Golden Hills Golf Club
About
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.

Bad experience
Had 2 women cut in front of me at the turn, claiming they got passed by the twosome that was in front of me on the front 9.Yhey were horrible golfers had zero golf edicate.slow paced watched them get out of the cart and walk across the fairway looking lost couldn't keep track of the balls they hit 100yarfs down the side of the desert.18 the hole one of their stupid teenage kid decided he would give her lessons on how to hit out of the bunker,then chipping lessons and then putting lessons all while we were on the fairway waiting for these clowns to leave.Some people's kids.I hope the 2 women read this.
Golden Hills
The people were great. The course does need some work. Some of the greens need work. Some of the fairways need work also. The course has a great layout. Will continue to play.
Back 9 Closed
It was a fantastic day for golf, however everyone knew that and showed up today. The back 9 was closed so everyone was playing the front 9 twice. I may have spent as much time waiting at the tee boxes as I did playing today. Greens were also sandy. You simply can’t beat this price right now but there is a reason for that.
Good layout,friendly staff
Played this course, was ok nothing special about it. Greens were good with minor imperfections just as many other courses, faiways were decent for time of year but tee boxes need some work. Bunkers had plenty of sand. What I noticed is lack of product or ammenities, pro shop looked old and outdated same as carts,restaurant wasnt open during our round. The staff was really friendly from check in to cart girl no complaints there. Will recommend to anyone price was decent and course layout was good.
Awesome Value
When you can play 18 holes for about $20 it’s hard to beat. Loved the conditions of the course after some light rain the night before.
Not worth it - even for the discounted summer rates
I’ve played this course previously and never remember it being this bad. There was so much dirt & bare spots that 90% of the time we were hitting from something other than grass (even in the fairways).
The range is limited to 250 yd shots and not well marked.
The putting green is a long grouping of holes… not bad, just different.
The hot dogs were delicious for $5 each!
The cart guys….. forget about it! We pulled up to get our cart, opened the provided cooler and there was no ice. Even after saying something, the kid just sat on his phone so I walked over and scooped my own ice into the cooler. I then asked for another cooler for extra gatorades…. He said no (they were not busy and it was 110° outside). The water cooler on the range was just for decoration because it was dry!
Good layout, horrible condition, could be a fun course but I won’t be back for a while….. even though I got the round for under $25ea
