Aguila Golf Course

Aguila Golf Course is an 18-hole links design course created by Gary Panks, situated at the base of South Mountain in Phoenix. The course features scenic mountain views and is characterized by water hazards that come into play on five holes, with three lakes strategically positioned throughout the layout. The terrain and setting reflect the natural Sonoran Desert landscape surrounding the course. Difficulty and playability vary by season, with the course open year-round to accommodate Phoenix's climate. The links-style design emphasizes shot-making challenges typical of the genre, with the mountainous backdrop providing both aesthetic appeal and strategic course definition. The course serves as a municipal facility operated by the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, offering accessible golf to the local community with tee times available daily.
