The Par-3 Course at Aquila is a perfect complement to the original championship course at the facility. Although the nine-hole course is easier, it still has a unique and challenging design. Conveniently located just outside of downtown Phoenix, the golf course offers an affordable option for golfers to work on their short game. Numerous bunkers and native grass roughs add some interesting elements to the game. The serene desert landscape also provides majestic views of the Estrella Mountains and the downtown Phoenix skyline. The course has two teeing areas per hole as well as driving ranges and practice greens.

Slow Play Offsets Everything Positive

I've played this course a number of times. The layout is really good and the course has always been in good condition. Unfortunately slow play more than offset the goods things this course offers. We decided to call it quits after 3 hours and having played only 11 holes. 5+ hour rounds are simply not acceptable.

Right on Par

Besides the course being in great shape, the customer service was over the top! After playing a great round of golf with friends I went home planning to return as soon as I got a chance. I didn't know it would be the very next day. I received a call this morning saying I left my wallet in my golf cart. When I retrieved it 30 minutes later everything was exactly as I had left it. It would have been so easy for someone to have helped themselves to a small reward but my wallet was exactly as I left it, cash and cards included. I will be back and this time it will be to play!

This course is in a beautiful setting

Surrounded by beautiful mountains, the views are great and the course is in a really good shape. With the quails, roadrunners, rabbits, coyotes and the nice smell of the mimosas, you feel like in paradise!
Too bad we were kicked out of the course at 6:00pm on hole 17,...and no place to have a beer after the game.

Golf with Canadians

Course was in good shape especially considering all the play it gets. Greens really fast. I played with 3 siblings from Canada. Very fun people & had much fun with them. Pace was a little slow, but we finished just before dark. Course is a little hard to get to from Scottsdale, but worth it for the price. Has everything: sand, water, elevation changes & lots of desert with which to contend. Bring your game!

Good value.

The course is in good shape for a public course and the pace of play was fine. A ranger was on the course and apologized for a slow foursome, but it was really not a problem. Appreciate the assistance! We hit balls on the range--good balls and the facility is fine. I think the layout is fairly challenging based on the course rating. Hit the ball straight or you can be challenged with a desert shot! The greens were in good shape and challenging. The carts are in good condition and clean. Will definitely return.

Great layout, challenging greens

My wife and I went out late Sunday morning and even though we were running a bit late, they worked us in anyhow.

Although the burmuda rough was all brown, that's to be expected since it's winter time and it was still well-trimmed. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition it was obvious that they put a lot of care into maintaining the course. Even after a week of rain, there were no puddles or muddy spots in he fairways, showing an ample amount of planning for drainage in the design.

The pace was fine, for being so busy, although we had a minor confrontation with the group behind us who started landing balls within 10 yards from us while we waited just a minute or two for the group in front of us to be clear. Some people are just too impatient and need to relax and enjoy the day.

My only criticism is that, the flags are all white, and although they showed a number for the pin placement at the beginning of each 9, they didn't provide a pin chart to tell you what that meant for each hole. Cave Creek, another course in the Phoenix golf network, does the same thing, but hang a pin chart up in each cart so you know where the pin on each hole is placed.

Other than that, we both loved the course and will definitely be going back.

Great condition for the fair price

Worried at first because of the two players fees were less than $60 on the day of Christmas, but it was in a great shape especially in greens. Only downside was there was no beverage cart but understandable it was Christmas and found that the pin placement was 3, but there was no paper or on the score card to show how to read the pin placement.

Great Everything

This was my second time playing this course, but my wife's first time. It's a great course for people who are looking to perfect their game. Everything from the staff to the greens is on par (Pun intended).

My wife is just learning how to play golf and was not intimidated by the course, yet the course still gives my short game great practice. The approach and lay of the greens are all unique.

Takes about an hour to walk the course.

My wife and I are already counting down to our next visit to the course.

my new 9 hole par 3 course

This is a VERY well kept course. The par 3 course is not a difficult course but is a great place to practice your irons. And the value for the money - can't be beat! Highly recommend this course.

First time left a good impression

Played the 9 hole course and was a bit hesitant but was very pleased with overall experience. First time walking a course and had a great experience. You can't beat the value, online as well as in person rate was unbelievable. Kept waiting for the catch but there were none.

A "hole" lot in one!

I was looking for a nice Par 3, 9 hole golf course that offered reasonable rates. I was golfing on my own and as I am not a skilled golfer as of yet I did not want the pressure of holding up anyone behind me. I read some good reviews about this course so I chose it. The course was just over 1000 yards and offered an amazing backdrop of beautiful mountains, and the greens were very nicely maintained. I reserved a tee time through golfarizona.com. I received a great discount on the green fees to play this course and it included some practice balls.
The staff were super friendly and the fellow that helped me get my rental clubs was a pro golfer. Another nice man drove me in a golf cart the short distance to the practice area where i had a hit some warm up shots.
This must have worked because I got a "Hole in One" on the first hole. It was a 103 yards and the nice couple that i met who were just ahead of me saw it go in. My first ever hole in one. I still ended up above par on my game, but it was one of the best overall golf experiences ever. I will be back next time I am in Arizona!

Best greens in south Phoenix, esp for a muni

Aquila, for the play it receives as a muni, stays in great shape....especially the greens. Rolling fast and smooth. Play there a lot and it is always worth the money.
