Golden Hills Golf Club

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.

Course is okay for the money-- $45 or less. All greens are in good shape. Some fairways are a little sketchy in places. Expect to encounter hard dirt if you stray off the fairway. On the upside, the fairways are pretty wide. The staff are friendly and helpful. Fill up on water before you start the 10th. Drinking fountain water is not available until hole 17.

I’ve played this course a few times in the past year & it just feels that every time I play here there’s something to talk about with friends & not in a positive way. To start, they changed some of their holes (hole #1 went from a par 5 to a par 4 & tee boxes were about 150 yards in and hole #18 went from a par 5 to a 88 yard par 3). Not the end of the world, but definitely still sucked not being able to play the full course. The worst part of the round was their tournament they had scheduled for this day. Normally wouldn’t have any issue with this but they put THREE groups for the tournament in front of the 4 some in front of us on hole 7 & and essentially told us to wait for the groups to play. The organization is terrible. If you’re going to host a tournament, block off the tee times for that tournament or close the course from bookings so that you’re not just throwing in people on random holes to play. Honestly the only reason I’m not giving this a 1 star is because we still somehow managed to finish in 4.5 hours because the group in front of us gave up after 9 & because the staff. The staff is very kind but man they are disorganized as can be.

There was a junior women’s tournament and the tee time I had was ambitious considering the pace of the tournament players which the course should have anticipated. Caught them quickly on the back nine and that ended my round.

We started early. Pace of was excellent. Greens were very good. Lots of dry areas but this is the desert.

Coarse was fair value for the cost. The fairways and bunkers were poor. Greens are slow but ran true.

We booked this course because it was close to where we were staying. We had read good things about the resort trying to revive and thought we would give it a try. It was in great shape and we were paired with a wonderful couple. We look forward to seeing the changes next year when we return.

This cours has improved greatly over the last few years! It’s enjoyable to play with quite good conditioning and maintenance. I would play it again for sure!

There was some patches of rough ground.

The greens were perfect.

All the greens were in great condition and fast. Course could use more grass seeding etc but the layout is still one of the best in the area. Staff was friendly and we played 18 holes starting at 1:12 and finished at 4:55, so a good pace.

Fairways in good condition. Don't get off the Fairways or try to cut the corners.
