Grand Canyon University Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Just average
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.
Kamal
Playable course. Quite a few bunkers. Greens were fast and not in a very good shape. Wide fairways .
Didn't disappoint
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!
Bunkers
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
Bunkers!
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.
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.
Championship course?????
Could be a gem, tee’s and fairways in rough shape. Almost a five hour round. Not as advertised.
Bunkers
Fairways and greens in good shape. This course has too many bunkers that are particularly penal. Will not play again
Good Track
Played twice in the past week and a very good golf course. Tough bunkers. One of the best values in the desert
Front 9 very slow. Some sort of tournament ehich locked up food service.
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.
