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
Greens are awesome!
This is one of my favorite courses in the valley! The course is in transition right now, so the fairways are a little rough, but the greens are always pure. I am excited to come back once the summer grass comes in. The staff always makes sure my guests and I feel welcomed. 10/10 would recommend.
Great Greens!
The greens rolled great and the staff was very friendly. The fairways are a bit rough as they are transitioning to summer grass. I will be back!
Horrible
Some fairways are burnt out. Where there is no grass it's sand or dirt. The greens were the only good thing about this course. Still no water jugs on the course. If that's the case atleast they could do is throw a bottle of water in the cooler for us. Played Sterling Grove the day prior and had 6 bottles of water in the cooler.
Pace of play was slow. Waited on every tee box.
Absolutely horrible will never play there again! Fix your "Championship" course.
GCU golf course was not in good shape
I've been waiting to play here. I won't be back. Paid a bunch for spotty fairways and a soggy golf course.
Greens were in good shape and rolled fairly well thou. But playing off dirt patches wasn't very fun.
GCU
I was able to get on on a hot deal so I only paid $20 which is a good thing. Course is in tough shape right now. I understand that they’re transitioning from Bermuda to rye or rye to Bermuda not sure.. I really think courses should shut down for a couple of weeks when they’re doing this obviously financially they might not be able to afford it but the playing conditions are just not very good during this time.
Course not up to expectations
The fairways were not in good shape. Lots of places where there was no grass.
Greens were good and fast.
There was no ranger and the pace was horribly slow.
There were no bathrooms on the course. Really?
I felt I paid more than I should have for the condition the course was in.
GCU 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
Ok to play
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.
Fun layout
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
One of the Best in the Valley
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.
