Arizona Grand Resort

so I’ve been in Arizona training for three weeks. I played four courses up until now. All had amazing amenities courses were exactly as described in the review but this course was not. No true practice facility driving range was a T box with a net around it which was OK but I think because everything else was so poor it took away from the experience. The fairways rough the boxes are all burn up. It is not being maintained very well at all this course doesn’t even compare to the goat tracks back home. The reviews were not honest and it truly was a disappointment to play!

Super fun course in good condition for summer a great challenge greens were pure had a ton of fun. My only thing I would say was would be a downside is the driving range is basically in a baseball hitting cage.

The scenery was beautiful. Amazing views of south mountain and the valley. Course was relatively short and tight. Never pulled out driver. Course condition was mediocre.

Played this course for the first time. Overall course and greens were in good shape and its a scenic layout. Some holes being really close to residences. Starter was friendly and I got out 1/2 hr early. I was told unless you’re a 5 hdcp or lower (im about 14) probably best to play the blues instead of the tips (black) and leave the driver in the bag. After the first 2 holes I was waiting for the group in front so decided to tee from the tips and did so the rest of the day. I had no issues keeping my drives in the fairway and there was only one short par 4 that I needed to use an Iron instead. As stated there are some blind shots throughout so you have to be sure to give group in front time to clear out. The only thing odd was that hole 9 doesn’t bring you to a traditional “turn” by the clubhouse. No snack shack, nothing, just the #10 tee box. Beverage cart came by several times during the round however. Good experience, I will be back.

Beautiful views, amazing and well kept fairways and greens. Every hole has its unique challenges

Started out bad, ended bad. To start, our tee time was delayed 25mins. Started says “must be some slow play today.” Course is in pretty bad shape all around, absolutely insane charging over $100 for this. Tee boxes were hard to find patches of grass on par 3s especially, but there were a few others that were damaged or lumpy. Lots of dead grass all over, patches of fairways that were hard sand, and bunkers were mainly unmaintained. Greens were lumpy and inconsistent rolls. Marshall’s talked to us twice during the round about a group a few groups ahead of us were playing slow and had been “warned multiple times but we think THIS time is gonna get them to speed up for their last couple holes.” Five hours later I was done and will not return to this course

I’ve played this course more times than I can count, but I’ve never experienced worst conditions than I did on this outing. Our tee time was 1:50 pm. Staff is always good. Pace was great. Never caught up to anyone; no one pushing us… and that is where the positives end.

Tee boxes: even if you could find a relatively even spot, good luck trying to hammer your tee into what feels like bedrock.

Fairways: dry and hard—like landing my ball in a parking lot.

Greens: would be the only redeeming feature if it wasn’t for the animals playing earlier in the day that can’t fix their ball marks.

Staff was friendly and the course layout was great. This is definitely a course where you need to keep it straight or you’ll spend a lot of time playing out of the desert.

That said, the price didn’t match the condition of the course. Many fairways had large patches of dead grass, and the last hole had turf where tees couldn’t even be used. We also had to switch carts because the battery was dying.

The most frustrating part was an interaction with the ranger. He came out and told us to turn around because “the tournament goes the other way.” We weren’t part of the tournament, and it would’ve made more sense to ask before assuming. Overall, there were several issues you wouldn’t expect from such an expensive course.

For the most part , the course is still in good shape , with a few fairways and greens being a little rough . Staff was ok not exceptional for a resort course . I arrived and no one to greet us or take our bags . When I did see , what I assumed was the starter , he never said hi or good morning . All he asked was my tee time and he had that wrong .

Otherwise , I would play this course again.

Haven’t played this course in a while and will not play again. Turf was bad with many dry dirt areas.

Golf course was near empty. Pace of play was great...Finished in 3.25 hours.

Greens were quick and lacking grass. Lot's of bare areas on the greens. Fairways were plush but once of the fairway, grass was hard to find.

Outside services staff was extremely friendly while the pro shop staff left a little to be desired. Overall, I guess I would recommend this course to the part-time golfer. Advance handicap golfers will get bored.

Nice course, like playing two different courses. Front nine more open and back nine target golf with mountain views.

Arizona Grand is our favourite course! We played this course last April (2025), and at that time we were disappointed with the poor course conditions. We decided to try it again this year and I am very happy we did! The course this year is in almost perfect condition. The only issue is the forward (red) tee boxes; many were humped in the center, making it difficult/impossible for my wife to find a flat tee-off spot. This was our last game before returning home to Toronto, but we will be back next year.

This course is amazing, a little challenging if you can’t hit the long ball. Lots of hills and water.

Had a great time and almost pared the back nine.

I play The Grand about 40 times a year and they have added these new fences that make it hard to get out on the course where you need too!
