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.

Course layout was good and greens were challenging with pin placement. Course was a little rough due to thatching and scalping as they were preparing to overseed. Some of the tee boxes were dirt due to the renovation process. I will definitely go back once the winter rye grass is established and tee boxes and greens are in better shape.

Beyond terrible

If a review is over 2 stars, AGR probably left it themselves or paid someone to leave the review. The maintenance crew cuts dead grass and blows dirt off of dirt just to say they are doing something. This course will destroy your clubs. Worst course in the valley by far.

This place is where dust storms are born.

Gone down hill

I have lived in the valley for 20+ yrs and this course USED to be a good option. Greens in terrible shape, no grass in several parts of fairways, practice range is a joke, range balls not cleaned and so worn they don't have any dimples. I went in the clubhouse to pay and saw 16 shirts for sale...and that's it! In the entire clubhouse, they had 16 shirts and NOTHING else for sale. I seriously thought they were going out of business. I will NEVER play this course again. Really too bad as I mentioned, it USED to be a nice place to play.

Where's the grass?

At the end of the round a staff member stated that the course apparently hadn't been watered in over a month due to a non-functioning water pump. What little grass was present was so short and dry it was like hitting off dirt. There was plenty of dirt as well, even in the fairway. The whole facility just looks tired. I would not play this course again, even when they get their water issue resolved.

Horrible Shape

Very disappointed as I paid $35 per players then checked in and found out AZ Golf Resort dropped their costs per player to $15 because of how poor the course was. I asked for a refund and they told me to call golf now to figure it out.

Not worth your tome

Course is beyond dormant. They should just close it during the summer if they are not going to water it and try to maintain it in playing conditions.

Downhill in a hurry

No starter.

30+ minutes behind tee time.

No Marshall.

Teed off on the back 9 and played unbothered in 1.75 hours, caught up to the chaos and played the front in 2.5 hours.

$8 Hotdog.

Barren Fairways, 80/20 dirt to grass, honestly feels like your playing on a small town ranch track, not the hidden gem it was 10 years ago.

Bunkers were either perfect, loose and groomed or they were pictures out a western movie.

Tee boxes look like they have not been watered the entire summer.

Bumpy, hard, and beat up greens; obviously they do not have control over golfers but each green on the front 9 seemed to have a divot from an actual shot on it.

Unless they do something NOW this course will be on the shut down to repair schedule because it will be too far gone to allow golfers to play and make revenue with the condition its in.

Honestly this is just becoming a normal sight out here on this side of town. Superstition, kokopelli, and now AGR make my DO NOT PLAY list.

Joke of a golf course

I don’t think they’ve watered the place since the spring. Personally I wouldn’t pay over $10 to play here unless you enjoy hitting off dirt in the middle of the fairway.

Great staff

Very friendly staff, went out the day after the recent storm and course was pretty open. We got this round for like $9.99 so you can’t beat the value, but course does need some work. They said they had some pumps go out for water and you can for sure tell. It’s a course where you just need to lift and place it in the nearest grass or you will be hitting out of dirt in middle of fairway.
