Lookout Mountain Golf Club
About
Lookout Mountain Golf Club at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort receives distinctions: Golf Digest placed it among the top 450 U.S. public courses, and it regularly features among Arizona's best 25 golf course. It doesn't hurt that the golf club regularly hosts eye-catching affairs like the Harmon Killebrew Invitational, the Royce Clayton Charity Classic and the Phoenix Suns Scramble. The golf course itself offers lush greens that entwine with the Sonora Desert's terrain, which the golf club says it carefully preserves, and features 18 holes of championship golf in tandem with magnificent scenery and plenty of challenges.
There's a fairly good chance that golfers will catch sight of a quail or coyote out on the Lookout Mountain Golf Club at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort, and management asks that layers give the critters the right of way. In order to ensure golfers' shots go straight and don't snag in a cactus or chuckwalla, the club offers both individual and group glf lessons. This is also a place to enroll in the Hilton Golf Academy.
That's before the round at the Lookout Mountain Golf Club, though: Afterward, mosey on back to the 19th hole, called the Pointe In Tyme, for the drinkables and eatables.

Lookout Mountain
I am an average player 20 index. My course handicap was 16. Shot an 84.
Fun course with some elevation changes, elevated greens and amazing views! Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend!
Tough course but fun😉
Enjoyable day of golf. Better pick right tee cus otherwise it might not be so enjoyable .
Very good course that could be great
I was very pleased with this round that I booked through Troon Advantage through my home club. The only 2 negatives is the starter let a 5-some go out in front of my 3-some and the bunkers are worse than the last 2 municipal courses I have played (1 back in Dallas and the Encanto 9 here in downtown Phoenix). I am normally a good bunker player and these were pitiful in that they were compacted dirt more than they were sand bunkers.
Now that I have the negatives out of the way, let's talk about the positives. The greens were in excellent condition, and the tee boxes, fairways, and approach areas were all immaculate. Overall, given what I saw in reviews for other courses in the greater Phoenix area and their costs, this is a good value if you can access it via the Troon network at a discount over the published rates.
This is not a walking course, which is why the 5-some in front of us was so slow. Had they all been on carts, it would have moved faster, but as it was, we still finished in a little over 4 hours.
We were warned by the starter to watch out for snakes, but we didn't see any. We did see hundreds of rabbits and even a couple of coyotes as it approached dusk.
Jekyll & Hyde course
First six and last few holes were mellow; middle 9 were nuts -- crazy elevations, pretty views. No GPS in the carts, and the golf shop and facilities were antique. Still fun, esp with a hot deal.
Course was in great condition
Really enjoyed this excellent maintained golf course with challenging elevation Chang's from tee to green. Very friendly staff from the golf bag drop off to the cart return.
Highly recommend this course to anyone visiting the Phoenix area.
Scenic golf course recommend
Great layout, fairways in excellent conditions
Pace of play very slow at 3 hole until Marshall resolved issue. Tee boxes some unlevel for gold
Thank you love the course
Deano
Nice course, really nice staff, front was a good pace but the back was totally backed up, the tee boxes need to be leveled out, still a great course though.
Course in fantastic shape. Love the layout. Challenging and fair. Greens firm and fast
There are better for your $$
We had to change to play Lookout Mountain due to a scheduling issue at Biltmore. The course was mid 200’s and wasn’t worth the money comparing to others I have played this week. Local course knowledge would have help with several somewhat blind tee shots. The green were slowed I played all week.
Super solid!
Really great course and a fun design. First 6 holes are open so offer a good chance to score low, and then it gets tricky. I would recommend playing short/safe on some of the later holes as the risks did not play out well for me. 37 on the front and 47 on the back haha. Really good shape and nice staff.
Beautiful desert course. Challenging greens with flags well-protected. We played 4 courses in 5 days and this was the best value for the money. Will definitely come back to play again, and will highly recommend to my friends.
Course was in good shape. Tough to find the pro shop, Pro shop & bag drop are 1/4 mile south of starter shack and driving range, Check in is over near the Hilton Hotel. Friendly staff, beautiful views, elevation changes, course has lots of character.
Better than I remembered, I’d one back for sure
Played here this week, it’s spring break I’m told (?) so tee time was hard to get
Golf now got me a great rate for a 12:20 tee time, thanks!!
I played here 5 years ago, and the course was better than i remembered. Some really fun holes, generally excellent condition, and really enjoyed the two gents that got paired up with us.
I’ll be back!
(Only downside is that it was not walkable, too far between holes…, and the pro shop is an honest kilometre from the first tee! Ha!)
