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.

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.

Fairways were in poor shape. Mostly dirt and very little grass.

Yikes
Green are nice. Rest of course is disappointing. Fairways horrendous

Poor course conditions for cost
The golf course was not taken care of. We went in April when it hasn’t gotten too hot yet for it to be understandable. The fairways were a rock hard with mostly dead grass. The only nice grass was around the greens. Even when you hit the Fairway you still felt like you were hitting an errant shot out of the rough. There are plenty of other courses, not too far for the same price that are better taken care of with much nicer Fairways and kept up well.
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and the condition of the golf course during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and are working diligently to improve our course conditions.
Rough shape
The course is in rough shape. A lot of dried out fairway and patches that are essentially just gravel now.

Fairway needs care it’s all dry grass but around the greens is good and putting is good. Your playing in dirt or dead grass in the fairways

Good practice
This is a good course to work the kinks out with wide fairways. Don’t care for the gas golf carts noisy and loud. However it is what it is and will play it again and again.
Thanks so much for the great review, u000002725709. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing TOP PICK

Fun time
Nice pace of play for mid day, a lot of singles we let pass as we were a threesome, fairways are being worked on so a lot of yellow grass, but the greens are in good shape.

Greens nice Fairways not so nice
The greens were very nice and smooth. The fairways were in of attention. Found out later that an irrigation pump had failed and had just been replaced, the grounds crew were trying to catch up.
The pace was good, no line ups at the tee boxes.

Nice layout
The coarse is drying out. Greens are good.
Played it 3 weeks ago fairways were in good shape. It has interesting holes. Will play again.

Horrible
Save your money. Course is a dead as can be, lost their water pumps, don’t bother. This makes two years in a row. I don’t care how cheap you get a tee time you will regret it.

Would not recommend. Fairways have little to no grass
Don’t waste your time. Desert sands not fair away was less expensive and much better condition.
We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
Terrible condition
The greens are in good condition, but that’s all that is good. The fairways are bare and the forward tees are in very poor shape. Pace of play was superior - we completed our round in 3 hours and 20 minutes.
