Grand Canyon University Golf Course

I was told I have to pay an extra cart fee to ride alone since they were low on carts. The other single had a pull cart and was walking. I asked how he was suppose to ride with me with his pull cart and the starter just said “you paid extra so you are good”. The three people I played with and the group behind me quit at 9(single joined me on the back nine) because of the pace of play, probably because they overbooked tee times which would account for low carts maybe. Round took just under 6 hours. Just be ready to wait around and if you are a single I recommend walking or you might have to pay for the cart twice.

Sand needs to be fluffed up! Especially since we were in them constantly!

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.
