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.

Fantastic course

I had not played here before and I am sad I hadn't played here sooner. Challenging course, tough greens and incredible views. What more can you ask for. It's now my favorite course in the valley and can't wait to play next week again!

A Favorite

For the temps & time of year, the course is in very good shape. This is one of the best designs in Arizona, features great variety & options. Always try to take out-of-state visitors to play here, knowing that they will enjoy it.

Best greens in the valley

The greens are the best. Firm but true. No summer burn marks. Overall, the course is in great shape!

Nice Course!

Sweet course with a different layout compared to other Phoenix courses. Pretty wide open for your first 6 holes and then tightens up for the rest of the round. Course is in good condition.

Great except for bunker conditions

Bunkers either need to be watered which would be extremely difficult considering how many there are or more sand needs to be added. This is a problem that shouldn’t be overlooked!

A MUST

Title says it all. You need to play it twice, once for the beauty, the 2nd time so you know where to hit. What a beautiful track. While in town give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Painted grass

Ok course with some funky tricked up holes
Since when did troon courses start painting the grass?
Its what low budget courses do instead of seeding properly
If you want your shoes, clubs, towels and balls to be covered in sticky blue crap stear clear of this dog track

You can play that course every day and will always like it

Everything is good at that course. Easier first 6 holes to warm you up followed by 12 jaw breaker holes with a higher degree of difficulty.
