The Aquila Golf Course facility offers two golf courses; one is a championship length course while the other is a par-3, nine-hole course. The championship course provides an excellent game of golf for an affordable price. There are scenic views of mountains and downtown Phoenix as well as a challenging layout featuring several water hazards and bunkers. Although the terrain is rather hilly, it is still relatively walkable. The course has an excellent range of holes that each have a unique character, the par 5's are especially notable. Native grasses and wildflowers are also present on Aquila's Championship course, further adding to its natural beauty.

Slow play - lack of player assistant enforcing times

I played with 5 year regulars, who said never played this slow. It happens. But was inexcusable was the fact we called the pro shop to let them know of slow play, they were slow to respond. So ended up only getting 22 holes of golf in during regular time. Frustrated with poor player assistant.

Great Course - No Cart Girl?

As far s course conditions, fantastic. The par three greens are full of ball marks - but that is the golfers not the course management. Water, length, and sand make this quite challending. I walked but would recommend walking with other walkers - it is a little long but has cut throughts for most holes.

I'll be back. Get the city card!

Great course and a great deal!

The course was in great shape,l. I got on for about 35 dollars, and there’s nowhere else in the valley you’ll find a course that features a full length par 72 course and grass at this price point. Greens were pretty nice (few issues with ball marks), bunkers were soft, grass was cut well, and the layout was a lot of fun. I was paired with one other guy who was familiar with the course which definitely helped, but we were a few groups behind a dreadfully slow group full 18 took over 4.5 hours with waiting on pretty much every shot. Things would’ve been smoother had they let us all play through, but still a good round!

Course was in great shape, greens were fantastic and fairways were nice. Only downside is if you are a single player they will make share a cart with someone instead of you taking out your own cart. Pretty ridiculous that they don’t tell you when you are in the pro shop and then the starter tells you you have merge with a random.

A Public Course kept in Excellent Shape

I was pleasant surprised to find Aguila in the best shape I’ve ever played it. Greens were clean and well maintained and the fairways were beautiful- perfect grass length on and off the fairway. Watch out for the stands of thorn bushes to the side- they make errant ball retrieval almost impossible.
