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.

Not great and not bad...

5some in front of my group... Greens not like they could be. You or your cart will be watered from the sprinkler system. Twice I parked the cart to walk to the green and putt and the sprinkler system sprayed into my cart and bag. Course has a lot of potential thought.

Hit it straight

If you don’t find the fairway, good luck finding your ball. The rough is deep. Otherwise the course is great!!

Won’t return

Thought it be better after all the great reviews but there were no bathrooms on the course, most of the water was gone in the coolers, the course had no directions as to where the holes were from the tee. The course was in good shape for Phoenix summers but I’ve played better.

Great Course Conditions

The course was in great condition despite the heat. Very few burn spots and soft, green fairways. The greens were smooth. Overall it was in a lot better condition than I expected for mid July.

Excellent summer greens

Best greens in the valley. Camelback comes close, but GCU takes the gold on green conditions.
