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.

Best City Course

I have never played a city course in such great shape right out of overseed. Kudos to the super and crew for a job well done. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. I love playing this walkable Gary Panks design and with the trees maturing, the course or even more beautiful. And there is shade too!

Only negative is no Coke or Pepsi products? Diet RC? What year is this? 1981? My only complaint, as goofy as it is.

Oh Well

Beautiful Saturday and course was in good condition.
Got stuck behind a freshman five some golf team with their coaches walking. Nightmare...they thought it was their own private course and could have cared less there were people behind them, how rude. Found out the pro there allowed this. (5) hours and twenty minutes was awful. Would have been nice to see a ranger and get things moving but no such luck! I'd play there again but will check to see who/what is in front of me before doing so.

Nice Layout! Beautiful Views!

The greenskeepers take great pride in their work. Office staff is much more receptive and friendly then in past years. For those two reasons, I do not mind spending my hard earned dollars at Aguila.

I've played this course a couple of dozen time, and I feel like it's one of the better values no matter the time of year. The only negative has always been the food and beverages offered here. Great mix of challenging and "easy" holes, but the entire course is payable and fun.

Nice Course

Course was in good shape. Had a backlog on the third hole and some people didn't want to pair up so it was a slow round. Shots into the greens actually held, so that was a nice change of pace from most courses around here. They lock the parking lot gates at 7:30 pm so don't even think about finishing a round if the sun is going down. We got in 16 holes in 4.5 hours, so book your tee time prior to 2:30 if you want to finish. Of course, this was a Sunday and it was a beautiful day so I will cut them a little slack on this one.

Course was in great shape. Fairways where thick and lush. Greens where in great shape and rolling fast. Looked like mower was leaking oil on greens. Hopefully this doesn't ruin them.

This course was as good or better than courses we have played for twice the price. Make this course a "must play" in the PHX area.

This course is in great shape! Well maintained and excellent staff

Very well maintained course, the Best in the area. Great contours and undulations. Keeps you on your toes @ every hole.
Definitely the best Public course in town. The staff were extremely helpful and informative about other public courses and seasonal play. I Highly recommend this course.

Great conditions for a muni track. Greens/fairways were in fantastic shape. Pace was a little slow, but expected on a Saturday morning. Overall excellent experience.

One of the two best Phoenix muni courses

I enjoy this course every chance I get to play it. The course has good, long par 4/5s with just the right number of challenging par 3s mixed in. The fairways are well maintained and the greens are excellent. Be prepared to play fairway woods on your second shots because it will be necessary on the majority of the long holes. Otherwise, it is a joy to play with mountain views and nicely maintained desert landscaping. You feel like you are playing a real course, but at a bargain price ($18 twilight).

Great course, especially considering the price

I was impressed with Aguila. Both my friend and I commented that we will definitely go back (despite the 40 minute drive). If you have a cart, bring your own, as the course provided ones are bare bones. The greens and fairways were almost all perfect, and any bare spots were few and far between. Overall I was most impressed with the general condition of the course, mostly because I didn't expect much from a muni course. The greens had a different type of grass than I'm used to seeing here in Phoenix, a little softer but they rolled fairly fast and true. There's also a nice driving range, putting green, and chipping green. Pace of play was a little slow, but considering it was Good Friday (lots of people off of work), it wasn't bad. And since we were walking, the slower pace worked out well. We had lunch afterwards (if you want to call beer and French fries lunch) and that was also good - $6/pitcher. So all-in-all, I'm looking forward to playing there again, and enjoyed the chance to walk and get in some much needed exercise while I play.

This course has great features that make the game moderately challenging.

Loved the rolling fairways and greens. For mid March they were well maintained. Pace of play seemed fair to us but, at times was borderline slow depending on the golf skills of the group ahead. They have cold water located only a few places through out the course but, no out house facilities, at least I didn't see any except at the turn.....bad idea !
They have a large driving range and greens for chipping and putting practice with lots of room for everyone.
We played this course for the 1st time and found it very pleasing and moderately challenging. When I got home the 1st thing I did was booked it again for next week.

Fun little course

We played at the Aguila 9 hole executive course. It is a par 27 with 9 par 3 holes. It is in good condition and the greens are in nice shape. The holes range from little lob wedge tee shots to around 180 yards. It's a fun little course to play with kids or just to work on your short game. It took us a little over an hour to play, but we had 2 small kids with us and 3 adults.
