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.

Going down hill fast
I have played this course many a times over the past 5 years. I continue to hope that it will improve but over the last couple of years it continues to decline. The course is now just going downhill and conditions are pretty much unplayable I would not even play this course for free again
N/a
Liked most of my experience but must state I was Bothered by all the Warning signs about Parking and warnings of possibility of Car being Towed. Not sure what issue is but may not return? Best regards
Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience the parking signs caused and are reviewing our policies to enhance our guest experience.
Worse course in AZ
It was almost impossible to find grass on the fairway. It was like playing in a asphalt parking lot. Then you walk into the clubhouse and no air conditioner (REALLY IN ARIZONA). We should get a total refund but that won’t happen so I will never play there again
Arizona golf resort
The green's were in very good shape. Golfers should know to repair their ball marks( there were numerous on each green ). Only 2 of the 18 holes tee boxes were in good condition.
The fairways were really poor. More bare hard dirt than grass. I hope this is fixed before long.
The bunkers looked to be in great condition.
It would have been nice to know the greens were aerated prior to booking and playing. All that being said, A day at the golf course can't be bad.
Thank you for your feedback and noting the condition of our greens and bunkers. We apologize for the state of the fairways and tee boxes, and for not communicating about the aeration in advance; your comments will help us improve.
Horrible course
The course has really gone downhill. I would not recommend this course probably the worst course in Arizona right now.
We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We hope to see you again.
Horrible
The course is in horrible condition. Hardly any grass and several fairways were flooded
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience; rest assured, we are working on improving the conditions of our course immediately. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Course needs some help
Course was aerated recently. Many fairways had areas of little to no grass. Greens were nice. Played here many times but have never seen the course in this condition at this time of the year. Areas where there was grass looked fine.

Out of touch, Absentee Owner
The course is currently almost unplayable. 4 of 5 pumps that move water are currently broken with no eta on repair. Apparently the owner, a doctor from California doesn’t want to spend the money. Local staff has to deal with that stupid decision.

Don’t waste your time
Grass was very dry. Drink cart showed up on hole 1 and never came back in 4 1/2 hours. No water or drink made is very uncomfortable. Would never go back based on this
We apologize for the condition of the grass and the lack of refreshment service during your visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we'll work to improve these aspects. We hope you give us another try in the future.
Tees
Some of the tees need improvement.. Don’t turn sprinklers on when guests are standing close by.

This course is meh.
Fairways are terrible tons of dead grass and dirt. Only played 9 out the 18 and decided to leave. Won’t be returning

Good value for summer golf
Staff was very friendly, played mid day on a Wednesday so not to many people. Typical summer conditions for Az some burnt areas in the fairways but all of the greens were in good shape and most of the tee boxes

Course in bad shape but staff is friendly
Staff greeted me right from the parking lot. Course is in really rough shape. Pace of play was extremely slow. Would not recommend.
