The course is pretty, however, I booked a tee time online two days before going and they made my twosome join another twosome because they were too busy. I am not a fan of playing with new people because I get nervous so this really made me disappointed in the golf course. They should have planned out their tee times better and they shouldn't have forced us to play with other people. read more

This course was fun but management (golf pro shop & Tammy) are very unprofessional. Many players weren't happy with service. Would recommend another course because of them. read more

Played this course the other day with our family. There were 8 of us so we split into 2 groups. We played twilight and knew we'd probably not get a full 18 in. We waited a bit on a few holes (we had a 2-some in front of us and we were a 4-some). But it's what I would expect at twilight and for a municipal course. The course was in really nice shape for the price. The pace was a little slow, but really not that bad. We were able to get 16 holes in before the sun started to go down. We will definitely go back! read more

This spot seemed like a steal for a $12 course and overall greens and fairways aren't anything to special but nothing to complain about. 4/5 stars. Staff is where they lost all of the credibility, it started with seeing the Marshall come up to the party in front of mine, a POC family of 4 and telling him that his wife and two kids need to stay on pace and play hurried play as you go golf but that he would also be keeping and eye on them.... seemed very off putting but hey it's a course I get it that you need to keep pace. Brings you down to 3 stars They ended up leaving and going into the pro shop for a refund because clearly his 6 year old wasn't going to play at that pace so then we were rushed on as they swapped out time and booked someone at ours. Down to 2 stars. Now for my personal reason, about 12 holes in my buddy had a tall boy that he had left in his bag from the day before and the beverage woman yelled at him to come back from the fairway to the cart path where she proceeded to grab the tall boy out of the cart and squeeze it making it spray entirely on his shirt. Granted I understand that you're not alowed to bring in drinks from off the course but come on it's a $12 course give me a break. She then decided that bringing 2 beers onto a course was reason for us to be kick off so she started yelling "you're fucked now wait till I call the cops" almost as if trying to bribe us?!?! Anyways we proceeded to play on and finished the whole when to "rangers" aka 2 30 y/o pro shop hardos pulled right in front of our cart and took the keys out of our 2 carts and started going through our bags looking for beers that weren't there. When we walked over and asked what was going on they said we already called the cops get the fuck out of here. At this point this entire fiasco had gotten to its boiling point and we told them to give us the keys so we can end our round. We left while this two jokeys followed us all the way I've never seen common day golf problems blow up like this and I highly suggest you spend any hard earned money elsewhere like Cornado, mountain shadows, or biltmore. read more

Rolling Hills Golf Course in Tempe, Arizona is a fun, inexpensive and convenient course to play!! The pace is comfortable and the course definitely is made for high handicap, beginner players. I enjoyed the fact that I could play a quick 9 holes in the morning before work. There are a few par 4's that will test your accuracy and plenty of par 3's to sharpen your iron play. I really like the pro shop and restaurant. Staff is very courteous and I have never had any trouble getting a tee time, sandwich, drink or snack. There is a $10 special for large bucket of balls and a beverage. So even if you can't play 9 holes, you can definitely get some range work and have a drink. Exercise a bit of patience. There will probably be a few beginners on the course. But keep in mind that most players can play this course under 3 hours so it's a great deal if you eant to get in a w uick round before lunch, or a great time up round before playing a regular par 72 championship course. Rolling Hills is only 10 minutes from Downtown Tempe, Phoenix and the airport. Heck, if you have a 2 hour layover, catch an uber, go it a quick 9 and make it back to the airport and still make your flight. Hope this little review helps. If anyone wants to ask questions, just give me a holler. Thanks. (@alohagolfer) read more

Ok here's our deal: Four guys looking for stuff to do after the A's spring training game lets out. It is only 4pm on Sunday and we have a few hours until it gets dark. Right across the street from Phoenix Muni is this place, the Rolling Hills Course. We walked in to the shop and the guy there tells us the course is wide open. It was $13 per person for 9 holes. They also require each person to carry a bag, which is very typical. That was kinda a bummer because this essentially doubled the price, as we each had to rent clubs. The rental clubs were decent and each bag came with balls and tees inside, so we were good to go. The course was very nice. It was more than just an executive course, having mostly par 4's on the front 9, no fives though. We had a great time out there and will play here again next spring when we are back. read more

Course was in decent shape overall, nothing much better than what you would expect for the cheapest round I could find. The experience though was what will keep me from returning to this place. The carts were not clean by any means, and when it came to be our turn to play there was no cart attendant to be seen anywhere to clear out the beers and dip cans from the previous golfers, so it was assumed we had to do it ourselves. The other golfers on the course were extremely loud and obnoxious, yelling profanities and derogatory racial slurs that could be heard from holes away. This is not something that would ever be acceptable at any other course in town and nothing was done about it. Also, the drink cart lady was anything but polite, and she even went so far as to search my wife's golf bag without permission because she mistakenly claimed to have spotted a 'beer' when it was just simply a bottle of sunscreen. We understand the rules on a course, but to search a customer's belongings without permission was extremely rude and intrusive of our basic human rights. We purchased a drink from her though and then she condescendingly chuckled when we told her to keep the change, implying that our tip was not enough. I don't know if it was because this is a public course and therefore zero sense of customer service care, but avoid this course at all costs if you want a decent golf experience in the future. read more

You can't beat the price of $27 to include cart after 12pm. The front 9 is mostly par 3's with some challenging holes. The back 9 opens up a little more with some short par 4's and longer par 3's. Overall, a fun course if you're looking to get out for a quick round with family or friends who are not expecting pristine conditions or country club appeal. Course conditions varied from hole to hole though. Nice lounge for a beer and hot dog or sandwich after the round. They did have a cart person with some good beer specials too, as well. If you look up toward the nearby bluffs, you may see some wildlife since this course is right next to the zoo. You'll hear an occassional call or other animal sounds too. So if you're looking for a quick round to tune up your shot making, this may serve the purpose. I was surprised to play the full 18 in just over 3 hours on the Wed before Thanksgiving, course was busy but moved along. Enjoy! read more

Great course and very inexpensive. It is located right next to the phx zoo in the heart of the Papago mountains with $10-15 summer rates. However. The customer service at this place in the golf shop is terrible. I've played here over 5 times now and i cant think of one good thing to say about the young lady working the later afternoons in the golf shop. I usually don't criticize on things like that but it's unacceptable and this course would definitely get 5 stars from me if they invested in a more qualified employee. read more

We had a great time at Rolling Hills. Played back 9. Ate in the restaurant. Then played front 9. The service was amazing, all golfers were very friendly! Staff on site today was friendly, attentive, and showed true interest! Was a refreshing since of customer service! I will definitely play this tough but fun and beautiful course! read more

Nice course Arizona style, which means the fairway and greens are green but the rest is very rough like dirt. With that said, it's nice and somewhat challenging. Very good course to walk and well priced. Nice people running the place and nice (non-snooty) fellow golfers. I will definitely play again when I'm in town. Also near(less than a mile) from a cool park, lots of hiking trails, the zoo and botanical gardens for a post-golf activity. read more

This is a great city course, receives just enough attention not to be terrible, but not too good where it will attract pretentious golf snobs or reason to charge an exorbitant fee. 9 holes and a cart? 13.50. Can't beat it. Bring your own refreshments though, as there is no cart lady. read more

Great short course and yes it has a lot of hills. Challenging short holes. Greens were a little slow to my liking which is why I rated it a 4. The price was great at $30.00 with a cart. Yes you can expect senior golfers. Some are slow but that goes with the turf. Recommend. read more

Rolling Hills is great when you want a short, easy course with interesting terrain, good views, and noisy zoo animals. I believe this course has to be the only golf course in Arizona where you can hear elephants on the third hole. There is a lot of elevation change on this course. Many holes require you to hit the green to avoid rolling down a 50 foot hill into a gully. If you don't want a real serious round, just want to practice your short game (you will encounter some interesting chip shots), and just want to stay close by, Rolling Hills might be a good option for you. read more

Hubby & I play this course occasionally and always have a lot of fun! There's plenty of challenges for being a shorter course, and beautiful scenery! I must compliment the food today! We had never made the time to eat here, but after waitng almost 2 hours at a trendy Tempe place before having to leave (still without food) to make our tee time, we were STARVING! We're glad now, as we discovered this course has delicious food at a very reasonable price! It was served quickly and piping hot, and our server was professional, efficient and kind. We'll definitely plan our pre-game meal here next time! I doubt we'll be missed at the trendy places! ;-) read more

Have enjoyed this mini short course for many years. Perched on the hills around the Papago Buttes and nestled next to the the zoo and Papago Park, it was a great location in the middle of the city for a round of golf and socialization in the nice restaurant afterward. Was so looking forward to the reopening today after some major modifications. SO DISAPPOINTED. The course is NOT ready for play yet. Overseed is still too immature, construction damage ( ditches, trenches mud) not properly attended too. And the restaurant....bad. read more

Generally have a fun outing here at Rolling Hills. Yesterday, that was spoiled by the gruff and rude Ranger Bob. He kept following us the whole back 9, when he was supposed to be a starter. I was asked not to park inside the curb on 10 and obliged, but when my friend did it on 17, Bob lit into us, saying, "I told you once and I'm not going to tell you again." My friend wasn't aware I'd already been told about this. Sounded like a threat to me. Needless to say we did not appreciate his poor attitude at all. The curbs on each hole run back some distance from the approach to greens, so as to protect the grass on the other side. On hole 17, which is a short par 3, there are signs sticking up out of the ground that read "No Carts" just in front of the green. Generally you don't drive carts at all on par 3s. So why have the signs there, signaling to people they can drive up to but not beyond the signs? He accused us of doing so anyway, which was a lie. Seems to me there should be a sign that reads "Stay on Cart Path" or the like. read more

Not a bad course! Don't be fooled by the low par and short distance. This is a nice challenging little course, great elevation changes. If you want to work on your short game but still use your driver a couple times this is the place to do it! read more

Are you a great golfer, looking for a challenge? Then Rolling Hills is not the course for you. However, if like me, you are picking up the game, learning the rules, enjoying yourself, and want to spend a glorious day outdoors in Az (Now being the right time to do that!), then Rolling Hills is the perfect choice. It's very moderately priced, a round with cart is only about $30 (varies by time of year and residency). The course offers beautiful views of Camelback Mountain, downtown Phoenix, Tempe and Papago Park. It also is usually not very crowded, though sometimes the rounds can be a little slow (which can happen even at higher priced clubs). There is usually a beverage cart out (at least on the weekends), and a pretty decent restaurant for your turn snack and post-round meal. When I play golf, I play here, because of the location and price. read more

Over the past 10 years, I have been a regular player here and just recently, the clubhouse keeps scheduling other groups interrupting our group play. This has resulted in verbal arguments between players and long delays. In general, this is poor golf course management and very unprofessional. However, the bar staff is top notch!! read more

For the money and the ease of access this place is amazing!! I played 9 holes for $11 at 4pm in November and had one of the best times I have ever had golfing before. I didn't use my drivers which forced me to practice with my irons. The greens were really nice and the pro shop guy added that they are even going to get better. Hilly and full of valleys it offers challenging shots... Play it to master your short game. Grab a cooler of beers for around $20 bucks. The views of south mountain during sunset are amazing. Even the zoo animals in the background were a unique addition. It's not Trune, but for the money and convenience it's better read more

Good go to driving range in Tempe/Phoenix border. $10 special large bucket of balls with a drink included. Course and greens are nice as well. Fun place to work on your short game. read more

Really a great course, particularly for a municipal course. It's perfect for beginners (its a VERY short course), but for the price, you can't beat the views and the well-manicured grounds. read more

I've waited long enough to write my review of this gem! I have been bringing my little girl (6 years old) to the Golf Pro, Craig Johnston, for golf lessons for the past few months. I have to admit that we don't really play golf and I was very intimidated. My girl decided she wanted to learn golf and I'm so glad we found Craig and Rolling Hills. When you drive into the parking lot, there is ample parking with some shade trees which is nice. There is a wide gentle sloping entrance up to the pro-shop on the left and the restaurant to the right. They have golf bag holders and shoe scraper thingies around which is nice. Obviously they rent golf carts and the wheeled golf bag holders which I think is standard for any course. There is a driving range and 18-hole course and some of the holes are very challenging with par 3 & 4's. There are water hazards and sand traps to make things interesting and they change the location of the holes on the greens weekly to keep the regulars playing. The course is well maintained by the grounds keepers and the jack rabbits. You might be lucky to see some of the abundant wildlife here which is nice. There is an ecosystem here behind the zoo and as I understand it, there are interesting changes to come. The restaurant serves standard fare and as of yet I have not eaten here so I can't speak to that. The menu is undergoing a complete overhaul so be aware of that, and I've heard rumors of good steaks and burgers, deep fried pickles and lots of other amazing creations to come. The restaurant is casual and has many comfortable tables and tv's around the bar and large panoramic windows which look out onto the course. As it's hot out now, there's not many people out lounging on the patio, but look for that to start happening when it cools off! I hear there will be some decor changes in the near future which will make it even more comfortable and a great place to spend some time instead of, before or after your golf game. The pro-shop is where you pay and they have all kinds of goodies to look into. They have clothes and golf accessories and as I understand they are going to expand their offerings. The staff are friendly and available to help with any question or concern you might have. The teaching staff are excellent! They have single and group golf lessons. Craig is so patient and kind to my children. My girl's eyes light up when she sees him for her weekly lesson. The stuff she's learned astounds me and he takes it all in stride. One day she decided she wanted to hit all her balls with the putter! Craig said ok, lets do it! She hit every ball from the tee to the fairway with that putter and she learned a very valuable lesson: it's a game and you should always have FUN! I don't think she's going to say Mom, I don't want to play golf anymore because I'm bored or it's not fun anymore. That makes this Mom very happy that my girl has found a positive niche and great role models representing the sport. I am giving this course 4 stars because it's just been taken over by new management and I'm excited to see what's going to happen. I will come back and update when I have some new news to report. So far, I really appreciate what I've seen and am looking forward to continuing my relationship here with this course. FORE!! read more

I get to Glendale a couple times a year and really enjoy playing this course. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Even though it's just an executive course (par 62) I find it delightfully challenging. Most of the greens are located on an elevated area...a hill...so if your ball rolls off, it just keeps going for awhile. There is definitely incentive to work on keeping your drives straight on this course because there are LOTS of hills. read more

One of the best run courses in the state, hands down. Great food deals, great prices... great atmosphere. this course had it all for me. management couldent be more friendly and helpful. Decent holes!!! well done. RJ, and David, the managers, are a hoot to deal with. there is nothing they would not give to make sure your experience is top notch. they even have an atm so i can bet with my buddies. well done.... read more

Rolling Hills is great when you want a short, easy course with interesting terrain, good views, and zoo animals. I believe this course has to be the only golf course in Arizona next to a this much wildlife. read more

I've played this golf course ever week with a bunch of friends. The course is good and the restaurant is great. The customer service in the pro shop is terrible. I'm handy capped and have to carry the clubs from my car to the cart because the cart can't be driven to the vehicle area. They start you off on the back nine bunching up golfers when there is no one playing on the front nine. I've played here at least 20 times because of friends but I will not spend my money here again. Find a more friendly golf course unless you like bad customer service. read more

Played here twice during Feb 2016, enjoyed the layout of the course, it lives up to its name you can watch your ball roll off the greens very easily so be careful. The price was right thru Golfnow, the staff were very good from check in to buying the 4 pack after 9 holes. I would give Rolling Hills an 8 out of 10. read more

Unless you like putting on something that's equivalent to your living room rug, I'd go somewhere else

I had a previously positive experience with a tee time here, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, they close their driving range at 4pm which prevents anyone who wants to hit after work from doing so. They said their entire operation shuts down at 4pm, which is ridiculous considering how light out it was in February. read more

We'll kept executive course and very affordable. $15 for 9 holes. Make sure you grab lunch. The food joint is reasonably priced and excellent quality. read more

If you want to have a Fun Time Golfing that is Laid Back Chill, Rolling Hills is the Place. I have played 40 rounds here and I almost got Heat Stroke one time in the Middle of the Summer, but that was my fault. I almost got a Hole in One on the 5th Hole, I think.... I was only an Inch away. They have some Great Prices to play. Some Come out and Swing a few. read more
