Grand Canyon University Golf Course

Great layout and the fairways are in pretty decent condition. The greens are in tough shape. It’ll be interesting to see if they can save them. Pace of play was ridiculous and there was no ranger on the back. 5+ hour round. Unfortunately this is close, but not worth the time or money. I’d look elsewhere…

The course is a little rough. But not having to worry about hitting a house on an errant tee shot is great. And the sand in the bunkers is actually nice. And the course is long. But for the price, it’s a reach.

Very forgiving. No real disadvantage for missing a fairway, unless behind a tree trunk. Drives struck low roll out quite a distance. Golfers used to Georgia/Florida golf should remember to use a club or two less on approach. Overall, an enjoyable round.

An excellent layout but greens a bit slow and some of the fairways and tee boxes were a bit rough in spots but not in bad shape. Overall a good day and a good challenge.

The course was in good shape. The pace of play was complete nonsense. I left after playing the first 9 in 3.5 hours. Seen the ranger once and he didn't say a word to anyone. 7 hours for a round of golf is garbage.

The greens are patchy and scarring. The fairways are fine. The tee boxes are the best thing about the course. I havent played here since it was Maryvale and with GCU acquiring it i expected much better conditions. The new layout is more challenging but youre penalized on the greens as they do not roll well. Focus on the maintenance of the course and less on bag drop. Stick to the basics.

Decent facility but gets easily backed up on some holes. 9:30 tee time was 10 minutes behind, then there were 3 groups on the second hole, a par 3. Happened a few more times for no apparent reason. On course beverage girls were stopping by regularly on a hot day. The only real negative was that the two useless greeters handing out power carts were too lazy to put sand in the divot repair bottles. One of mine was completely empty, and the second one was almost empty.

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.
