Rating 74.3
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.

I Recommend This Course
DR
Course in good condition. What makes it a challenge is the bunkering. Many and deep around greens though bunker maintenance is poor.
On balance a great $$ deal and a nice layout. Of course a it noisy in the city but ....whatever!!!

Always A Great Value
Grand Canyon is one of my favorite courses in the valley and I recommend it to every visitor! It’s very playable for every playing level but extremely challenging for the better player! The fees make this is one of the greatest values in the valley!

The course has very nice greens protected by many sand traps. With heavy play the 18 oles took 5.25 hours. Enough said.
