Grand Canyon University Golf Course
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.

Grand Canyon Course
Overall course was not in good shape. Greens were shaggy and slow. There was hundreds of branches and sticks all over course in rough near fairways that were not picked up. Ive played all over in PHX and this was the worst taken care of course I’ve played.
Golf in the rain
Played here when it was drizzling the other day and it was a really enjoyable experience. The pro shop staff were really friendly and got me out on the course very quickly. Was able to tee off ahead of my scheduled time and play as a single. Given the rain we got the night before and that day, the course looked good with only a couple spots of standing water in low lying areas. The course overall was alive and well from tee box to green. Nice driving range with grass to hit from. Will definitely be back again to play this course.
GCU August 2023
Conditions were overall good. Sand on tee boxes and some greens. 8/10 rating. Pace of play was good.
GCU please get with Garmin to update your course
Course was in good condition for the summer months.
Still wish all these "Karen's" would stop whining about t-boxes, isn't that one place on a course that you can place your ball in a good location, hello ?
And to those who don't have the consideration to rake the trap after they head out of the bunker maybe you should stick to Goofy Golf ???
If you're using a Garmin GPS device FYI it is not updated in the system. Please GCU get with Garmin and help us out
Good condition for summer play
FYI: GCU will not work with Garmin gps, wish they would get with Garmin to resolve issues.
To those who can't muster the courtesy to rank bunkers after their shot, maybe you should stick to Goofy Golf until you can develop some consideration ?
And what's with the complaints about t-boxes?
Isn't that the only place on the course where you can determine where to put your ball ?
Great parkland course
Grand Canyon's University course is a great break from desert washes, hard out of bounds, the desert type courses. Coming from the Midwest I was very familiar with the parkland design. Fun off the tee, if your too far out of position your not severely punished. They do a great job of watering and maintaining this course, a great bargain!
Course being worked on
Caught the course under considerable work on fairways. .
Also Garmin yardage is way off. They need to update it. No fun playing with inaccurate yardages
Disappointed
I've played this course several times in the past. The conditions of the course were the worst I have seen. The greens were slow and splotchy. The tee baxes were OK but could have used some care. The fairways were hit and miss as far as grass being available to hit off. And a majority of the approaches to the greens were dirt. The club house as first rate as was the service and the quality of the food.
Sub par course
It is only June and the course was looking more like August. Lots of bare spots on the fairways and even more spots where the grass was sparse. Greens were bumpy and a couple of my putts didn't go in because there seemed to be a rim around the hole. Club house was beautiful and staff were all extra friendly
sanded bumby greens
fairways were punched ,most lies were little rough probably bad time of year to golf there.
