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.

Crazy Layout

Wow, while it was a crazy windy day, it only added to the crazy layout on this course. The round was 5+ hours mostly due to the distances you need to drive to get to the holes. The course is tough to find from Google Maps. The course itself winds in and out of neighborhoods and up and down canyons. The holes are tough and some elevated some you are going straight uphill. Hard to see layouts for making safe shots. There were many pedistrian folks on the course and some were riding scooters and some picking up stray balls. It is not a course I would ever choose to play again!

Been playing a different course each day and this is in my top 3 - greens A+, fairways A, bunkers B+ (only because a couple green side bunkers were fairly compact).

Highly recommend and worth a play!!!!

Staff Over the Top

As a first timer here, it was a little complicated with the physical separation of starter and golf shop/golf cart station. Otherwise I thought the entire experience was great. Especially the staff who were first rate and wonderful ambassadors for Lone Mountain!

Forgiving golf

A course that’s thoroughly enjoyable with a forgiving layout and beautiful views.

Our only complaint was the back up on every hole after the first four.

I’d still play here again

Lookout below!!

Had a great time on this course! Awesome layout, challenging but playable, elevation changes, an extra par 5, and winds all around moon valley. Grass and greens are in great shape. Won't hesitate to play again when another deal pops up.
