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.

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.

Arizona Grand

This was the first time I had played this course since it was Phantom Horse, so it was fun seeing the new layout. But it was also great to see the familiar holes. This course is quite challenging in places, but is also very fair in others. I only think hole 17 was unnecessarily brutal because of the pin placement the day I went, otherwise it was a very pleasant experience. I just wish it was a bit less to play, but that’s Arizona winter golf.

Great Layout and Very Challenging!

Wouldn’t pay full rack rate for this course. Fairways and greens were a little sparse in places. Ball runs a mile. Greens were really fast. Pace of play was really slow. (Over 4 1/2 hours)

Very challenging course with different undulations!!

Would play again for a Hot Deal!

Do not play twilight

We booked a twilight round which said on the website "sunset" was closing time. The marshal said it was 5:15pm. I told him all three websites i looked up said sunset was 5:30. He ignored me. He met us at the 10th hole at 5:10 before we could tee off and said we were done. I told him there was still enough light for us to get 2 more holes in and he declined. As we headed in, there were at least 3 other groups that were playing still and he didn't nearly harass them as much as he did us likely because they were in their 50's. This is the second time this has happened and the last time I'll be playing there.
