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.

Do SOMETHING!!!!

Please do SOMETHING!!!

the greens were in good shape but the rest of the course was garbage!!

I think they renamed it "golden hills" because all of the hills on the course were DIRT mounds and maybe could be considered "golden Hills".

No grass anywhere.

fairways were pure garbage.

i last played here in 2023 and it was garbage then. We came back with the hopes that they would have done something , anything to improve it but NOTHING!!!

it will be at least 2 years before we come back.

don't waste your money..

Not Senior Friendly

I'm 76 and handled it pretty well. But we were with our wives and the red tee's are definitely not friendly for our wives. Also there were many holes that were soaked and many with dirt mounds where there should have been grass. The greens were bumpy and a few putts were redirtrected ( not a misspell ) causing a missed stroke. The value was good but the course conditions nullified the price.

WORST COURSE EVER

This course would have to be $20 for a round for it to be a remotely good deal. Way over priced for the terrible condition of the fairways, greens, and bunkers.

Started early in the morning, only a few groups in front of us. Played through 18 in 3.5 hours. Pace of play was great. Course was in good shape, greens were consistent, some spots on the fairways but not bad at all. Would definitely play again.

Great track overall however you get what you pay for. Some fairways have entire dead zones and so do some greens. Highly recommend if you just got off the plane and need to warm up.
