Lookout Mountain Golf Club

The course was in great shape especially considering summer in Phoenix. The fairways were nicely trimmed and the greens are in good shape. There are some really nice views from elevated tee boxes. The only problem was the cart brakes didn’t work too good when parking on a hill. For a course this nice the carts should be in prime shape. Nonetheless I recommend this course.

Lookout Mountain Golf Course, located at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, Arizona, is a true gem for golf enthusiasts. This par-71 course offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels.

Course Layout and Scenery The course layout is both interesting and diverse, featuring a mix of resort-like and dramatic terrains. The lush fairways and large Bermuda greens are well-maintained, providing a smooth playing surface. The elevation changes throughout the course add an extra layer of challenge and excitement, with some tees elevated as much as 175 feet from the valley floor1. The stunning mountain views and tropical landscaping around the tee areas and water hazards make for a picturesque golfing experience.

Course was in good shape considering all the hot weather we’ve had this summer. The rain over the weekend helped. Course has always been fun to play and the staff really takes good care of you which for me is a very important amenity..

Not worth the money. This course was in awful shape. I know it’s summer in Arizona, but other courses I play have figured it out. I used to enjoy playing here in the early 2000’s; I won’t come back. Better value elsewhere in the Phoenix area.

Course is in real need of infrastructure work , there are some areas that are real dangerous. The fairways are in decent shape and the greens are 5 star ,the rest of course is not up to par . Also , no range finder in the cart and no water on the course .

Overall an interesting course. Up and down the mountain. Some blind shots. Fairways rough in some areas. (It is mid summer in Phoenix, so that might be why). It’s a course you really need to play a few times to know where to hit. The staff was outstanding, but I don’t think we’ll play it again anytime soon.

Said I’d recommend to a friend but with caveats.

We live a mile from here and have enjoyed playing here many, many times over the past 20+ years. Their summer 12 pack was always a must for us. The course is in a gorgeous setting and although it's a shorter course, it is still pretty challenging.

After COVID, this course started to get very expensive, even the summer pack had double in price from when we first started buying it. The rack rate for a tee time in July (July!) is over $100/player. So we haven't played here in probably a year or so.

I found a deal over July 4th weekend and was very excited to play here again. I was surprised at how poor the conditions were. I know it's summer and it's hot, again I've played here over summers for years and have never seen it this bad. Lots of bare spots and weeds.

I'm sure the conditions will be better when it's more normal temperatures, but I can't see myself coming back as the prices will probably be $300/player.

This was an excellent course with a good layout. The staff was friendly, and the group I was paired with was great. The green was pretty tricky but in excellent condition. The only negative was that the fairways had a lot of dead grass due to the time of the year and the heat.

Resort course that is in very decent shape for summer. Greens legit felt like pillows when you walked on them, very soft so you have to be aggressive with your approaches. Fairways were decent for this time of year. I got it for a steal of $29.99 and I’d pay almost double. No one in head of me till 17. Got done in 2.5. Anything over $70 for this course is a little much this time of year, but a hidden gem if you can get a deal. Reviews are correct, you have to go up to resort/pro shop to check in, not at the bottom.

The conditions werent the best, but it is a fun course to play, I will play it again
