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 Value

The course was in good condition and had many unique and challenging holes. Many changes in elevation made the course very interesting and fun to play. A very good value.

Pretty decent

Pretty decent for this summer weather. Pace was kind of shoddy, and no one really seemed to care much-ranger included. The summer prices brings out the hacks so maybe that’s all it is….

Solid course for the price

Has become one of my favorite places to play in the summer. After the first couple of holes the course then climbs in and out of the mountains. Amenities could be better.

Rough greens

The greens were bumpy and had been Verdi cut. It was hard to read them at times due to the conditions.

The rest of the course was in good condition

A target golf course

This course met my expectations as a first time player. I think it is a target golf course - not very long from the white tees with mostly narrow fairways and small greens. And a lot of dangerous places to avoid.

It’s also a course that requires knowledge of its geography to play well. Consequently, I’ll have to play it a few more times before keeping my score. And I’m looking forward to doing just that.

The back nine is more scenic than the front nine. The back nine also has more severe elevation changes especially from the tee boxes.

I would recommend this course for golfers who like a challenge.

Front none fair back nine is a killer

The front side was very fair. The backside was a different story. Landing areas because the ball to roll into the rocks. The backside that’s strange access the holes. I would say it was not fair. Good shot should be rewarded, but times I was not. The people on the course were very nice and helpful. The card girl was really good at making sure we had lots of ice for our water. The course was an adventure.

such a fun course

It was a very hot day, 115 when I finished. The course is so much fun and plenty challenging. Tons of elevation changes. I think it is a second shot golf course. The staff couldn't have been better. Ice cold water every four holes. It's a great golf course!
