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.

Worth it every time

A Phoenix favorite. I’ve played Lookout multiple times and will keep coming back. Staff is excellent. Course design is fun for golfers of all skill sets and condition is superb. Scenic Mountain View’s and fun elevated tee boxes make this course a should not miss.

Beautiful course, tough greens

Course is very scenic and has some dramatic elevation. Greens almost impossible to read 1st time playing, but that's golf.

Lovely course and welcoming staff. Slow pace

The course is pretty short and relatively easy. Conditions are excellent and staff was very helpful and friendly. Pace was an issue as we waited almost every shot starting at 9.

Nice loop

Staff is great at greeting you and getting you set up on a cart. Course is few blocks away. Nice, casual practice area and range. The course was in great shape. Greens were brutally tough. Lots of undulations and humps. Cups were all cut on the tops of knolls or side hills. Additionally greens were fast AF. Putts had to be rolled in on pace to hold the line, meaning lots of 3-6’ come back putts if you miss. Tough scoring track unless the putter gets hot, but all in all it’s a nice loop.

No Sand Troon

Nice golf course.Nice layout. Real challenge.Great views from 9-10th holes. Forced carries were challenging.

Here's my beef-no sand in the traps. Rather difficult to hit a bounce club off blacktop. Disappointed in Troon and what I paid to play. Expected better conditions. Spend some money...
