greens were better and some of the fairways were not all dirt. Not worth what we paid.

I played this course 25 years ago and it was great. Now, it’s not fit to be a dog park. Very disappointed.

New Name, thought it changed for the better!

Thought with the new name the course would be in better shape, with the Ad saying plush Fairways and plush Greens?

It was the same as it was under Arizona Golf Resort, Poor!!!

Greens great, course so-so

I got an ok price and wanted to try this course again.

Friendly staff, range was sparse, fairways were not very green but were not bad to hit off of.,

Lots of bare dirt around the course, bunkers were well tended, grass around greens pretty good and greens themselves were great - the best part of the course - they were green and pretty fast.

This course is in rough shape

We played this course on a cool day after some rain. Pace of play was great as we didn’t see anyone in front of us until the 17th hole and finished in under 3 hours. Some areas of the course were in rough shape. Some fairways were muddy - to be fair this could have been worse for us because of the rain. Most of the greens were okay.

Hole in one

My husband got a hole in one on hole #14 we were unable to finish round due to frost delay and slow play which was unfortunate. Good value for the money. Greens were nice
