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.

Snow bird golfing
Overall, we enjoyed our round. The course is been around for a while. The greens and fareways were in good shape. Rough lacks grass. Pace of play was poor. Foursome in front of us were holding up the whole course. The marshal finally took action on the 10th hole and we finished at an acceptable pace. We were paired with 2 other golfers who we really enjoyed playing with. I would like to play this course again.
Nice course for your buck.
Nice course, greens fast and nice playing conditions.

Improved conditions
I played this course in past years and have never seen conditions as good as they are now.
Absolutely Atrocious
I have to say that I will never be back to this golf course! I have played all over Arizona and I would choose Kokopelli over this course. From over priced beers, rude staff members, horrible practice facilities, uneven tee boxes and illegal pin placements this has got to be the worst course I have played in Arizona. Tee boxes where almost unplayable and dirt patches litter this course. Greens were without question subpar and honestly the outdated clubhouse makes this place a nightmare for any avid golfer. I would give them zero stars if I could so golfers STAY AWAY!
5 hr round
Pace was little slow, greens were in great condition mostly.

Better than last time
Much better shape than when we played last time. Still some bare spots in the fairway but the greens are in good shape. Pace of play was great but we did start 30 minutes behind scheduled tee time because of an overlap they did with their leagues. Will go back though and play again.

Classic old course style.. good variety
Best shape I've ever seen the course in years. I'm not implying that it is Augusta or an expensive private club but just that it was very good value for the cost and I enjoyed it a lot.

Poo poo
Over watered tons of ball marks on the greens, incredibly slow play( we were a threesome and it took 4.5 hrs). Would give it one star but for friendliness of staff I’ll give it two. I paid $34 to play and wouldn’t pay more than $40. Only worse course I’ve played in AZ is kokopelli. Worth it to pay a little more and play western skies or dobson ranch
Weed smoke everywhere….
I live at this place and Saturday it was like a weed festival or something. I guess the course is hurting for public business and had to get these guys there since no other place would allow it. Total disgrace and no wonder why the course has all these bad reviews. I’m looking for a new place to live even though I know I’m in the ghetto already….
Hi, lomarivera. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Arizona Golf Resort. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
