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.

The course was fun to play and the layout is decent. The fairways are not so narrow where you are penalized for an off center shot, but not so wide that it the challenge is removed. My main complaint about the course is the speed and inconsistency of the greens. I lost several strokes on the putting green due to the inconsistent nature of the greens. They were slow and several of them had two different grass heights that was very visible.

Coarse was fair value for the cost. The fairways and bunkers were poor. Greens are slow but ran true.

What a pleasant surprise

We booked this course because it was close to where we were staying. We had read good things about the resort trying to revive and thought we would give it a try. It was in great shape and we were paired with a wonderful couple. We look forward to seeing the changes next year when we return.

Getting better

All the greens were in great condition and fast. Course could use more grass seeding etc but the layout is still one of the best in the area. Staff was friendly and we played 18 holes starting at 1:12 and finished at 4:55, so a good pace.

Course is looking tired

Played this course a few times now and every time it seems to be getting worse and worse. Some tee boxes have either minimal grass or it’s not trimmed. The fairways are starting to thin out with patchy dead areas or just packed dirt. The rough is full of dead trimmings, bushes, trees, trash, and maintenance items. There is more trash lately but we did meet a marshal from Canada who was picking up trash and broken tees, thank you! The bathrooms are in bad shape with one having a broken toilet in the ladies. The water fountains are rusted out and one is missing-not sure I’d drink from them. The staff is very nice. Pace of play was a little slow, had to wait a few times because the group ahead had to wait. With all the rain the course should be better.

Golf Day

Teams not not spread out enough, made for an on relaxing day off golf, felt pushed and rushed. Fairways and greens pretty flat, not real challenging, all and all good course to get out and play.

Nice course

The course is quite nice and in pretty darn good condition. In addition the staff was very friendly. Like most courses, they increased their green fees by 33% during spring break which is my only complaint.
