The executive-length Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills (formerly known as Rolling Hills Golf Course) provides an excellent game and it is a very player-friendly course. True to its name, the course is quite hilly causing a few elevation changes and undulating greens. The fairways are lined with pretty trees, adding some challenge and beauty to the course. There are no water hazards but there are a few strategically placed bunkers to worry about as well as some out-of-bounds stakes bordering a few of the holes. Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills consists of ten par 3s and eight par 4s. On the premises there are also practice facilities, a pro shop, and an on-site golf pro.

Poor course condition and odd tee time management.

I have played this course a few times since it became a lit course, and while the upgrades to the facilities have been extensive, the quality of the golf course at present leaves a lot to be desired.

At 118 dollars for a evening round, with no driving range open due to renovations, and no putting green open due to maintenance you would expect good course conditions. Tee boxes were the worst I have seen, needing to hit of mats, as there was literally no grass left. The few fairways there are are in terrible condition. The green were in poor shape, either sandy, very bare or very slow and full of ball marks. They also put people playing 9 holes in front of us on the back 9 after we had finished the first 9, meaning a very slow second half of the round..

Great concept and great lights, but they need to fix the course or drop the price.

No Longer Worth the Price

Many of the holes have been shortened which slows the pace of play. Few trees left on the course and lots of dead bushes has made this once fun course a mess to play. Although most of the tee boxes are in good shape the fairways are spotty. Greens are very firm, cut way to low and are not able to hold an approach shot. Holes 10-18 are more interesting that the short "Kids-type" course that is now the first 9 holes. Food is standard fare, reasonably priced and is OK. Folks have said the outside bar along the putting green is an unnecessary nuisance and now I see why. This used to be a good place to play but not worth the price now. Other places in better condition for the same price or less are Starfire, Continental or Kokopelli.

Good experience

My friend and I decided to try out this course and it did not disappoint. Lot of par 3 but fun to play. The course challenges your short game. Highly recommend and will back again to play.

Good Course But In Poor Condition = Over-Priced

Fairways were brown and burned in some areas and the greens were cut super short and were extremely dry for this time of year. Tee boxes were OK. Seems like the owners have put more emphasis on the outside bar than the golf course. It is only May and about 30% of the place is parched. Not a good sign and not a good value for the $40 that is charged.

Mediocre, not a great value.

My nephew from Vegas wantd to play and hit balls. We hit the driving range for an hour prior. We were a little surprised at the quality of the balls. A little beat up, the turf was torn and worn out in our bay. Not the best value, compared to other options near by. Also, I'd love it if the club house offered a fridge to grab a couple cold ones prior to loading up. I had to go to the bar, wait for a tender, slide the dog gone card....I was surprised that they only accept credit cards. That tells me they are okay with charging us an additional 3%. I hate when businesses remove my ability to pay with cash. Let me decide whether I use cc or cash.

For this reason, I will not be going back.

Fun Course

Very unique course with driving range, put/chipping spot, outside bar, live music, and a restaurant next to the PHX Zoo. I scored "Good" and not excellent for course conditions only due to some construction/prepping for a golf tournament in the beginning of May. Otherwise, great overall course and will be back, especially for night golf!

Hideous

Used to play here every week until they completely revamped the course .. grass fairways completely dug up and replaced with dirt, pebbles and stones .. huge rocks lining holes; dangerous and ugly .. worst of all .. they spray that toxic green material everywhere leaving our tennis shoes green, stained and a total mess .. our balls were covered in sticky green gunk .. I could taste the toxic fumes in my lungs .. absolutely not worth playing for any amount of money .. oh, and huge ugly piles of excavated dirt .. thank goodness we only paid $30 pp and even that was too much for such a dismal experience .. never, ever again !!!
