Golden Hills Golf Club
About

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.

Good way to enjoy the day.
y wife and I played with another gentleman and had a nice round without any distractions. Just wish the course conditions were better, It needs some more work to make it a nice place to play on a regular basis.
worst conditions ever
I have golfed this course dozens of time in the past and have never seen conditions this bad. Large parts of the fairway are yellow, other parts are sloppy messes from over-watering. Out of bounds areas are just dirt and dust. I would recommend this course only if they keep the prices down. Not worth over $70
Good greens, bad fairways
Greens, sand traps and grass around greens was great, but the fairways were very poor. Power carts were quite old and clubhouse needs an update. Pace of play was great. For the low green fee we paid we were happy and would go back.
Improving every year.
We've played here before and it was in worse shape. Stay in the fairway and you'll be just fine. It's a great layout and fun to play. The greens were in good condition. We play here at least once a year when we're down here. It gets a little better every time. Hope they continue with their improvements.
Layout and Condition Ruined All Fun.
The Lady that signed me is was very understanding and kind to me. That was the only good thing I experienced there. There are par 4's there of 440 yards! Several are over 400 yards from the white tees. Several fairways feature large areas of standing water and mud. Grass is weak, muddy, and hard to find. Arizona Golf Resort has always been bad, and it's actually better than I've seen it before. Still, I wouldn't play this course for free.
Dissapointment with the course conditions.
My wife and I went here to play because the green fees were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I just wish the course conditions would have been better, The layout is fairly challenging.. If they would improve course conditions it would be a place I would consider playing on a regular basis.
Poor conditions for the price
Course irrigation system is atrocious this course is definitely not worth the amount of money they are charging to play on it I would not recommend it to anybody at this time
Par for the course
What you see in the overhead Google view is what you get. Uneven Faiways wattered too mich. New owners need to step it up.
Course needs work
First time playing since overseeding, but the course used to be in better shape. Too many areas just dirt even in the fairway. Poor drainage so lots of mud. Played from red tees which had little grass. Pace of play was much better than usual but maybe less customers because of the course conditions. Staff is very friendly and helpful but course conditions should be a lot better considering the price.
Good shape
I have played this course for years and this is the best shape I have experienced. Pace of play was a little slow but Marshall was on the job and kept slow players moving.
Once was enough
There are worse places to play, but this course has nothing going for it. Cart paths down the middle of the fairways, over watered around the greens. Plays like a run down 'muni' in slightly better shape with too high of a price point.
