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.

Decent track, but not with $100+

Course was fine. Range was average, conditions were subpar, large black dead spots on greens, bare patches in fairways, uneven tee boxes. Hotdog at the turn was terrible. Also they had the lawn service team working and driving large tractor mowers on the entire back 9 at 10am on a Saturday…… gotta be a better time for upkeep. Overall it was fine and we had a good round but this is a $50 value at best.

Way worth it

First Six holes give you a feeling that today is your day!
Holes 7 and 9 are tough and you realize the first six are a pleasant warmup for a tighter back 9. Greens in nice shape and can run quickly. Back 9 prompts say lay ups off the tee and some well bunkered approaches. Staff is friendly and helpful. Paired up with some really nice locals that made the round even more fun!!
Thank you!!

Great Course Layout!

Great course to practice all types of shots. Need to know where to hit the ball on some holes to play it a few times, but otherwise a great time with some views on some holes.
Definitely worth the money to play a round! Will come back for sure.

Tough course

Course was in pretty good shape, the greens were like lightening probally 12. Some bunkers were skinned and some were like hitting off the beach(very tough) Be prepared for several blind shots and also know the ball runs fast through the fairway this time of year. Overall was a great round and a good course! Won't hesitate to return.
