I bought this hat 2 years ago when I played the par 3 part of Aguila.  I finally got to play the big boy course.  Loved it!
Mark S.

Here is my top-5 list of reasons why Aguila Golf Course gets a 5 star rating from me: 1. It is beautifully laid out. I did a little internet research and found that it was designed by a guy named Gary Panks (who passed away in 2024). Panks has a ton of impressive courses on his resume (one of them is at the Wild Horse Casino and I loved playing there, earlier this year). Full disclosure: I'm not sophisticated enough to know the difference between a well designed course and a bad one, but I sure did like this place. It was challenging. Pars did not come easy--*and I was hitting and putting the ball pretty well that day. (I ended the round with 5 pars--and just-missed 4 others. ) Aguila's course lay out was also forgiving when my slice occasionally decided to show up. Twice, I was able to return my ball to play from adjoining fairways and resume a legit hunt for a par despite a "crap!" drive. Basically, the course does not destroy one's confidence, but it will expect you to make good contact with the ball... and you also better be making intelligent choices when it comes to course management. (Water hazards, sand bunkers, undulations on the course, and trees along the way could make things tricky). 2. It is exceptionally well-cared-for. The place was immaculate--not a speck of trash or tree debris to be found. Putting surfaces were smooth and putts rolled true. Tee boxes were lush and well groomed. Apparently, surrounding trees have recently been trimmed, so it felt like I had stepped into a post card. The one trade-off regarding the spotlessness of the grounds is that the maintenance crews were working on numerous holes. I am not distracted by the noise, and hustle and bustle of these crews, but others might want to know that workers will be probably be out there "doing their thang." 3. Pro-shop staff, the snack bar crew, the starter, maintenance workers, and the cart lady were absolute gems. Every staff member that I interacted with definitely gave off a vibe of sincere friendliness, had a level of professionalism that was top-notch, and made the choice to share a dash of caring energy with me. One specific thing that stands out in the area of customer service shared with me by Aguila staff had to do with the fact that I, "Eff-upped" and booked a tee time for Wednesday--but showed up, ready to play, on Thursday. The woman in the pro-shop worked some, "computer magic" and was able to honor the Wednesday booking. (She playfully let me know that I was pretty lucky that she actually could do it-- and I know it! But what a nice touch it was on her part to show empathy for the goof-ball who should have had to pay for another tee time.) 4. GPS guidance in carts. Come'on now! This is a public course! It seriously is as nice as some of the semi-private and upscale places that I have played. (Not that my golf-course body-count is that impressive--but I have played at a few places that were exceptional. Aguila is up there with them.) As if that isn't enough, the practice areas here are amazing, the bathrooms are spotless, the views of the desert are beautiful. 5. Fairways were lush. Yeah, I know this is related to my #2 reason, but as I am now starting to get the fever for playing golf, I am finding that well maintained fairways with the "Goldielocks-zone level of grass (not too high and not too scalped) make play so much more enjoyable. As I struck balls on these links it was almost as if angels began to sing. The course record was never in jeopardy, but I did play at near my best game levels. This place was so much fun, and will be remembered as one of my best-ever experiences in my golf journey, so far. I'm not the boss of you, but you definitely should put Aguila on your bucket list as a place to check out. I can't wait to play here again!

Beautiful mountain and golf course views. Putting or playing a round of golf this place is therapeutic with open beauty. I went fishing at the lake that's there. I was practicing my cast and enjoyed watching the ducks, geese, fireflies, and turtles. Plenty of shaded areas and a walking path around the lake.

I love the 9 hole, executive . Nice people beautiful place to golf. My favorite place to golf. Greens are very nice and able to go 9 holes again and again!!! I purchased the city senior card and really helps with the fee

This was a pleasant surprise! My hubby's frat bother has an ad on the 4th hole!

I really like this course! I just wish it was closer to our house. (We live in Chandler.) Anyway, the course is in great shape and the staff is extremely friendly! The views of the mountains is also nice!! I highly recommend it!!

It was my first time golfing here. It's just a 43 minute drive from my home via the back roads. I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in great shape with green fairways and greens. The greens keeper and his team are doing a great job. The greens ran true. They do have cart girls making their rounds. The price was right at $40 w/tax and I would definitely play here again!

Love to practice here!

This course is called the best kept secret in the Valley! Always in great condition, greens are beautiful, bev cart on course, drinking fountains, shade, all one would want for a fun golf outing! Staff always friendly & helpful. Marshall usually on course, but pace moves usually right on time even when busy. Also has 9-hole par three course, rental clubs, large practice facilities & restaurant with full grill & cold drinks!! Bring the whole family for some outdoor fun!!

Great view!
Scott R.

First time hear and what a great course! Really well maintained and great staff! Course was in great shape considering the summer heat. Wide open at times so good for all levels. Bev cart came by 2x's, which is great! Loved the background of South Mountain, did not feel like a desert course at times. Can't wait to return!

I liked this course. 5400 for women but balls roll out fairly well. Greens were good. I would play here again without hesitation.

Get a ranger. It should not take 4 hours and 50 mins in July with a 545am tee time. Ridiculous. First and last time.

Now Phoenician only has 18 holes, lost 9 holes to vacation homes being build around the course. The course is still beautiful and back 9 has some good views with beautiful landscape surrounding the course. As for the course, it is in excellent condition with minor brown patches due to the summer heat. Most holes are target golf so Make sure you know where to aim. It is challenging due to undulating fairways and greens where our group truly enjoy the round. Will definitely return when I find good deals on teeoff.com again. Nice golf carts with TuneIn stations. Cooler with ice to chill your canteens. Chill bottled water provided in most comfort stations Friendly OSP and staffs. Bathroom on course: A+

We enjoyed a lovely dinner unfortunately we weren't close to the restaurant but when we called the front desk we where told the bell boy come to our door with door to door golfcart service . J&G offered an incredible dining experience. I felt like I was at home here and I can't recommend this Luxury resort enough. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. If you're looking for luxury accommodations at your fingertips this place is an absolute must-try!

I never leave reviews but this is something that I had to say. I was having trouble with an ARCIS…read moreMembership question. I called the golf shop and James answered the phone. He not only tried to help me with the problem but he researched how to help me and called me back when he found the information. After figuring out what needed to be done, it was needing a managers approval. James was able to get the situation to the manager and he personally called me to explain how we could fix the situation. The manager called another club and made the situation work out. Unbelievable effort Customer service has been declining in pretty much every area of the service industry over the last 5 yrs or more. The effort given by James and the manager was nice to receive. Thank you very much to James and the Manager (I think his name is Josh.)

The course is great but not Andy at the golf shop. He definitely needs some customer service…read moretraining. We checked in for my 2 sons. Then decided we wanted a cart so went back. He asked why we needed another cart. He never told us our rounds came with a cart. I also witnessed 2 guys (who we ended up playing with) who checked in got the worse service. Andy threw (literally) their receipt and credit card at them. It's just unacceptable, especially first thing in the morning prior to tee off. I have staff on the front line and would never let this slide. I hope he gets some good customer service training or put him behind the office away from the public.

In fact, one of the first signs that you'll come across is a quote by Tiger Woods. "Some of my happiest memories are of spending time with my Pops on the golf course having putting contests." Awww! I came with my fam and for the adults it's $30 a person and for kids it's $20 for all day putting. It includes your golf club rental and a ball. You can also have the option of opting out of the cost if you just want to watch and in my case, I was just going help my kiddo and observe. We wanted to have lunch first and the food is actually pretty good! I actually got the burger in a wrap which made it feel healthier yet still savory & delicious! There is also a shaded playground, foosball and ping pong tables. There are 2 mini golf courses to choose from, black (easier and flatter) and red (harder and hillier with obstacles). It's designed like a classic putting course without the cutest obstacles. So for younger kids, they may not find it as engaging unless they are really into putting. You can also order drinks and food while on the course and it'll be delivered right to you. Overall, it was a fun experience!
