Lookout Mountain Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Must play
Great course and great condition. Challenging. Only thing is that bag staff didn’t take any covers off clubs when they were suppose to clean them.
Great course
Quick weekday round with no delays!! Course was in excellent shape
Overseed conditions, still amazing
Greens were rolling pure even after a recent overseed
First time
First time playing here. Course was in great condition but it was cart path only due to reseeding. Greens needed to be cut and rolled but I assume that had something to do with reseeding also. Beautiful layout and great views of hills. I would recommend this course to everyone.
On the pricey side
Pretty pricey, I say this because there is no GPS on the carts. Also this was cart path only. There should have been a discount for this inconvenience. This slows down the round at least 45 minutes, running back and forth to the cart. The course ranger told us there is empty hole ahead of us, pick it up your pace. However there was no one behind us for at least 2 holes. Then when we got to the eighteenth hole we were waiting on the group in front of us. The ranger needs to look at the entire picture before jumping on the golfers for no reason.
Nice views!
The course was in beautiful condition! It was cart path only for carts that made it tiring and slower. Other than that it was a nice course!
Scenic
The course was in great shape, and the scenery and views from holes 9 and 10 especially were beautiful. If you’re looking for a scenic desert course, this is the one for you!
Definitely play
First day the course was open after the overseeding and it wasn’t bad at all. Greens were a little furry, but the course is a fair layout and priced appropriately.
Definitely would recommend the course especially after a couple of weeks after this post. Staff was exceptional and friendly.
Great!
Excellent course, layout, staff, and facilities. I highly recommend to all!
The reason Why I Golf
At first I was worried by the way the practice are looked. But I assume the management is starting here first for its transition to winter grass. It also is in need of so refurbishment. Things dramatically changed as I teed up on #1. Lookout is a course for those who want great views, a challenging layout that has great hole diversity and an old valley country club course feel. No two holes are the same. It has amazing variety which forces you to be able to hit every club in your bag. Almost all the par 5's are reachable in two for the average to above average drive but have the risk reward that makes them a challenge. Each par 4 is unique with varying distances, blind landings and quirky doglegs that force you think how you will attack the hole. The par 3's range from 230 to 125 but don't expect the shortness to make it easier. The layout winds through beautiful desert canyons with amazing views of the Phoenix valley as well as some iconic residences sharing those views with you. So many photo opportunities and elevated tee boxes the make you wish for a bucket of range ball to unload.
It’s a fun day
The overall view of the course is a little rough but the course itself is pretty great. Fun place but be sure to use your course map. You need some good course management.
Nice course
This course , fairways and greens are in very good condition. The pace of good and the staff was very friendly; I would highly recommend.
