Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort

I’ve played all of the big name courses in AZ. First of all, I challenge you to find a course in better shape than Lookout in July. Second, this place could easily get away with charging 2-3x as much. Get dialed in through 6 because the middle 9 will test everything you’ve learned in the game of golf. Quick/true greens and narrow fairways. I used to play AZ Grand every week because it’s close, but now I pay $25 Uber each way just to play here. Sounds ridiculous, but I’ve fallen in love with Lookout Mountain.

Pace always quick and they don’t overbook. Worth the drive from wherever you are. I’d be more than happy if this were the only course I could play for the next year.

Being a local in the area this is one of my personal favorites. I would highly recommend for any golfer!

First time playing this course after having wanted to play it for a while. Great time. Range balls are included in tee time and are readily available at the range. Pro shop/cart staff were very cool and welcoming.

Layout is tough but fair and challenges you to make good shots and club selections. Course conditions were excellent -- maybe only 2 "dead spots" on all fairways throughout course. Back 9 was more challenging to me overall than the front 9 -- overall, if you are a mid-tier player (think low 90s scoring on average), be prepared to lose some balls. No water in play until Hole 15, which has a lake on the left of the fairway (make a good choice off the tee w/ your club).

The holes I remember most are No. 9 (an extremely short Par 3 that only requires a wedge to hit the green but be wary if you come up short, as the hill is extremely steep and your ball will roll off) and No. 10 (an extremely elevated tee box that requires a skillful tee shot to get the fairway).

All in all, highly recommend. Just as a note to first time players, the pro shop is at the entrance to the Pointe Hilton hotel that the course is a part of, not the entrance that Apple/Google Maps takes you to.

Interesting layout in decent conditions for this time of year. Greens were especially good - fast and receptive. Terrific elevation changes with great views. Very different than most courses in the valley.

Only trouble was the 114 degree heat!!

No complaints, low cost, nice course, I guess I could ask why there was no screen on the cart? Fun round!

Always wanted to try this course. It's a little dated here and there but overall a good experience. Staff was great! Course seems more like an old school muni than a resort to me. Course conditions were typical summer in the desert. I will definitely play here again.

Played this course for a few years during this time of the year.

Excellent condition for greens, bunkers, and fairways.

Some tee boxes are burnt, and a little slower of play then usual.

Definitely recommend this place.

First, let me mention the guys at the bag drop. Usually this is an forgettable experience, but the guys who welcomed me were super upbeat, welcoming, and seemed genuinely interested in my experience. Side note: I hope the afternoon employees share tips with the morning guys. The afternoon folks were good, but I left a solid tip hoping they were shared with the gentleman I encounter before my tee time. Anyhow, the course was in excellent shape, without the thousands of gallons of water than have been on other courses the past 30 days. It was dry, green, and the ball was running out, just as it should be in the middle of summer in the desert. Great experience beginning to end.

My title says it all, the course is Beautiful with wonderful views, staff is very friendly and you cannot beat the price for this course. I would highly recommend this course - you get the views as Dinosaur Mountain paying $20 less for the round.
