Lookout Mountain Golf Club
About
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.

Great course
This course is always in great condition and the staff is always friendly. You gotta play this course.
Great pro shop service
Although I really wanted to play today the course was certainly soaked and there was supposed to be lightning. So yesterday i called within the 48 hour cancellation window and the pro and Matthew were kind enough to cancel my tee time. This is one of the many reasons that I will continue to be a grateful customer to Lookout. Here’s to teeing it up next Saturday. Thanks guys
rawbender,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and 5 stars! We are always more than happy to assist our guests when weather or other circumstances arise. We look forward to seeing you again!
Mountain View
I just finished my round at Mountain View. The course is in great shape with beautiful vistas from every hole. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the golf shop was great.
maryanncoffas,
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the course, the views, our staff, and the Golf Shop! We look forward to seeing you again!
Mike
Challenging course. You have to think about club choice
mrosiewicz,
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club! We certainly appreciate the 5 star review and maybe you missed the "recommendation" button. We look forward to seeing you again!
Pace of Play Matters
It’s a resort… 5 hours to play. The course is worth it if the staff would remove the slow groups but they refuse. Your day will be ruined along with others because of one group if you play here. And the cart almost died calling it on 13 driving in….
Summer Golf
A good day to golf in the desert. Elevation changes keeps you on your toes and provides great views. Lots of small wildlife around and when you catch a breeze its manageable. Starter Ira was informative and helpful to get us going as was Craig at the outside service area.
miketeri89,
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club! We appreciate the kind words about Ira and Craig and will pass along your comments. We look forward to seeing you again!
Always a good time at Lookout Mtn!
Played this on Sunday and it was great as usual. Staff is always first class at this facility. The course is so unique it is a challenge for all skill levels. The putting green was closed for some work but the greens on the course were in great shape! One of the absolute best summer deal so I highly recommend!
DesertClub,
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club! We certainly appreciate all the great comments about our staff and golf course. We look forward to seeing you again this summer!
Needs a little love, but fun nonetheless.
This is an interesting layout, with lots of hills and some very challenging shots. Greens are small, and fast. The course is pretty beat up, with many shots from bare ground, even in the fairways. Bunkers are fair but found most to be either muddy or rocky. A couple holes are a bit cheesy, like a 112 yard par 3 from the back tees or a 90 degree dog leg left on a 280yd par 4. The first impression is the 80s vibe to the clubhouse, and the 1/2 mile cart drive along the busy road to get to the range and first hole. Pretty unique feel to the place. Staff is awesome, and very friendly and helpful. Worth the off season price, but would be hard pressed to pay any more any other time of year.
dlpurv,
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club. The golf course does play shorter than most courses as it was built in the 80's before length was needed. The greens provide the biggest challenge to the course. While it is summer time, the course goes through transition and often bare spots appear while the grass grows back. We hope to see you again in season, when our rates are much lower than comparable Scottsdale courses!
Lookout Mountain Great Phoenix course
Loved the elevation changes, the course was in good shape. Greens a bit slow-hadnt been cut recently. Love the neighborhood layout around the course some of best in AZ. Only complaint, the bunkers were terrible- very inconsistent in tecture- some hard, some with lots of small rocks-some had very shallow dirt mix sand.
AZ has the worst bunkers in the west.
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club! We are happy that you enjoyed the course layout and found it to be in good shape. Our maintenance team is always working to maintain the bunkers and we will be sure to share your comments with them. We look forward to seeing you again!
One of the best deals in North Phoenix in the summer...
Altogether it is great value for the money compared to all the other courses in the summer months. Staff is always friendly and the starter does a great job.
tarifachris,
Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Club! We do pride ourselves on being one of the best values in town so we are happy you feel the same way. We appreciate your kind comments about our team members. We look forward to seeing you again!
Course was in awesome shape overall!
Had an awesome overcast day of golf in July! Course was green and challenging as usual! I’ll be back!
