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.

Fun round
Lookout Mountain is a fun course and a good challenge. The layout, other than a stupid hole 9, is interesting. There are good carries, well placed hazards and good - fast greens.
Not amazing but a good challenging course.
Amazing Course, VERY Tough Greens Though.......
You will love this course, but it is tough to putt here. The greens are all heavily sloped and the ball will roll all the way down. Good luck out there!
Fastest Greens I've played in years.
Great views. Course had incredible elevated tee shots. Difficult greens. Make sure you are below the hole as much as you can.
Very nice course - Great staff
My wife (15) and I(13) enjoyed our round. Great shape Fast greens overall great time
Excellent Course!
Tee to green this course is only slightly challenging, offering huge fairways (on most holes) and short second shots. That said, get on or around the greens and the course becomes a lovely headache. We were fortunate to play with a gentleman who plays the course a handful of times a week and he gave us reads that I thought were ridiculous. Well, they weren’t. Awesomely fast greens with huge yet subtle steep slopes. You have to take a GOOD look at the entire green if you wish to make putts. Second shots are almost always better left 30+ feet short of the pin rather than 15+ feet past the pin. NEVER miss long and over the green as you will be left with a chip that is nearly impossible to get within 3-5’.
Amazing views & great condition course!

Great value for the course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They invited us to come back and play once we were finished. Very important that they spoke to us after the round to find out if all went well and we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for the great day.

Stunning view as you go up and down the mountain.
This is now one of my top 5 places to play. Every hole had its own difficulty, its own mystery, and its own charming beauty. I was worried about the pace of play since the groups ahead were pretty slow. However, it gave me the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the course and the scenery of the hills and city. Would play this course again in an instant.

Overall a great course. The staff was extremely friendly with range balls and club cleaning included. Layout was fun with some great elevation holes. Pace of play was 4.5 hours, but got behind a few slower groups. Would definitely recommend!
