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

The course is a very good value, but you get what you pay for. The rough can be unplayable hard packed dirt in places. The fairways do have some rough spots but in general are in good shape. Greens are also in good shape. The best twighlight rate anywhere!

Very poor practice facility

People were nice, but only practice putting green was like putting on the fringe of the green, didn't help at all with actual greens.

Beautiful Day for Golf

Golf course staff was very professional and handled a small glitch. Course was in good condition, could use re-seeding in various areas. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Lack of empathy

I'm almost 64 years old. About halfway through the front nine, I pulled a muscle in my back. Painfully I finished the front nine but could not finish the 18 hole round. I asked the pro shop employee for a raincheck for the other nine holes but he stated he was not authorized to give one. Essentially it cost me approx $65 for nine holes. I don't think I will be returning to this course again. Fairly new to AZ. Maybe no course would have given a raincheck. Things happen even on a golf course and the establishment should do better at taking care of the customer.

Perhaps call the GM at the course and explain your situation. The person in the Pro Shop may just have been following orders.

100% improvement

This course has come a long ways since last year when we swore never to play there again! 100% better, still has room in the areas off the fairways, but fairways green and tees were great! Wii be back
