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 short course 9 hole

Super fun short course to walk, super easy to navigate and quite a good array of hole distances to make you still have to do some club selection constantly. The course looks amazing and every time I have been there playing there is always nice people keeping it chill on the course even when you have to wait at the tee box for a bit

Always a good value.

I've played three times now. I've met some good folks out playing. Sometimes it backs up a little but there's plenty of available seating and the course is very pleasant. My boys have a great time and it's challenging from the back tees. Great value.

First time here

This short, all Par 3s, 9 hole course is worth the money. It is cheap and easy. It is definitely for beginners or those looking to work on their irons and wedge game.

The chipping green, the two putting greens and driving range are all great! Very nice and well maintained.

The big disadvantage of the 9 hole course is that it is a cheap, public, first come first serve. So it attracts a variety of characters and has lots of radios blasting.

I would take my young son there to learn.

Very short but good condition

The Aguila 9 hole course is a great course for beginners or any looking to sharpen their wedge game. It is a walking only very short course (1081 yards). There are 2 holes around 175 yards; remaining holes less than 110 yards. The fairway and greens are in great condition. It shouldn’t take more than 90 min to complete the course. For the cost, about $15, you can’t beat it.
