Good layout, mediocre conditions.
The course has a nice layout and the par 3s are really nice. The par 4s are good, too. The par 5s are easier and that is where you need to make your pars and birdies. The fairways are in rough shape and the greens are decent. If you get a really good price, it’s worth playing.

Terrible shape
A good track just left to weather beating. The fairways were rock hard with only sporadic grass on several holes and the greens were bumpy. It seemed like the entire course had only a passing relationship with upkeep and/or water despite all the rain we have had. Won't be returning.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Arizona Golf Resort!
Great Course
Arizona Golf resort has a lot going for it. The fairways are cut very nicely with lots of room to play. The sand bunkers are very well maintained and I congratulate the course maintainers for keeping the sand "playable". Speaking of course staff I found them all very friendly and helpful. The greens are very well maintained and are in great shape.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Arizona Golf Resort.
Hello, joegregoire. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Arizona Golf Resort.
What a shame!
This is a course that just needs bringing back, it wouldn’t need a lot! The layout is very good with some great holes. The greens were also very good, but the tees, fairways and surrounds are in need of attention. What is sad is it would not take a great effort to get it very good. The Clubhouse is magnificent, like going back in time Friendly staff, good happy hour. I played the course three times at the height of the season and the green fee was the best around. I will go back.

Slow pace
Teed off at 3 o’clock played 3 holes. Almost 1 hour. No Marshall in sight backed up everywhere. We quit after three holes. What a waste of $90. Don’t waste your time they’re playing late in afternoon. No supervision at all. Very disappointed.
