Grand Canyon University Golf Course

Lots of sand, sand is heavy greens mostly elevated, greens and apron over seeded but not grown

Every year a group of friends come down to play for a week and we hit GCU for a round. We absolutely love the bunkers! The only issue we had was there was zero sand/seed anywhere to fix divots. Empty in the carts and nothing on the tee boxes. Taylor the cart girl definitely keeps you hydrated on the course and we’ll definitely be back next year to see her

Heavily bunkered with next to zero sand in bunkers makes it a tough slog and impossible to score.

Always enjoy playing GCU course. I believe it's the best value for your money around Phoenix. Althouth they had 18 tough pins( greens keeper had a bone to contend) the course played fairly and had all the maintenance up to date. OVERSEED HAS TAKEN WELL and the greens putted well.

Not worth $80 a round as course was average. Neighborhood not nice.

We had a fun time playing the course and the employees were very nice.

Because this is like a “city” course, the pace of play was brutal. Bunkers were wild, strategically placed and deep.

Very impressed with staff both outside and inside. Good layout and greens were pure. Overall excellent value.

Wish they told us they sanded the greens but they still rolled fast…Not sure why only some of the fairways looked liked they were over-seeded.. but I always make a point to play this course when I’m in town.. still a great course..

Grand Canyon University lies on similar land to Encanto, but is longer and more difficult. Both courses are not particularly interesting, and in my mind GCU is way overpriced. I play Aguila (another city course) most of the time, and it is far better for half the price.

Very good condition and the staff were very accommodating. Bit of a drive from North Scottsdale but the price of golf in Scottsdale has become ridiculous. Courses that used to be $50-$60 3 years ago are now over$100 and they’re definitely not worth that.

Pick the correct tees. Hard to lose a ball, many holes seem to repeat but still interesting due to bunker placement. Could use more sand in some of the bunkers.

Challenging in the rough and lots of sand traps. Good value.
