Grand Canyon University Golf Course

I love that it is a long course with several dogleg and many bunkers so you have to play smart. Unlike most desert courses, it has its fair share of tall trees as well. I would play again for sure.

Course is in great shape after fall overseeding.

Stop by restaurant for a great Pastrami Sandwich and a drink to close out a great golf day!

The course is flat, but the layout is interesting. I played the black tees, and it measured over 6700 yds. Most of the par 3's were long--like, 175-210 yards. There were many long par 4's (450+ yards), but a few were 330-380 yards, and those were the scoring holes. Par 5's were mostly manageable, in the mid 500 yards. Most of the greens are well protected by large bunkers. A few holes had water in play. I can tell that they just overseeded the fairways, so that was nice. The greens, however, had way too much sand in them. That was the worst part of the play.

All in all, an interesting course. I can't justify the green fee at $100 however. It really should be in the $70's.

Greens were slow and fairways were brown. Ok layout but not worth the time of playing under these conditions

The course was in great condition. The greens ran slow but overall very pleased

The course itself is just kind of ok. The greens were fabulous way better than expected.

The greens were pristine and rolled true.

Unfortunately the fairways had just been prepared for over seeding as I would have liked to have experienced the course as it was intended.

I did however benefit from the roll of the scraped surface LOL! The bunkers were cavernous and were the consistency of concrete. Staff and facilities were great. Will definitely come back when I return too the valley of the sun :)

Overall this course is really good and the staff is friendly. I'd definitely come back again

1st time here with a very good experience..The Staff was most pleasant and helpful.

Conditions on the course were very good and the greens were EXCELLENT, true roll and smooth surfaces.

Overall I would plan on playing here again when I return to Scottsdale.

Reasonably priced as well

Lost a lot of balls that were just off the fairway. The rough was super deep and swallowed the ball up. Impossible to hit out of. I think the course was set up for a college tournament.

Well managed and the staff was great from the time I showed up until I left

The course was in great shape (mostly). The grass areas were just about perfect. The only negative I had was the condition of the bunkers, the grooming of the bunkers definitely does not match the rest of the course. The layout is great and it has a great mixture of hard, medium and gettable holes.

Haven’t played here in a while. Besides the building to the right of the 9th tee being torn down, not much has changed. Course is in good condition, greens played well. Lots of sand and trees everywhere and I found most of them. The staff is ALWAYS extremely friendly.

Used to be called Maryvale and was pretty “used up” and low end. Since the university took over they’ve significantly upgraded the course - it’s much more fun to play, and in much better shape. But they seem to have added 4-5 extra bunkers per hole, so sand is a risk on almost every hole. This is one of my wife’s favourites now so we play it every time we’re in town.
