Much improved

The course finally has some grass on it! Damage from recent storms, still needs lots of work but it is now playable.

What an Improvement!

I’ve got to give credit where it’s due—this course has improved immensely since my last visit about a year ago. The course conditions are in much better shape, and it’s obvious that a lot of work has gone into improving the grounds. I heard there’s new management that actually knows what they’re doing, and it definitely shows.

The staff was also noticeably friendlier and more welcoming, which made for a much better overall experience. A special shout-out to Lexi, the cart girl! She was cheerful, friendly, and made several rounds—we saw her at least three times during our round, which was much appreciated, especially in the summer heat.

It was surprisingly busy considering how hot it was, so it’s great to see people enjoying the course again.

The one area that could use some attention is pace of play. A few course rangers helping keep groups moving would make a big difference and improve the experience for everyone - but again, they are busier than they are probably used to - at least compared to any of the courses in the area.

I also stopped by for karaoke a couple of weekends ago, and it was an absolute blast! The atmosphere was fun, the crowd was great, and it made for a really enjoyable evening. Overall, it’s great to see this place headed in such a positive direction. Keep up the great work!

What you would expect

Course could be better but is what I expected for money paid. Fairways are bare in a lot of spots. Greens were in great shape considering this is Az in July.

Brown hills would be a better name

Way too much dirt. Course is in worst shape that I have seen it in 15 years I’ve been playing there. Won’t go back until I’ve heard they make improvements.

Bad pace

For your money it’s great, but course needs to have a Marshall enforcing pace, a 5hr round is not what people want, other than that it’s a great place to play.

Complementary water on the course wouldn’t

Good for the Price

Golden Hills will always be worth the low price. Can't beat paying less than the other guys and still getting some good golf in. Friendly staff, cart girl came around 3-4 times. Course is in ok shape for summer. Only challenge was playing a 5 hour round on a Friday in the summer (summer golf in AZ is usually 3 hours). Group in front of us was not interested in ready-golf and GH has no one helping those who can't pick up golf social cues (e.g. - group behind you waiting on every shot). Other than that, it's worth the low price to play Golden Hills.

The staff makes this course

Overall the course isn’t bad.. not great , but we do love the summer prices. Can’t find a deal like this anywhere. We have met the nicest people every time we play. Marc the patriotic volunteer is always so friendly and has a wonderful personality and energy we love to be around. Cade also is another valuable staff member we appreciate.

AZ Summer Golf

Typical summer golf here at Golden Hills. Greens and around the greens in solid shape, greens were fast, and did not hold a shot, play short and let it roll. Now the bad, the staff was very unattenative the guy with the carts was very rude and had to explain that I have a tee time and I need a cart, he just looked at me like I was crazy. I know it's hot, but let's get the tee times off on time please>

Good for the price

The conditions were par for the price. I see some improvements since last time I was there. The cart guy outside sells buckets for tips cheaper than inside. They don't have any water for drinking out on the course, so bring extra for yourself. The cart girls are nice. There is some mud out on the course which means they are really working on growing more grass. It was adequate this time and I bet it's better next time. If the price stays about the same I'll be back.

Summer Morning

It’s evident that the Golden Hills groundskeeper s are working hard to repair the course back to its glory days. So I applaud the effort back they need to cut back on over watering as it causes more harm than good and really impact the play of the ball.

Pace of play

This course could use some real management.. No ranger and we played behind a jerk who "works here" that drove his cart on the greens and took 30 foot mulligan putts while we watched in the heat. Find a better run course, there are plenty around here.

It’s a marsh!

The greens and collars are in good condition but the fairways and rough have standing water . It was so humid that I thought I was in the Midwest with 99% humidity and 99 degrees. It was exhausting!

Pretty good deal for the money

Sure this course struggles to get grass growing everywhere you need it but it seems to be getting better. I play it weekly all winter and sporadically during the hot season. I played and practiced for four hours on a decent course for $20.
