The Arizona Golf Resort is home to a golf school and a challenging 18-hole course. The golf course is known for its difficult and scenic par-3 holes. It is has a traditional layout that features large, subtly sloped greens that are guarded by bunkers. Stately cottonwood and eucalyptus trees line the generous fairways. Lakes form water hazards that come into play on five holes and there is also native rough throughout the course. With four sets of tee boxes, the course offers a suitable challenge for players of all skill levels. In addition to the course and the school, the Arizona Golf Resort has a putting green and chipping area as well.

Just average

Booked as a single and was told I wud be joining a twosome by the proshop. Reported to starter and due to a mixup we ended up as a fivesome. There were no issues, play was steady as we practiced ready golf. Conditions were below average with bare areas off the fairways, greens were OK medium fast. Some traps had little sand. Being a resort course it gets a lot of play so "average" should be expected.

Rough shape

The course is in rough shape. A lot of dried out fairway and patches that are essentially just gravel now.

Fun time

Nice pace of play for mid day, a lot of singles we let pass as we were a threesome, fairways are being worked on so a lot of yellow grass, but the greens are in good shape.

Greens nice Fairways not so nice

The greens were very nice and smooth. The fairways were in of attention. Found out later that an irrigation pump had failed and had just been replaced, the grounds crew were trying to catch up.
The pace was good, no line ups at the tee boxes.

Good practice

This is a good course to work the kinks out with wide fairways. Don’t care for the gas golf carts noisy and loud. However it is what it is and will play it again and again.

Horrible

Save your money. Course is a dead as can be, lost their water pumps, don’t bother. This makes two years in a row. I don’t care how cheap you get a tee time you will regret it.

Would not recommend. Fairways have little to no grass

Don’t waste your time. Desert sands not fair away was less expensive and much better condition.

Poor course conditions for cost

The golf course was not taken care of. We went in April when it hasn’t gotten too hot yet for it to be understandable. The fairways were a rock hard with mostly dead grass. The only nice grass was around the greens. Even when you hit the Fairway you still felt like you were hitting an errant shot out of the rough. There are plenty of other courses, not too far for the same price that are better taken care of with much nicer Fairways and kept up well.

Terrible condition

The greens are in good condition, but that’s all that is good. The fairways are bare and the forward tees are in very poor shape. Pace of play was superior - we completed our round in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Okay course for the money

Course is okay for the money-- $45 or less. All greens are in good shape. Some fairways are a little sketchy in places. Expect to encounter hard dirt if you stray off the fairway. On the upside, the fairways are pretty wide. The staff are friendly and helpful. Fill up on water before you start the 10th. Drinking fountain water is not available until hole 17.

Wish I would have known

There was a junior women’s tournament and the tee time I had was ambitious considering the pace of the tournament players which the course should have anticipated. Caught them quickly on the back nine and that ended my round.
