Grand Canyon University Golf Course

This was my first time playing this course. I thought the layout was very good and some holes quit challenging. The greens where nice and fast, however on this day they where doing some course maintenance to get the fairways in better condition.

The staff was friendly from the clubhouse, the starter and cart girl.

ENJOY YOUR ROUND

Course was not in great shape but I believe it was in a seasonal change over. Greens were very fast and hard to get an accurate read. But over all if it was in top condition I think it would be fun to play again. Price is a little high for the course but not drastic.

This was a non-stress, fun course. You do not have to worry about losing balls and you can grip it and rip it. The ball carries a mile and runs forever

I have been playing a lot of golf around the valley lately and was very pleased with the conditions, pace of play, and friendly staff at GCU Golf Course. The greens were in absolutely great shape and the fairways are transitioning over for summer play. I played a 4 hour round on a Saturday so no issues with pace, and the course had plenty of people working the carts or behind the counter to grab a drink. Overall one of my favorite courses to play any day of the week.

Greens are being punched and the there is water and mud everywhere. It would’ve been nice if someone would’ve given us a heads up.

Best greens I have played in AZ...Great course and pace of play was wonderful.

I have golfed here on many occasions. Even though GCU may not be the best golf course in the valley. It is diffidently one of the better ones in the Phoenix area. GCU has spent a lot of money to improve a course that was once a laughing stock in the area. GCU has done a great job at improving this course.

The course is usually in very good condition. Their sand bunkers are hard at times, and their greens are pretty fast. May golfers will walk the course, making the round pretty fast. I really can not complain about this place, but again! I'm not saying it's one of the best course in the valley.

Overall course was in solid consisting. Tees, fairways, sand, and greens all in proper condition. Rough was a bit out of place but format Bermuda so you get what you get. Some of the truest greens in the valley and bunkers are some of the most challenging anywhere in AZ. Solid course for the price.

They layout and prevailing wind require you work the ball both ways. Off the tee and on the approach. Favorable to big hitters with water hazards and outer boundaries being the only hazards off the tee. Greens roll out, but are receptive to well hit shots. Played here twice, had a great time, both times.

The pace of play can get a little slow. Be prepared to wait a bit on 8 and 13 tee. Both are par 3s over water and the 13th typically has two groups waiting at the tee when I finish 12.

Pros: large greens with challenging undulations. Walkable. No blind shots. Decent bunkers.

Cons: some fairways and most of the rough were not in great shape, but this may be due to time of year with Bermuda not kicking in its growth yet. There is not a GPS system in the carts. We waited on every shot, and finished the round in 4 1/2 hours.

For the price, there are much better courses in the area.
