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.

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.

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.
