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.

OK Course

The fairways, greens and areas around greens were in excellent shape.

Just lots and lots of bare dirt hills on the course (in areas of play)

Good and Enjoyable First Play

It was our first round of 18 for both of us. We were very pleased with our experience from the time we approached the Pro Shop to leaving. The course and it's condition were very good overall. There were some dirt patches here and there but not bad and mostly out of play.

We had a very enjoyable round of golf and beautiful weather! We recommend Golden Hills Golf Club.

Needs to be better

We teed off late due to having to wait for other players to finish golfing to be able to get a cart. The pace of play was insanely slow. We teed off by 2:15 and after ten holes quit because it was so slow and we had no chance to get 18 holes in. The course itself is in marginal condition. The staff was great however. Good people there.

Slow pace of play

Course is ok for the money, but the pace of play was terrible. We quit after 15 holes because we couldn’t take it anymore

Not so good

They need to take better care of course- first off cut and trim weeds, they were horrible. It looks like they have no course superintendent- did not see they were even trying to clean up course. Greens were not half bad. First time playing here since 2019 and nothing has improved. Not excited to play here again. $78.50 per person was not cost effective for this golf course and I don’t mind paying for a good golf course. Good luck and hope you fix the course up. Lots of competition in AZ area.

Too loud for the price

$81 to have dirt roughs, landscapers at hole 1 tee box with there lawnmowers then mid game there was a dude spraying chemicals was by me when I was putting then he sat between the putting green and the next tee box and instead of shutting his tractor off he sat there on his phone like really dude how about you shut that thing off and turn it back on when we are done hitting then on hole 10 there was someone who had a tree cutting service cutting trees in there back yard and finally on hole 9 we had people hitting into us.....I love the greens here and the bunkers are challenging but $81 no way guys, train ur landscapers to be alittle more respectful

Excruciatingly slow and no marshall

Took 3hrs plus just to get through the first 9 holes. We had to skip 2 holes because 3 groups were slowing down the entire course. When we said something at the turn the employee just said “oh we’re sorry”. No one went out and told the groups to pick up pace or let us play through. Super frustrating round. It’s pretty good value for this time of year but that simply shouldn’t happen.

Nice Layout but needs work

While I always try to have an open mind with all courses, this one unfortunately needs a lot of TLC for me to rate it higher than 2 stars. Tee boxes were not great, greens were fair but minimal grass and fairways were hit or miss at best. Layout was okay but I would choose lots of other course in the AZ area before I'll spend my money here again without significant upgrades done on the course. Thank you.
