Lookout Mountain Golf Club at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort receives distinctions: Golf Digest placed it among the top 450 U.S. public courses, and it regularly features among Arizona's best 25 golf course. It doesn't hurt that the golf club regularly hosts eye-catching affairs like the Harmon Killebrew Invitational, the Royce Clayton Charity Classic and the Phoenix Suns Scramble. The golf course itself offers lush greens that entwine with the Sonora Desert's terrain, which the golf club says it carefully preserves, and features 18 holes of championship golf in tandem with magnificent scenery and plenty of challenges.

There's a fairly good chance that golfers will catch sight of a quail or coyote out on the Lookout Mountain Golf Club at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort, and management asks that layers give the critters the right of way. In order to ensure golfers' shots go straight and don't snag in a cactus or chuckwalla, the club offers both individual and group glf lessons. This is also a place to enroll in the Hilton Golf Academy.

That's before the round at the Lookout Mountain Golf Club, though: Afterward, mosey on back to the 19th hole, called the Pointe In Tyme, for the drinkables and eatables.

Underwhelming value

Considering the time of year, I was quite disappointed by the overall condition.

Driving range hitting tee is uneven, and was basically like hitting out of light rough.

Fairways again were not mown very low, so they were inconsistent lengths and patchy in areas.

Hidden Gem

Great golf course. Greens a bit slow running at an 8, lots of unfixed pitch marks which seems to be the standard for AZ courses. Guess green fee’ers don’t like to repair their marks.

Nice track at a good price

Enjoy the course layout at Lookout. The course has good elevation to challenge golfers at any level. The driving range and putting green are always in good condition and not over crowded. Staff keeps things going in-time. Cars are stocked with coolers and beverage service makes sure you are taken care of.

One of my favorite courses to play with friends at different skill levels.

Fun and Easy Going

Great course. Price is fair. Not overly challenging. Greg, owner, is a total stud and probably the sole reason I'd come back

Very slow pace but nice conditions

A bit confusing because the pro shop is in an entirely different location from 1st tee. Very slow pace party due to cart path only. Nice staff and poor beer selection.

Great course.

Fairways green. Flags were in tough placements. Greens in excellent condition. Staff 10 stars. Out of Gatorade, but they went to storage and got more. Pace of play was great, 3 hours 20 minutes. Have played course every time I come to Arizona.

Dormant and wet

The valley just received severe rainfall and flooding a couple days ago so wet/soft conditions are expected. The fairways looked dormant, but I fear they may have actually just been dead and the wet conditions were making it feel dormant instead. Greens and tee boxes were good. Bunkers were decent considering the circumstances. This is one day prior to oversees so there won’t be much effort. Staff was friendly.
