Grand Canyon University Golf Course

Really enjoyed this course!

Challenging and plays well!

Still love the layout but not sure how they are hosting a college team here. The old Maryvale course had better greens than this. So bumpy and patchy and this was early in the morning so I can’t imagine how bad they are late in the day. Greenskeeper placed holes in gross chewed up spots on some holes that didn’t make sense. Aguila by comparison is by far better even when they punch their greens. The fairways are ok but near the greens they seemed overwatered. Bunkers were pretty good once dry. Wet was like hitting out of a Slurpee. If it wasn’t for the facility I don’t think I would come back.

GolfNow quoted $75 per player for the round. I was charged 89 at the 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.
