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.

The Arizona Grand Resort also offers several packages, ranging from stay-and-play to family deals to getaways for women to romantic suite packages, complete with breakfast in bed.

Decent Course

Course was okay. Nothing great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Front 9 left a lot to be desired (that’s saying it nicely). On top of that the front 9 wasn’t in too great of shape. Back 9 was a 180. Really nice and quite enjoyable. I definitely wouldn’t go back, especially for the summer rate. You get a better value playing in the west valley during the summer. $26 burger was the nail in the coffin, after the round.

Overrated for the price

I know this place is a resort but the course needs to be in a lot better shape. Plus stop jamming the tee times up so you finish in under 5 hours

Could be an amazing course

Enjoyed my round at Arizona Grand yesterday even though it was 111 degrees. The course was in relatively good shape considering it is in transition from winter rye to summer burmuda. There were a couple of holes that are under construction, the second hole is being played as a par 3 rather than par 4 and tee box is in what is normally the fairway. Many of the holes have blind shots which make it especially challenging for a first time player. The greens were soft and held very well. They were also slow but pretty true. The staff was very friendly and the cart service was excellent. The beverage cart was around every 3-4 holes so we could remain hydrated. Overall, it was a good experience that I will play again when temperatures drop.

Horrible Experience

Pace of play was 5 1/2 to 6 hours, marshall said to be patient vs moving the slow groups. After playing 12 holes in 4 hours, I was over it.

Busy Course

First Tee Time is 5 am, any stays packed from there. Was real nervous about pace of play, but ended up fine and finished in 4:10. First three greens were real chewed up but others were better. Over all afun course as it winds through South Mountain.

Fun Course

Arizona Grand is a fun course. There are a lot of blind shots, dog legs and elevation changes throughout the course. A lot of desert and some water holes. The front 9 is like a resort course and the back 9 holes are through mountains and houses.The greens were recently punched but should be in good shape soon. There are some great holes and unique approach shots throughout the course. They provide a yardage book, which should be paid attention to on most holes. The staff were great, everyone was friendly and helpful!
