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 but needs work

The overseeding made for a long hot day but that's to be expected. But the bunkers were basically clay. No sand. Not what id expect for the price. And worse almost all the sprinkler heads and other markers had no yardage numbers. All broken off and not repaired. If riding it wouldn't be so bad but cart path only it was terrible.

Fun track

Really nice course. Great fun layout with some really pretty holes and views. Just got down be overseeing so greens were slow but will be great once cut down to normal length. Sand in traps was a little hard and packed down.

Should let folks know to get there a little early since you have to check in and get your cart a distance away from where you start playing.

LMGC looking good

The course was in generally good playing condition, from tee to green, and everything in between. The greens rolled well, but were quite slow. Sand traps actually had sand in them (compared to other courses in the area). Pace was a bit slow (a little over 4 hours for our foursome). Value with Hot Deals was good. Course is always challenging, particularly with an afternoon wind.
