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.

Disappointed

Course is usually in better condition, not very busy either time out. I played it twice this week .

One annoyance was being charged 3 different prices for the same beverage

Golf course was in extremely poor condition

We stayed here a few years ago and when we came back to play it it was a big disappointment. The fairways were in extremely poor condition. You can't have a golf course without grass. $30 would have been too much to pay for 18 holes. Sorry to say we won't be back

And would never recommend this course to anyone else.

Not worth even a glance

So bad, as in nobody even bothered to take care of the course. Everything was brutal, from the greens, fairways, to the staff, other than the kid taking in the carts. It’s criminal to even charge more than $40 for a round here. Not worth it.

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!!!
