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.

Golfer Reviews
Pace of play
No Marshall. 9 holes took 2.5 hours. First 2 on back 9 took 45 min. Had to leave early and not get in 3 holes because sun was going down. Tee time was 2:10 pm.. ridiculous.
Very nice Course conditions of Course were Good, only Hicup was they had 3 groups all with the same Tee Time which made our Time be pushed back overall a great Time just wish all the Courses would stop trying to gouge everyone by uping there prices
Good basic golf
Easy course, only walkable course I've seen in the Phoenix area. Par 3's were challenging particularly with the wind.
Pretty Good
Was in a rough part of town but once in was ok. Course is tight and had 5 occasions that other players on other holes dropped shots on top of us. More target golf so you stay out princely not a lot of fun. Was looking for a hot dog at the turn but that service didn’t start till 11 and we made the turn at 10:45. All in all a good track to play. The bunkers were soft and truly a penalty which I liked. Water comes into play on a few holes and force’s a good target 🎯 shot from the tee. Shine fairways were a bit soggy from watering but not unplayable. Want made aware of split start on 1 and 10 but the starter was friendly and got me sorted out. Would play again.
Reasonable value
GCU Golf Course was formerly a muni course, and the layout reflects that. It is not a desert style resort course or links style course that winds its way through a housing development; it is bounded on all for sides by city roads. However, it is well kept, with quality sand in the traps and generally good conditions on fairways and greens.
GCU students assist with your clubs and carts, and they are extremely polite and friendly. Pace of play was fine. Compared to other course options at twice the price, GCU is a fine alternative.
nice layout and moderately challenging
Greens were some what slow on this day, but I was told they are generally fast. definitely enjoyed playing and would recommend this course to others. staff were friendly and pace of play was acceptable for this time of the year.
Looks like it’s in summer-shape, not March-shape.
Love the course, the guys I played with have joined me for numerous rounds there, and we all agreed that the course looks like it’s late May when they’re struggling to keep it up, as opposed to a cool March when it should be in great shape. Several fairways were looking quite bare, there is not an inch of rough to be found that looks like it’s seen water in a month, and just all around not what I’ve come to expect of the course in the 6+ years I’ve been playing it. Same course in mid-June, I’d say they’re doing a great job, but in March, for $100, we all expected better.
Nice Track / Great Value
Nice course, bunkers do come into play often on drives so leaving driver in the bag may be better option. Staff very courteous and efficient
