About
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.

Course in very poor shape
Course seems to be completely neglected. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Maintenance issues throughout course.
On 1/25/25 fairway conditions poor- no recent rain but ball lands in mud everywhere.
Greens were better but still below average condition.
Previously rated this facility as average but now below average.
On line it said plush fairways and plush greens?
I don't know your definition of plush, but it certainly didn't live up to our standards!
We believed with the name change hopefully the course would have improvements, we were wrong!
Not a good choice
In the past I’ve played this course many times. I’ve not played it in 2 years. Had friends visiting from home and wanted to golf so I recommended this course. Course is older but always in decent condition. What a shock and embarrassment to be hit with the conditions of this course. Imagine playing golf in the Sahara desert with assorted mud bogs. Very little green anywhere unless you are counting the weeds. Even the greens were not in good condition. Front nine is the worst with some improvement on the back. Very poor value for the price we paid. Definitely WON’T be going back unless we hear of MASSIVE improvements
Good location
Good location but the course is a bit rough. Some of the greens are thin as are the fairways and at times you may want to bump your ball onto a green patch. Pro-shop staff are friendly. The restaurant food is very good as are the friendly staff. We enjoyed the day!
A good day
A good course layout. Scenic. We had a late start so we were concerned with being able to complete the round before sunset. The pace of play is great and we finished easily. The staff were really friendly and the amenities were very good.
Needs work
Course is drying out!!
Fairways have a lot of dry areas that your basically hitting off of the dirt
Vertily no grass
Without watering anything but the greens the course has very little grass , almost like playing in the desert
Course needs a lot work.cant find any grass at all
Surprise to see this place is still open.
Never play this course again
Goat path dirt farm
This course could be great but…..
The turf conditions here from tee to green are atrocious.
Puddles in fairways next to burnt out “grass” or plain old dirt.
The layout is fun but the greens are bumpy, bare in spots and its just not fun to play here.
On top of the horrible condition of the course the ranger/marshal crew they have working here are a bunch of crabby rude old farts who ihave zero people skills.
Barking orders, scowling at you if you bother them, not very welcoming at all.
Spend your money and time elsewhere
This place needs to fix all the above issues before I play here again
Fairways are in terrible condition. ground is wet but the grass if dead in many places. Greens were fair.
