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.

Setting and layout fantastic

Our foursome ranged in ability from beginner to golfers. We all enjoyed ourselves. Perfect weather in high 70’s. Twilight golf worked perfectly for us. Great value on a “hot deal”. Sun set just before 6 but still good value even if we didn’t finish.

The track was in good condition, but it was too "hilly" for my tastes. Greens were great.

I will play again

I play a lot of different courses every year. The prices I pay vary from $40 to $600, but the thing they all have in common is I believe they will be in good playing condition.

The greens were in good shape, and the fairways were in great shape. The tee boxes were mediocre. The layout is very nice.

The staff were excellent.  It is a good value by Phoenix Resort course standards.

I practice there for $25 a day. They have us hitting on artificial turf right now. There is a nice chipping area and a large putting green.

I enjoyed playing Lookout Mountain, and I will go back and play it again.

Perfection!

Flew into Phoenix for 1 day of golf (get away from the winter in SLC) and played one of our go to coursed in Phoenix, Look Out Mountain. This course is always in great shape, has challenging holes and layout and is just a fun to play. Everyone on staff are always welcoming and helpful, carts are clean, golf shop has a nice selection of golf accessories.

A new favourite!

Played it twice in past year and Love this course ! Front builds your confidence and back challenges you big time.

Had a beautiful day and great pace of play and scored well which always helps your opinion.

If I had any criticism it would be the uneven tee boxes. I hate mounds on a tee box - how hard can that be to address ?! Otherwise top notch especially if you get a hot deal.
