About

Holes 18
Type Municipal/Public
Style Parkland
Par 71
Length 7239 yards
Slope 135
Rating 74.3

Grand Canyon University Golf Course (formerly known as Maryvale Municipal Golf Course) offers an 18-hole track designed by Ted Robinson, Sr. and built in 1961. The par-71 golf course measures 7,269 yards from the championship tees and is open year-round.

The Bermuda grass Grand Canyon University Golf Course gets plenty of shade during the summer, thanks to several onsite trees, and features flat and wide fairways.

The fourth hole, for one example, is a 160-yard par-3 where you'll have to shoot over the water - and past the brick wall that separates the green from the water.

5 1/2 hr round

Had a 12:50 tee time on a Friday so was planning on a slower than average round but 5 1/2 hrs is untenable. Didn’t see a single Marshall during the entire round.

Hard hat course

Super crowded. Golf balls flying everywhere. Conditions are not great, and it’s an awful layout. Plenty of other courses to play in the area.

Slow, slow, slow

Started on time at 12:25 with the group in front of us on the par 4 green. Got up to the first green after our second shots and saw 3 groups on, or waiting, at #2. That pretty well sums things up. I left after finishing #14 at the 4 hour mark. I saw one marshall as I approached the tenth tee. He asked "how's it going." But kept driving and obviously did not care to hear anything I might have to say. Condition of the course was decent. Greens were in good shape but slow.
