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.

In need of some TLC

The fairways were in poor shape and hard like rock the greens were ok and the tee boxes need some work they are in rough shape. When we arrived back at the cart drop off it seems as if we were in the wrong spot. We did not know that there was an automobile road that runs onto the golf course NO SIGNS indicating this, a car went through fairly fast and splashed myself and our carts. Th employee that was cleaning the cart yelled at us saying we were in the wrong spot that we were on thee road. I got a little upset and raised my voice to him saying that there was no indication that this was a road, the only sign I could see is that the carts were not allowed in the parking lot. The course needs some work.

Golden Hills

I just flew in from Chicago and made my 2:30 tee time. I golfed alone for most of the day and played with a couple on ghe last few holes. I found the greens in great shape, especially in this 92 degree heat that apparently was early and in place for over a month. Fairways were fine as were tee areas. I had a very relaxing andpleasant afternoon. I think you will enjoy the course. Cartmen and staff were all friendly and helpful as was bar staff.

Favorable Experience

Very friendly and helpful staff. Pace of play was good. Greens, bunkers, and tee boxes were in decent shape. Fairways were thin in some areas. Rough areas could be cleaned up by removing tree debris. Beverage cart service was excellent.

Still not worth $25

Play the course on a Sunday and they had the audacity to charge almost $100 a player… the bathrooms, look like a crackhouse. There was nothing in the pro shop but overpriced cheap shirts…. Better off skipping this course.

Fool me once!

The course looked nothing like the pictures on the website, to pay $84 plus tax for a course in such horrible condition. I feel like I got robbed, the worst part is that I had friends visiting from out of town and I booked this course for us to play, I was so disappointed with the condition of the course that I felt like I had to keep apologizing during the whole round, I will not be playing this course ever again!

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.
