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.

Very nice course

we loved the course. My only request would be to have the scorecards show the "combo" tees. When we went to post our scores GHIN showed that there were combo tees available but they were not on the scorecards.

Great condition for time of year

Lots of challenging holes, some blind shots, plenty of elevation gains and losses and many sloping fairways. This course keeps your attention, numerous greens display at an angle to the fairway and the slopes will carry you away from your target if you miss your yardage. The greens were in good shape with decent consistent speed. Some tee shots take the driver out of your hands. Get someone to show you around the first time you play.
