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.

Aguila is one of the finest municipal courses you could ever play.

This is one of Phoenix's best quality of life offerings. Aguila is always in good shape and staff keeps the pace of play tolerable for a muni. It is challenging from the tips and playable for novice golfers from the shorter tees. The views are very good as well.

I'll be back!

Million dollar views, and pretty good value, this municipal course is a real winner in my books. Long enough from the tips to give your driver a workout, and with a few twists & turns to test your iron accuracy. A little slow on the weekend, but I'll definitely be back.

Great desert course for the money (walking rate of $29 with GolfNow).

Coming down from Alaska for a short vacation, I was looking for a desert course that could make me forget about the cold and still feel like I was in the wild -- and for $30 or less. Aguila gave me all of this.

Great Layout

Great value. Not the typical, winding through flood control and houses design. The valley has far too much of that. Especially in the Northern communities.

Definitely an accommodating, knowledgable and friendly staff.

One of my favorite municipal courses in the southwest.

Great practice course

The Aguila par 3 course is more of a pitch and putt than an actual par 3 course. This was a great practice opportunity for me. The greens are absolutely the best I have ever played in my entire life. They are extremely soft, fast, and true. And it takes less than an hour to play nine, as I was the only person there on a weekday. This is a great place to practice if you want to come early before a round at their championship course.

Great course - the best golf in the valley for under $50

As always, the course was in good shape after overseeding. The temperature was in the mid-80s and a lot of people came out for a beautiful Sunday of golf. So the course played unusually slowly. It took almost 3 hours to finish the front nine. They might want to consider having a starter and a ranger on the course during the weekend to speed things along. The staff is always terrific here and you will have to look very hard to find a better muni.

A great golf experience in a beautiful setting.

This course asks you to use every club in your bag, with a number of long par fours, and a fair amount of water coming into play. Beautiful mountain vistas add to the enjoyment. A great value and a good course to walk.
