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.

Nice course with an interesting layout

We were pleasantly surprised to see how well laid out this course was with some interesting holes. We had some issues with pace of play and the Marshal did an outstanding job keeping the groups moving which was very appreciated. Definitely will play here again.

Pro shop unresponsive

During our round play was so slow
There were 3 groups on the par 3s on the back side
Saw no rangers called pro shop twice and got no answer
Spoke with receptionist she tried 3 times with no answer she told us she could not try again because she was told she was supposed to try no more than two times
This was so annoying

A bit odd

Hard to locate the entrance.
Bag drop and driving range are a long cart ride away
Older carts without GPS
Pace of play was 5 hrs.
Ranger did nothing. Sorry - we have over 200 golfers on the course.

Will not be back

Austin of England

Tremendous course with excellent greens that are receptive to check spin….just make sure you follow the course guide as there’s a lot of doglegs. A fair challenge bus as ever stay below the hole.
I’m back in Sept and will definitely be back.
