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.

Everything was well kept but the boxes. But really could have been worse in the middle of summer. One of my favorite courses

It’s a great design and reasonably priced

I would say no GPS in the carts is a big drawback as was playing this round where the course was totally stacked up at 1 pm this time of year

Great day at the golf course

Golf course is in the great shape. I enjoyed my round golfing with 3 local guys , we had lots of laughs and spent less then 4 hours playing it. The pace was very good. I would strongly recommend to play this golf course . I went back several days later.

People always complaining

Honestly some of you are insufferable. Stop being so dang critical for 44 dollars this course was absolutely gorgeous. The sand was a little stamped but other than that no issues was fun and a challenge. This course could charge more and I know their prices have gone down but all around great experience. Remember people a day golfing is better than a day not.

I don't like their policy to force two strangers to ride in the same cart. COVID is not over.

Always fun

We play here often. Like many Valley courses in 2022, lack of rain has caused very dry conditions, yet the greens fees remain very high for summer golf conditions. Course needs some TLC. Carts are getting old and ragged. Bunkers are like concrete. Avoid the restaurant after your round. Food is decent, but service is lacking. The clubhouse and on course crew are always friendly.

Great course

We really enjoyed the course last week , so much we played it twice. The only down side was Mother’s Day no cart and the 1/2 way snack shop was closed which we didn’t find out before we were into our round and too late to load up on snacks and water But will return every year when we get down to Phoenix

Just okay

Rated as a top 10 course in the PHX area. More expensive than other more beautiful and fun courses. Not sure I would recommend or return.

Tough course. Course management is the key.

Course was tough, but fair. Looking at course layout tells you where to hit to. Without that, you could land in trouble. Pro shop guy not the friendlest, but everyone else extremely courteous.
