The stadium-lit night golf experience draws consistent praise for its unique atmosphere, with music, sunset views, and a fun challenging par-3 layout. Exceptionally friendly staff and reasonable day-of tee time pricing make this a strong value in the valley.

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.

Course is solid condition, if you miss the green you’re hitting out of rocks though. 3/5

Getting Clipped

Par 3 course with a couple short par 4s. The look of the course is cool and the driving range reminds of Tin Cup, just missing the car and Romeo. I’d value this place at more of a 40 dollar track vs the 89 we paid. The carts were nice staff was excellent but they DO NOT take cash which is a huge let down. The pace of play was slow because let’s face it, a ton of hackers pretending to be pros. Luckily was a nice day and the beer cart gal was friendly with ice cold adult sodas. Tees were tore up but to be expected, green areas of fairways were nice and the greens were slick. All in all an okay course to take kids and wives as the course is not long and a nice place if you want to work on short irons. No need to let the big dog eat on this one.

I Feel Clipped

How could anyone screw up, what was a challenging executive course, so bad in such a short period of time? I've been golfing this course for greater than 20 years and have never seen the conditions so bad and the coarse layout screwed up so much. The best thing about the course was the staff friendliness, now they were amazing! The cost of golfing this course is exorbitant and value for money is non-existent. Let's turn this course back into something that is playable as well as enjoyable and not some hyped up piece of junk. I'm not only upset with the course layout and changes but the exorbitant prices are unbelievable. Please turn the course back to the city where they at least know how to run a decent golf course!!

Perfect weather!

To much dirt paths around the clubhouse and outside bare area. The cart paths in general need some love. Greens were hard and fast, very challenging. Beers were over over priced! Overall had a fun enjoyable round !

Fantastic Executive Course

If you are looking to tighten up your irons or just play a shorter round, this is the place.

The staff is top notch. I played as a single and pro shop were able to move up my tee time. The starter was awesome and easily the most friendly starter I have ever run across.

Play here. You will love it.

Fun community golf, day or night

Better late than never, this facility, when overhauled a few years ago, finally brought night golf to the Valley of the Sun. It is a great hangout as well as a golf spot, as fit for an evening driving range grind session as for a fun meetup with friends around the par-3 course, whose terraced greens provide just enough challenge under the lights.
