Greens were really spotty with inconsistent grass. Making it more difficult were the pin placements. Greens were cut so short and were dry balls would not hold.

Tee boxes were okay but fairways were cut short and were hard so wedges into the green was like hitting off a waste area.

For a busy Friday, surprised there was only 1 beverage cart operating. It came around on 2 and 15, and due to the layout of the course, there are no amenities at the turn. So, if you didn't stock up you are out of luck for refreshments.

Pace of play, was almost 5 hours. Waited on every hole starting on 3. Marshall drove past a few times, but pace did not speed up.

Now, with all of that said the course has some really nice holes nestled into the community it surrounds, and it provides some great views.

I'm not sure I will be in a rush you go back anytime soon.

Great course. Very different from most in the valley. Kind of a risk/reward course. Some short par 4s & 5s you can go for but with a lot of risk. Good conditions. The greens were kind of ugly but we’re fine for the most part.

Negatives: Greenskeepers need some practice replacing the holes. There is no practice range & the new carts are very annoying. Seemed like every time I drove in the rough, it beeped at me and then made me reverse back into the fairway.

Resort golf

Not very traditional. Gimmicky holes. Probably could play without a driver. Some very scenic holes. Course is in average condition at best. Changing island green to a tee box was a definite downgrade to the course. Once is enough.

Arizona Grand

A beautiful course with interesting challenges with the water. There was one hole that had 3 tiers elevations to get the green. A nice and challenging touch.

First time playing

I wanted to be able to play a nearby course to where we were vacationing in the morning. There were certainly nicer courses close by but more expensive and afternoon teetimes. The reviews of this course I read were varied, but mostly positive. My first impressions of this resort and course were that it was going to be extremely nice. After playing, I would share that the overall feel was that it is a nice resort but a mediocre golf course. Most of the bunkers needed significant improvement and were extremely shallow. The course was indeed challenging, however, and I wasn’t in the greatest golfers shape. One of the highlights was the GPS variability throughout the entire 18 holes of each golf cart. Greens could use some extra manicuring. Also, the driving range is not a range but only a net some 500 yards from hole #1. The chipping area is nowhere near the “net” and the pitting green is small but only feet away from #1 tee box. Staff was phenomenal and this made it enjoyable enough to return (someday). Most of all, it enjoyed the day paying and playing with m son and uncle. (I hope this is helpful)

Great morning at Arizona Grand

Great service, challenging course. Putting greens were a little wonky especially on the first few holes. Beautiful area with some interesting views and terrain. I would come back.

What Happened?

It appears as though AZ Grand no longer cares about the quality or care of the golf course. For this time of year, it should be in excellent condition. Instead, it already looks like mid-June quality. AZ Grand raised the prices for everything, but forgot to raise the quality along with those greedy changes. This course is no longer worth the time or money. Sad.
