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.

Super!

Love this course! One of the best I’ve played in AZ. Excellent layout, & #10 is one of the best par 4’s you’ll ever play.

Just a great course that is exceptionally well run.

The Views!!!

This is a must play course in AZ!

The speed of play was slightly slow...could have been our groups fault! Never played the course...we will go with that.

Great conditioned course. Great layouts.

Incredible views!

Appreciate the on course service. Lots of cart service along with a shop at the “peak” on hole 10. Again, the views!

Will be back next year!

Just ok

The layout is typical of older resort style play. Range area very poor. Staff was nice. I booked weeks ahead but found out I could have saved $25 by booking day of play.

Everything was great1

2nd time playing the course. Everything is in great shape. Really like the spacing out of golfers. That seems to really help the pace of play. Never felt like we had to wait or were holding up others.

The front kind of lets you warm up slowly and gets you ready for the back. Lots of challenge and interesting holes on the back.

Greens are relatively fast...and true.

Everyone at the course is very pleasant and they seem to be happy to be there.

Fun but Hoky

The course is great but there are two holes that ruin the whole experience. You shouldn’t be penalized for a great drive.

One to play

First off I want to say that this course was in pretty good shape when I played it and I paid a rather cheap price for the round given the time of year. The greens rolled true not fast nor slow fairways were cut nicely now the only downside was my cart dying on the 9th hole so my partner and I couldn’t make it up the steep hill so we had to hold up our group to wait for a cart that was the only downside of the round all in all it was a nice day out I definitely recommend playing here

Great challenge

Course was in great shape, one needs to play this course more than once to score well. You need to know where to place your ball on the fairways and greens. Very fast greens with lots of undulations. Would recommend to anyone travelling to this region.
