Grand Canyon University Golf Course

What a slow front nine (over 2.5 hours). No Marshall (that we saw) giving golfers advice on how to speed up play. For ex. Two guys and two gals in front of us. Guys were long hitters who kept waiting for the green to clear. The gals could have teed off while the guys were waiting. The gals quit after 9 and the round picked up, but still slow. Anyway, the greens were awesome! They rolled so true and fast!! Fairways were super green! My only knock on the course conditions is that this course gets so much traffic that you are bound to land on a divot. I landed in at least 4 today. Sucks to hit it straight and get rewarded with a nice ball in a divot. Always a great playing here!

The course was in good shape, but the best part was the cart girl Shakoda! She was friendly and helpful all day! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

The course layout is flat but interesting, Great walking course. Fairways, bunkers and greens were in excellent condition. The only complaint I have about the course conditions is the rough. It’s all dormant hard pan. The pace of play was very slow, five hours.

20 handicap. First time playing GCU course. I read many reviews prior and I was aware of the plethora of sandtraps both fairway and around the greens, and this did hold true. However the traps had lots of sand and deep enough to play out of. Overall the staff were friendly. The driving range was well maintained. I played from the white tees. Overall I would say it was challenging but not impossible. I used all my clubs in the bag. Club selection off the tee is important due to all the fairway bunkers. Pace of play was good, only had to wait at a couple tee boxes for one group. Finished in 4 hours on Tuesday morning. For the price in February in Phoenix, it’s difficult to find a better value.

My last day in the Phoenix area before heading home. Wanted to play something new. The Grand Canyon State golf course was nice. No long wait. Pace of play was nice. Long course from the black tees. Challenging. Greens were pure and FAST. I would definitely play again.

This is s terrible golf course with okay tees and good greens

This is not a Phoenix desert course. And that is just fine for your golf trip 4some when you and your buddies haven’t played for months. This was our first round of the trip running to the course from the airport. Open layout alllows you to find your swing for the trip without being very penal on the scorecard. Layout was nice, greens rolled true, pace was great and price was right. Highly recommend when you need a confidence boost after getting crushed on a tougher desert course or as I said a first round on a golf trip to get you going.

The person on the beverage cart was over the top very friendly and accommodating

A good day ruined by the pace o play. 5 plus hours is not my idea of a fun day on the course.

Excellent shape. Well bunkered with nice greens. The scenery may not be stunning but if you want to play a nice track without tapping the bank GCU deserves a trip
