With the help of a Meta Quest headset users can now engage in immersive, under-the-lights play at the renowned Tempe, Ariz. venue.
The virtual rendition of Grass Clippings Rolling Hills provides detailed and realistic environments, allowing for full-round play that mirrors the unique nighttime golf experience of the actual course. This addition enhances GOLF+’s portfolio, delivering diverse and authentic golf experiences to gamers.

We’re excited to be able to introduce our community to a place like this.”
Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, Arizona’s first fully illuminated 18-hole golf course, has become a popular destination for golfers seeking nighttime play. The course features 78 LED lights, enabling play until midnight, and offers panoramic views of downtown Tempe, Sky Harbor Airport, downtown Phoenix, the Phoenix Zoo, and the Papago Buttes.
“This partnership reflects how the game of golf is evolving. We’re seeing growth not just in traditional formats, but in new, technology-driven experiences that bring more people into the game,” said Grass Clippings Co-Founder Jake Hoselton. “GOLF+ is at the forefront of that movement, and to have Grass Clippings Rolling Hills become the first lighted course added to the platform is something truly special. It connects our course to a global audience in a really exciting way.”

About Grass Clippings Rolling Hills
Set on 93-acres in the heart of the Papago Buttes, Grass Clippings Rolling Hills was the first fully lit 18-hole golf course in Arizona. On March 2, 2023, the Tempe City Council approved Grass Clippings’ plan to overhaul and operate Rolling Hills Golf Course. Grass Clippings executed a long-term lease with the City of Tempe and took over the property on July 1, 2023 with Troon immediately assuming management of daily operations. Scottsdale-based WestHawk Capital partnered with Grass Clippings to lead a $15 million round of equity capitalization to finance the complete renovation of the facility, including the installation of lights and the full F&B and amenity package currently under development. The golf course reopened on Friday, November 3, 2023 following a four-month golf course renovation project and rye grass overseed, construction of a newly designed 9th hole, new tee boxes, installation of a new state-of-the-art irrigation system to improve turf quality, and a new 15,000 sq. ft. practice putting green. Grass Clippings Rolling Hills then opened to night golf play on Friday, December 1, 2023 and instantly became a favorite destination for golfers. More than 78 LED lights illuminate the golf course, which plays as a par 54, par-3 golf course at night and as an executive-length golf course (with par 3s and 4s) during the day. Golfers are able to track ball flight through the night sky on holes that range from 90 to 200-plus yards, while enjoying 360-degree views of downtown Tempe, Sky Harbor Airport, downtown Phoenix, the Phoenix Zoo and the nighttime silhouette of Papago Buttes.
The introduction of lights and night golf was just the beginning for the golf and entertainment venue, the flagship location for Grass Clippings’ cutting-edge vision. The team unveiled a refurbished golf shop in May 2024 followed by renovating the clubhouse, adding the Glenrosa restaurant and a patio bar.
