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
Fun course
Course is in good condition, challenging and fun layout with being overly difficult. Staff was great, helpful and fun. We played in 4.5 hours, not terrible for a weekend morning. I enjoyed the round and will definitely play here again.
Great course
Very nice golf course. Tough greens and lots of bunkers make it a challenging place to play. I would not hesitate to come back. Very nice and helpful staff.
Exactly what we paid for
Paid $75 each for myself and 3 sons, staff was great, pace of play was a little slow for a couple holes, then picked up nicely. Played in exactly 4 hours. Fairways and greens were perfect, bunkers were pretty consistent, the rough was dormant and very playable. Pro-shop is packed with everything you’d ever need. Overall a great experience!
Deep bunkers
Very fun course and the bunkers will really test you but really enjoyed it
Waiting on every shot .
The course was wide open a couple of rough spots in the fairways.. But waited on every shot not just a couple every one.. pace of play sucked .. will not ever go back.
Good not great
Staff all around was fantastic and very nice. Course was in good shape tee boxes where really good greens for the most part where in good shape as well some of the fair ways where aaaa. Over all I enjoyed it and would play again
Used to much better
Typically the course is in great shape. It appeared the fairways hadn’t been cut in a week. The chipping areas around the greens were not overseeded and makes it really difficult. Usually things are much better. The greens were still pretty good but also not as solid as they have previously been.
Nice course and affordable
Good challenging track. Fairways and greens were very well groomed, Bunkers were decent sand quality. Rough was the only negative--wet with very little grass to hit off of. But for $85 it was a nice round with good pace of play
Dr. Freiheits GCU course review
I had an excellent time playing golf with this fine, newly revamped old course in West Phoenix. The staff was awesome, professional and attentive to the few questions I had . The greens were perfect for putting on the course. It's incredible to imagine there's such a wonderful course in the Phoenix city confines. Aside from the 1st hole down Indian school road, you are lost then amongst the great old grand trees that have been there for decades and the fairways that are tucked away from site of the busy city. Arriving at the course is easy as the course is accessable off the 202 or I 10 freeways. Thank you.
Looks are deceiving
Crazy fast greens and protected by bunkers. Good luck!
Decent Course
First time I’ve played the course and I thought it was a nice public course. Good layout but the maintenance of the fairways was somewhat disappointing. Long grass on fairways and somewhat over watered. Greens we’re okay and a little on the slow side for me. I’d play it again though so overall a 4 out of 5 rating.
