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.

A decent course for summer play

Greens are in good condition. A couple fairways were lacking grass in spots and some tee boxes needed work. Overall, not a big issue for summer play. Course is worth $25. or the golf now hot deal price. The carts were very clean & staff are super helpful.

Ben a couple of months since I've played here. Course is in much better condition that it was last year at this time. A real nice effort here to improve the conditions of the course. Some of the Tboxes are actually better now than this past winter. If they keep up with their maintenance, it will be really good this winter.

A long (yardage-wise) course - relaxed round, not rushed and allowed me to work on different parts of my game. The course is tired and in need of TLC

Not good at all

I went to check in and the guy started talking to his buddy (who didn’t come in til after me) and acted like I wasn’t there… Fairways (if that’s what you want to call them) were mostly dirt. I don’t think they’ve taken the tee box trash cans out for a while now as there was trash everywhere. The only saving grace this course had was the greens were in decent shape!

Decent course and challenge.

I’ve played this course before but not when it’s 110 degrees out! Lots of bare spots which can be common at many AZ courses this time of year. The greens were good. Good value for your money.

Ridiculous convenience fee

The convenience fee that Golf Now charges is extremely high and unnecessary. That convenience fee was unexpected.

Value at the price paid.

The course is currently in summer transition. It's in typical AZ golf courses during this time of the year, actually the Greens and bunkers are in great shape, some tee boxes are dry and there are plenty of dry spots in the fairways. But honestly for the price it's a nice place to play. They should not be charging anything over $30 to play at this time. Had a good time with my playing partners, one lived on course and the other worked there, they really made the day fun.

It's hard to maintain a course in Arizona in the summer but the staff makes sure the important areas are well taken care of. Also everyone, including the Beer Cart Lady, is extremely friendly and helpful.

Junk everywhere

First, I have NEVER seen pins placed in such poor locations (on the tops of ridges on the greens and within a foot or less of the fringe). It was nearly impossible to putt. Second, there was stuff everywhere! There was a kayak in the middle of a fairway, every green had bags of seed, jugs of fertilizer, and random cut up logs IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREENS. There were water jugs, tools, spreaders, blowers, etc. It was just like the work day ended and everyone dropped what they had in their hands and drove off. One green even had one of those yellow plastic speed bumps on it. I have never seen anything like it and of course no one in the pro shop mentioned it before we started.

Fairways need work, bumpy greens

Under $30 is an great price for summer play. Starter was very friendly. Filled the cooler with ice. Nice wide open, forgiving course but they have irrigation issues. Many fairways are bare or burnt. Most tee boxes are pocked up. Random standing water in places.

It’s back

After some horrible conditions, the course is back and playable. A few wet spots in a few fairways, a few crusty fridges and a few burnt areas in the rough, BUT every course in the valley has them this time of year. Greens are smooth and rolling. Fairways are green allowing good drives to roil true. Have read about rough and bunkers being penalizing, they’re suppose to be. Downed trees have been cleared up. Happy to add it back into our summer rotation.

Only issue we had were individuals crossing the fairways and paths or “resting” in the restrooms with one golf club or rolling a shopping cart
