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.

Really bad

Genuinely one of the worst kept golf courses I’ve ever played. I played a few years ago and it wasn’t nearly this bad. Genuinely not worth playing. Heck if you paid me $20 I wouldn’t play it again. It’s a waste of your time and energy to try and play golf there.

Funny huge hole cup

Played for $25. Had an amazing experience on the first hole green. The hole cup was tripled. I don't know why. I had fun playing it.

That time of year

First time in six months I didn’t have mud on the ball. That’s because we are entering the dry hard brown part of the season. Prepare for runout. And yet the greens are still good. Twilight rate is a bargain even dry and brown.

Good price from Golf Now for todays round.

I paid $40 on a hot deal. This was fair. This course still needs some cleaning up. Lots of dead grass areas and dirt. Traps were rock hard. Its a good layout, but needs some TLC. Greens were OK

I know its the desert but dang

Way to much dirt. Tree stumps as obstacles.

Just not what I was looking for. Greens were extremely hard and bouncy.

course not in great shape

I thought that since they recently changed the name to this course, the conditions would be better. However, there were lots of wet spots from the sprinklers, and hardly any fairway grass to be found . Played off of dirt half the time (and not because I am an ok golfer)

Getting there

I played Saturday afternoon as a twosome. Course is still in need of some TLC. Found myself in dirt patches off the fairway and in the fairway. It's playable if you improve your lies to the grass. Greens were average.

Danger!! Bring your own water!! No cart service after 10:30AM!!

It was 97 degrees and there was no beverage cart service at all from our tee time at 10:45 to the end at 3PM!! This is dangerous!! Dehydration is a serious concern here in the desert!! They told us the cart lady takes off at noon because" there are no golfers in the afternoon". We never saw her at all!!We were stacked up all afternoon!! People were still going out after we got done! This is irresponsible!!
