Grand Canyon University Golf Course

The cart seats had open rips and foam showing through them, and the cup locations on the greens had not been changed in probably a week. The price was $135, and it was probably only worth $50. The staff had an event in the morning in the restaurant area, and it was completely closed for several hours. On a Saturday no less. GCU needs to get serious if they want to be in the golf course business.

Everything is poor on that course, the layout, the conditions, the amenities, the pace, but most of all, the course is very dangerous, the fairways are too close too each other and we have seen somebody in our fairway almost every hole. The rating of that course is way too high. We hated that course.

Great time, great young people working there, only issues a few traps had a lot of sand other traps similar to playing off the cart path. With the difficulty of the green complexes there, you can’t get the ball out of the traps with no sand, the traps with too much sand were hard to rake smooth or get a lie with out a mound of sand behind the ball. Went to raking first. Or tossing the ball to an area with sand. Will be back.

the course was packed with players , we waited on every hole . Quit after 10 holes which took almost 3 hrs totally unacceptable . not going back

7 min btw tee times just isn't fair for those trying to get an afternoon round in... Golf should not be a 5+ hour game... Never saw a player Asst/Marshall...too bad because layout and course conditions were decent

I Palau a lot of winter golf in Phoenix area in the winter and ft is not cheap compared to other coarses in the area GSU is near the top for value.

Great challenging course. Lors of sand traps, greens fast.,

We had to wait on every hole. We had three groups waiting to tee off on three separate holes. No ranger or Marshall to speed up the group slowing everything down.

Worse than most muni courses. Fore heard every hole. Pace slow (3 hours to play 9 holes).

We had a fee time at 2 h18 but finally started at 3 h. Supposed they had a frost in the morning….so we could not play all of it, but 14 holes. After that it was impossible to continue…the darkness appeared and it was the end of the game by 6 and a half. Just too bad, it was such a nice course !

This is a fun course that the average player will find a playable course, if you can avoid the plentiful bunkers.

I played this course because it had an 83% recommendation on GolfPass as worth playing. I would not agree with this high recommendation. Yes - the course is quite well maintained - greens, fairways, tee boxes, and bunkers but the course is on a flat / square piece of property in the middle of Phoenix. The fairways just go back and forth with bunkers and a few water ponds being the only challenges. One of the most negative aspects of this course is the constant street noise. Sorry - even though the the course is well maintained - I would not recommend playing this course very often.

We played GCU for our first round while in town for a couple of weeks. I liked the course layout and degree of difficulty. It helps to keep the pace of play moving along. I will play it again.

good value for the money, great food at clubhouse. Course was in great shape but practice range needs new mats.
