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.

Conditions

The fairways were spotty. The greens were ok. The rough was dirt. Perhaps I’m being nostalgic but at one time AGR was a go to. What happened?

Course a lot of work

Pro

The greens were payable

Staff was friendly

Cons

Fairways were not good, some Fairways you had move your ball 3 or 4' to get a little of bit grass, I'm talking in the middle.

Place of play was a little little slow 4:45.

I played this last year and 1 time in October. This was the worse I saw the course in.

Pros

Greens we ok

Staff is excellent

Place of play is over 4:30

Cons

The fairways is dead, there was time in the middle off the fairway we had to move 3 or 4' to get a little bit of grass.

There was standing water on some off fairways.

The sand trap there's no sand.

The course be in good shape this time of year.

I played 5 times last year it's wasn't a bad.

Good course for the price

Course is in decent shape for this time of year. Lots of dirt off fairways but not muddy. Soft sand in the bunkers. Easy to play.

Golden hills

They should have renamed this course goat path hills. There’s no excuse for the conditions at this course. Greens are ok but tees and fairways are just plain awful. Staff is friendly but can’t hide the truth that this place is a dumpster fire.

Nothing special

Course was okay but could have been in better shape. MAIN disappointment was the ball washers which had rancid water in them. Absolute turnoff as an indication of course maintenance.
