Grand Canyon University Golf Course

We paid $60 with a Hot Deal from Golfnow! The greens looked like they had some kind of fungus problem and were covered with sand!

The sand traps that they installed are in horrible shape and are not being maintained! It would have been worth $30 maybe!! Big Ripoff!!! I won't be back!!!

Can’t believe they have their university players on a course like this. I mean that course was dryer than the Sahara. I see why it’s $40 now. Fastest and most firm greens I’ve ever played on. Pretty boring layout.

I’ll go back if it’s $20 but not otherwise

GCU has done a wonderful job with this course. More on me than the course but I think I hit every bunker on the front 9. There are a lot of them.

The course was in bad summer condition with hard ground and no grass anywhere. Please water this course. It is not enjoyable to play on, especially around the greens.

6 hour round. No Marshall's

Fairways are beat and greens are crusty

Huge dead areas .

We played at 1 pm, hot day but purchased beverages from inside cafe. Pace was poor, no ranger seen during the complete round. Reached the 8th hole par 3, four groups on the hole.

Bunkers were inconsistent in firmness and in some cases, a bit bare. Green speed was great, fairways very good, and overall condition very good. Definitely will play again, an on-course person would help.

Some good thi gs about this course, conditions, more affordable, nice staff but after almost 4 hours and just finishing the 13th hole we left. Two foursomes waiting on every par 3.... I think the overkill on sa d traps is part if the problem.

Someone went way overboard with the sand. Every. Shot. Has some sand in play.

In fairness, the sand is the courses' only defense. It's a municipal course that's been re-fitted to be the GCU course.

Not to be too negative, you can have a great time here. EVERYONE was really friendly. They have a great pro shop with cool GCU merch. And hey, your golfing in Phoenix - life could be a lot worse!

I paid more for this course than wigwam and I would never choose this course over many others especially for the price. It felt like helmet golf and it was slow. The bunkers on this course are ridiculously placed and definitely add to the pace of play. Home 8 was backed up with three groups. No welcome to the course and had to pay for range balls after paying to much to golf this course. We were very disappointed but did golf with two nice fellas which made things more enjoyable. With all the other courses we won’t be back to this one.

Playable course. Quite a few bunkers. Greens were fast and not in a very good shape. Wide fairways .

Always look forward to golfing here when I visit AZ twice a year. Pace of play was good, teed off on time, was busy and had to wait on most tees but did it in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Small practice area and could be busy with teams there but never missed a chance to loosen up before the round. Proshop is always pleasant and facility is always clean. Most greens are protected by bunkers and most holes have fairway bunkers and most of them are maintained. Will continue to visit everytime I stay in AZ!

There were way too many bunkers and the ones in the fairway were unfair. Almost impossible to get out with any distance because of their depth. Too punitive. Because of this the pace of play was bad. On one hole we were stacked up at least 3 foursomes deep. Won’t play again

Almost every green was surrounded by sand bunkers. Unless you have a great flop shot, get used to playing from the sand. Course played fast and the greens were quick and hard to hold.
