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.

Best course we played out of 10

We absolutely loved Lookout mountain! Conditions were fantastic challenging layout that was beautiful to take in. We played 10 courses in 11 days and it was by far the standout !! One of the best price points ($125) for a course that feels like a $200+ track.

It didn’t hurt that I scored well - but highly recommend searching for deals

Even after the downpour, the course was in great shape

Rain started at 5 am and stopped at 11. The course drained really well. Boxes, fairways and greens were well maintained. There weren't many players so the course was a breeze.

I really enjoyed the day and would recommend for all skill levels

Started out bad with the pro shop

Arrived early for my rime. The pro shop gentleman whom I paid wanted to be anywhere but there. The giys at the starters was fantastic. The course is ok but pricey for the layout. Again get new staff in the pro shop as he set the tone for the whole day.

Incredible

Amazing course layout. Thinkers course. You have to be creative and find the landing spots. Fast greens, stay below the hole. Bring your phone many vista points. This will be in our rotation!
