Golden Hills Golf Club
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.

Price is right
Maybe not the best course I have play but for the price it's best bang for your money.Will play it again.
Favorable Experience
Very friendly and helpful staff. Pace of play was good. Greens, bunkers, and tee boxes were in decent shape. Fairways were thin in some areas. Rough areas could be cleaned up by removing tree debris. Beverage cart service was excellent.
Grass in good shape around greens.
Fairways and rough in bad shape
Nice variety of holes
Personable staff
Still not worth $25
Play the course on a Sunday and they had the audacity to charge almost $100 a player… the bathrooms, look like a crackhouse. There was nothing in the pro shop but overpriced cheap shirts…. Better off skipping this course.
Fool me once!
The course looked nothing like the pictures on the website, to pay $84 plus tax for a course in such horrible condition. I feel like I got robbed, the worst part is that I had friends visiting from out of town and I booked this course for us to play, I was so disappointed with the condition of the course that I felt like I had to keep apologizing during the whole round, I will not be playing this course ever again!
Decent for the price
Nice layout but the pace of play was a little slow. Good value
Stick with it
Front 9 pretty dry, but back 9 nice and green. All greens in good shape. Pace of play slow but it’s because you get a good buy. I don’t mind waiting on holes if I get a decent price.
Nice course!
Greens were in great shape. Not very forgiving outside of the fareway.
Another round at Golden Hills
The golf course was in a similar condition as during my last round in it few months ago at a reasonable price. Staff was friendlier this time.
I’ll like play this GC again in the future.
OK Course
The fairways, greens and areas around greens were in excellent shape.
Just lots and lots of bare dirt hills on the course (in areas of play)
Good and Enjoyable First Play
It was our first round of 18 for both of us. We were very pleased with our experience from the time we approached the Pro Shop to leaving. The course and it's condition were very good overall. There were some dirt patches here and there but not bad and mostly out of play.
We had a very enjoyable round of golf and beautiful weather! We recommend Golden Hills Golf Club.
