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.

Excellent Muni

One of the best muni’s I’ve ever seen. However, I wasn’t advised that the greens had just been heavily aerated.

The greens were a bit slow but receptive to approach shots. Loved it.

Great Value!

Aguila exceeded my expectations. Course conditions were very good and the greens in excellent condition for the middle of the summer. Aguila is probably the best public course choice you can make right now. I’ll be back!

Good course

Enjoyed my round. Wish we had been told in advance when booking that the greens had been punched. Didn’t find out until we talked to the starter. This made the greens not that great, putts were all over the place. But overall, will continue to play and recommend.
