Still good shape

For the most part , the course is still in good shape , with a few fairways and greens being a little rough . Staff was ok not exceptional for a resort course . I arrived and no one to greet us or take our bags . When I did see , what I assumed was the starter , he never said hi or good morning . All he asked was my tee time and he had that wrong .

Otherwise , I would play this course again.

Turf Bad Shape

Haven’t played this course in a while and will not play again. Turf was bad with many dry dirt areas.

Golden Hills Golf Club

Golf course was near empty. Pace of play was great...Finished in 3.25 hours.

Greens were quick and lacking grass. Lot's of bare areas on the greens. Fairways were plush but once of the fairway, grass was hard to find.

Outside services staff was extremely friendly while the pro shop staff left a little to be desired. Overall, I guess I would recommend this course to the part-time golfer. Advance handicap golfers will get bored.

Great I provement

Arizona Grand is our favourite course! We played this course last April (2025), and at that time we were disappointed with the poor course conditions. We decided to try it again this year and I am very happy we did! The course this year is in almost perfect condition. The only issue is the forward (red) tee boxes; many were humped in the center, making it difficult/impossible for my wife to find a flat tee-off spot. This was our last game before returning home to Toronto, but we will be back next year.

Az beauty

This course is amazing, a little challenging if you can’t hit the long ball. Lots of hills and water.

Had a great time and almost pared the back nine.

Fences

I play The Grand about 40 times a year and they have added these new fences that make it hard to get out on the course where you need too!

Playing blind

My first time, lots of blind shots, elevation changes made this very difficult, course book provided for free was helpful but very hard to pick clubs and hit landing areas. This slows down pace of play for resort guests unfamiliar with the course. Nothing you can do about it, it's a very tricky, challenging layout. Love to play it again.

Needs some work but has potential.

Negatives:

•Mounded & slanted tee boxes.

•Tee box were torn up. It was obvious they hadn’t been moved.

•Tee times are too close together. 8:15 tee time. 5.5 hour round.

•They have 1/2 of the fairways blocked off with rope & stakes.

•Overly sensitive gps on the carts.

Positives:

•Really cool layout with a couple of good views.

•Descent price but still not worth it with the conditions.

•It looks like they may start putting some money into the course. Saw some new flower beds around some of the tee boxes.

First Time

Really enjoyed the course holes offered multiple looks and club options. Open fairways, tight fairways, desert conditions and generous to tight greens. Putting surfaces could have been a bit quicker. Enjoyed the play, definitely worth playing again. Detroit, MI

Great track! Challenging all around.

This course is super challenging and a fun layout. Lots of memorable holes. Only downsides were the fast greens (on a weekend!) and the slow, inexperienced players in front of us. There was a ranger but it didn't seem to help much. Staff was professional and courteous. Had a fun time and would definitely play again!
