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.

Mediocre at best

Pace was horrible. Had to leave on the 16 hole because we had another tee time.

Great Day and Place to Play Golf

From the first majestic hole 1 rising about 75-100 feet to a blind pin followed by a similar layout on hole 2 the course is fun and the grounds are in very good shape.

First time playing this course

The course layout was very challenging. Beautiful course. They must have just finished over seeding because it was cart path only. The greens were very slow. The staff was very good.

Take my advice: don't play here.

Go play mini golf instead. You can't putt on these greens.

Greens were very slow

Only played 9 holes. Greens were were slow and we were not allowed to drive carts onto fairways which slowed down pace of play, especially with a group of not so seasoned players in front of us. A ranger had to take us back to the clubhouse after nine holes, which was a long ride we would have had difficulty finding ourselves as it got dark

Bad Bad Bad

Woof. Bad experience from start to finish. We had a group of three and they forced a fourth guy into a cart with me who proceeded to shoot 150. I've never left a golf course so disappointed. They should advise that they are going to make you ride with a random person.

SINGLES BEWARE!! Worst starter in America.

Like others who have reviewed Arizona Grand, this is my first review on GolfNow. Simply put, it’s a bad golf course. But that wouldn’t have bothered me as I’m not very picky. When I showed up, the starter flagged me down heading to the first tee and said that I need to ride with someone who he paired with us. I said there is no warning on GolfNow about a shared cart. He proceeds to say he doesn’t control GolfNow and that “I have 220 golfers.” I told him that I don’t know what that means (and I still don’t). I asked if I could pay extra to have my own cart. “No but you can pay $10k to be a member.” He then lectured me on how it’s typical for country clubs to pair singles with carts. He should never use the word country club to describe this course. It’s a dog track. Greens are unputtable. The resort itself is nice and I give them credit for dressing up the first hole to make it seem like a nice course. It’s not. Go play Starfire, Silverado, Orange Tree Enncado18 orMcCormick Ranch. Avoid at all costs!

The course is nice - the staff is not

After being subjected to the rude starter a couple of times, I swore to never play Arizona Grand again. But it's a fun course. I really like the layout. On this particular day, the course staff rushed everyone off the course at dusk, including one group that was in the fairway. The staff didn't let them finish the hole.
