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.

How does this deserve a 4 rating...

Blind holes without info where to hit etc. Uninformed on construction on hole 2 where if you got left will end up in this site. The 200 yard par 3 on front nine with condos encroaching both sides of fairway should be 165 yards at most. All these condos are in the line of fire for slices and hooks of the tee. Saw Marshal on hole 3 and never again. Caught up with 4some on 9 who played slowly. They weren't PGA players but played slow like them. Greens speeds were inconsistent at best. Tee boxes were bit scrappy. This course is not worth it's rate so play somewhere else plus the ar 4s that were cart path only made no sense as they were firm. Beverage cart came by lots but the price of $10 beer is horrendous when I can by 12 pack for $15. What a joke.

Super fun

Great, challenging course. Beautiful layout, and epic view at 18 overlooking the whole valley.

Targeting super important on this one, very few driver opportunities for long drivers. Fairways and greens in excellent condition. By myself, 6am tee. Played through a couple groups, finished round in under 3 hours. Will definitely play again.

Golf is Great, Food caused illness

I have been playing at the AZ Grand for years, and enjoy the course and staff. I was treating a customer out, and we had lunch after the round. I actually became deathly ill from the lunch I had, and will be reaching out to them directly to address this.

Thinker’s Course

Keep your driver in the bag on most holes. Lots of lay-ups and dog legs even from the back tees. Greens are good.

Really nice staff!

Loved it!

This is such a fun course. The front and back nines are so different, but both nines have their challenges and require some thought. I love sharing Arizona Grand with friends who have never played it, and everyone loves it!

This course has a variety of interesting holes.

We had fun and the course was in pretty good condition. Greens are on the small side and some fairways are generous. Back nine is pretty much desert target golf. Beer at $10 per beer was a little expensive. Overall we had a good time with good friends.

Horrible Condition Golf Course

I never post negative reviews but this course deserves the worst rating ever. It is apparent that they do not spend very much money on upkeep for the course. My son and I were so disappointed to play the Arizona Grand. We will not be going back.

It's a Grand Course

The Arizona Grand is one of my favorite courses, because of the challenging holes. The restrooms are clean on the course and the flag placements are always a surprise.

Mislead

We were mislead from the first hole not giving us a heads up about the blind pond straight off of the tee. No descriptions of the w holes. Many blind tee shots with large slanted grades toward the water.
