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.

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.

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.

Needs to be better

We teed off late due to having to wait for other players to finish golfing to be able to get a cart. The pace of play was insanely slow. We teed off by 2:15 and after ten holes quit because it was so slow and we had no chance to get 18 holes in. The course itself is in marginal condition. The staff was great however. Good people there.

Slow pace of play

Course is ok for the money, but the pace of play was terrible. We quit after 15 holes because we couldn’t take it anymore

Not so good

They need to take better care of course- first off cut and trim weeds, they were horrible. It looks like they have no course superintendent- did not see they were even trying to clean up course. Greens were not half bad. First time playing here since 2019 and nothing has improved. Not excited to play here again. $78.50 per person was not cost effective for this golf course and I don’t mind paying for a good golf course. Good luck and hope you fix the course up. Lots of competition in AZ area.
