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 Scottsdale Course (Value)

Amenities are minimal but made up for with a well maintained desert golf course. Greens are fast and can be tricky. Overall fun course to play and I would go back the next time i am in Phoenix. Great value for the money.

Putt with caution

Love Lookout Mountain and have played it numerous times. It is one of my favorites in the Phoenix area. I have never experienced greens quite like that before. I had more putts roll off the green then I care to remember. Maybe it was the time of year, but I don’t remember being afraid of putts there before.

Greens too fast, actually unfair.

Hit some really good shots, and had them roll off the green into bunker. One putt above the hole, just got the ball barely moving, it went 60 feet and off the green. It was pretty much a joke.

Bunnies everywhere

It was a very challenging picturesque course. Unfortunately lost a number of balls but still enjoyable. Some of the better bunkers I’ve played out of in the Phoenix area. I will say the greens had some slope which made them challenging with as fast as they played. Overall enjoyed the experience

Troon, really?

Hard to believe this course is part of Troon Golf. Cart had almost no breaks, no way to stop it on steep grades. No water in the cart, no water in the club cleaner or ball washer. Putting pins on the sides of hills doesn't make it hard, it makes it rather stupid and just slows down play. Not a test of skill whatsoever. Lousy practice area, no amenities at all. No way this course belongs in the Troon rotation. Don't bother.

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!
