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.

Grand Course it is!

The property is spectacular! We played on a Monday morning after a weekend storm so we had the course to ourselves and played in 3 hours.

Great layout from the tips but manageable at 6200ish yards.

Great staff too!

Challenging but Fun

Course was a good challenge. Greens and teeboxes weren't in the best shape to start, but got better throughout the course. Challenging and fun that you can't just use driver every hole. Could be a bit cheaper but not terrible considering the price of other courses in Phoenix in March.

Nice course for the price

Exceeded expectations. Layout is a bit quirky, but overall very fun and in good shape. Greens were solid. We were paired up with 2 locals who helped immensely with understanding the layout. Great value and would definitely play again. Some really nice vistas.

Went back to try and play this course better. I got my butt kicked on the back nine again. The course could use some up to date technology to help make navigation much less of a challenge.

Fun play and great staff!

The only issue was pace of play. Greens are a little harder than usual but well maintained and a fun play

Challenging Golf Course

I have played this course several times and have had many great shots endiup in trouble. Course isn’t forgiving. On the second hole there is a blind shot right into ground under repair. Several greens were in bad shape. There are better courses for the amount you psy for this one.

An option when priced lower than the rest

The course layout is wonky. It’s also very short, playing shorter than the 6200 yards from the tips. There are some good holes, but also a lot of bad golf holes. For instance, there is a par 5 where most golfers need to lay up on their drive. There are at least 3 or 4 par 4 holes which a reachable from the tee. The course can be “fun”, just not very traditional.

Some blind holes at beginning

Binds up after 9 holes, need to make hole 13 and 14 easier for the beginner golfer because they are struggling on them and backing everyone else up.

The cashier in the golf shop was super customer service oriented!

Arizona Grand - nice tract next to South Mountain

Enjoyed the golf course, challenging shot placement needed though not long enough you need to hit it 300 yards off the tee. I was a single with foursomes in front and behind and expected to wait some because of that fact. Though the foursome in front of me waited on the tee box to hit on every hole. I would finish my hole and drive to the next and they were still waiting to hit. Not sure the reasoning though the ranger came back multiple times throughout the round though nothing changed. Really impacted my round
