Grand Canyon University Golf Course

Great course, really good shape. I try to play it every time I am out here.

Lots of deep bunkers difficult for women. Greens good but holes were old and ragged on edges. Crowned greens left pretty good shots well away from green

First time playing GCU course, good layout with good mix of hole designs. Greens were rolling very good. pace of play was excellent until last 3 holes, then it slowed down a bit. Rate for out of towners is higher than expected for the quality of this course.

In a bad area…decent course in general but it doesn’t have the wow factor like many courses in Arizona

Such a beautiful set up, not sure why they let it get beat up so bad around the greens. Any chip from off the green is a dusty tight lie. no extra water is what it looks like. Fairways are great and greens are hard, no ball marks on shots.

Don’t waste your money to play here. The clubhouse is very nice but it’s very apparent that’s all they spent money on. The rough is non existent, more than a couple fairways play more like concrete than grass, some greens were muddy, some story firm. The bunkers had a dusting of sand over concrete and were impossible to play from. No beverage cart the whole round either.

TLDR- clubhouse is very nice, course feels like a bad municipal track. Could have played Encanto or Cave Creek for almost half the price

Way too many deep sand traps. All holes look the same. Ground hard and sloped so that good shots roll into traps. All 4 players in group stated there was no reason to play course again.

an amazing # of sand traps on every hole...but no samd...like hitting of cement...greens were cement as well...pace of play was 5 1/2 hours

Fairways are good. Roughs and just that but playable. Quite a few similar holes - par 4s. Overall a decent layout and busy.

This course was good. Pro shop staff acted like we interrupted their day, maybe it was just an off day for them. Course is worth playing it’s less expensive than others in the area.

Nice public course. Fast greens. Good fairways. Lots of sand traps. Pace of play pretty good except for one par 3 with 3 groups waiting. Friendly staff. Would play again. Wonderful Canadians we paired up with. Claudio and Wendy. 😎

GCU is a challenging layout with a nice variety of short, long and in between holes. Conditions were good except for a couple of fairway that were dried out and brown for some reason. The bad news was that we got behind the second slowest group on the course. Unfortunately, they were behind the slowest group on the course. Almost 5 hours. The slowest group let another group play through on 13. By the time the slowest group was done 15, the group that played through was hitting approaches to 18.. There was a ranger out, but it appears he was trying to keep Yogi from stealing picnic baskets (google that for the younger crowd)
