The Arizona Grand Resort (formerly known as Phantom Horse Golf Club) boasts a challenging golf course, blending desert target golf with traditional links, playing par-71 over 6,336 yards, and a 7,000-square-foot practice green with a bunker and chipping area for a pre-round tune-up.

After a round at Arizona Grand Resort, head to an onsite drinking or dining spot: there's Mexican food, and then there's Southwestern dancing, and then there's a sports bar so you can catch up with someone else's game indoors or outdoors on the patio.

If You Want a Goat Track Gimmicky Course You'll Love It!

Wow...what a horrible experience. This is my first review EVER, of literally anything. I went with a friend to the Arizona Grand course and I have played many poor condition Munis but this was on an entirely different level. Played extremely difficult because the fairways roll like fast greens and have inexplicable slopes everywhere and the greens roll like a frozen lake. I'm not sure the greens were even really grass? was completely dead, hasn't been watered in ages, and totally ridiculous green complexes. I am an 8 handicap and a course like that played more like a 15 handicap for me because NOTHING holds the green and some holes are attempting to simulate Bethpage black or something with these absurd 50-foot hills, hills that take you ball 40 yards from the green after you hit a perfect wedge that landed 8 feet from the hole on an UPHILL slope. If you enjoy hitting 300 yd bombs right down the middle that disappear when you drive up because the fairway ends up sloping at 20 degree angle with rock hard, dry, short grass into a lake, then you will love this course!!! Enjoy out there guys! Just make sure you get paid before going out, because even playing for free wouldn't be worth it.

Challenging

Hit it straight, or you will struggle. Conditions are ok, not great. The course was not crowded (probably because it is priced a bit high), but still took 4.5 hrs due to difficulty, especially on the back nine. Biggest complaint was being charged $20 for 2 beers from the beverage cart. That is greed, and I won’t fall for that again.

Greens Were Poor

The staff was friendly, but the course was in poor shape. The overseed must not have taken very well as there were many areas with dirt and no grass. The greens were especially poor. It was hard to tell where there was grass and where the dirt was simply painted green, causing the speed of the greens to vary significantly from hole to hole. Overall, I won't play the course again until the grass is in better shape.

Painted greens

Greens were rough, painted over. Course should have been better for what they were charging. Hoping they get the course in shape, or lower the rates.

AVOID THIS COURSE

Complete s&^% show. I spoke with management to secure a replay rate as I was booking the tee times for a 7-day golf vacation for 12 guys. When I got there, the golf "manager" AJ refused to speak with me and her staff charged my whole group without a replay rate.

Then they put a 7-some in front of us and the rangers said they had a agreement with management to do so! So they honor some arrangements but not others and their rangers are useless. What is the point of having rangers if you allow a 7-some?!

A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The boys are Wisconsinites too. They would've gladly paid the $75 (with tip) per 6-pack for years to come if we were treated right.

The ground was not in good shape either for a January. Trash course. Trash staff... never again!

az grand

It was a good track, greens were quick and true. There were several holes that had cart restrictions, and you had to bring a few clubs to the ball. They need a bigger practice green area.

Great combo course but groundskeeper is rude

I really enjoyed the layout of this course. Resort golf for the front 9 and desert golf on the back 9. Challenging tee box positions and fast greens. Had an issue with the groundskeeper who would not stop mowing on Hole 7 while we clearly saw we were coming up to the green and there was a group waiting to tee behind us. My husband went ahead and hit and the groundskeeper went right where his ball landed and RAN IT OVER!! What a jerk! Coming back to cart return, we saw the same groundskeeper on Hole 1 also holding up the group trying to tee off and I told the cart staff. The response was "Yeah sometimes they just don't care" um if it is a known issue, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Would like a refund

We tried to cancel our tee time for a number of reasons and were told that we'd be charged full price regardless. The course was packed and pace of play was very slow. We played for over 4 hours and barely made it through 12 holes before having to leave to make a flight.

Little bit of everything

Really enjoyed this track. Course map begins in the heart of a condo arena, takes you up into the desert foothills for several holes, and ends with a spectacular panoramic view of phoenix area. Thoroughly enjoyed the design.

Do not book this!!!!

I don't normally do this but do not book this course. By far the worst course we've ever played. Worst $150 ever spent. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were green dust and pace was horrible. Recommend 20 $50 courses much better than this.
