Arizona Grand Resort

Fairways are in terrible condition but the Greens are in great shape!

First time reviewing but this course took that much out of me to get to this point. For $75 green fees I simply expected more. They mention there is a practice facility including a warm up area, shipping and putting green… that is just a batting cage net. When asked about the locker room use I was greeted with there wasn’t one and I would need to change in the lobby bathroom.

My round began 30 minutes behind schedule. The first hole you see in the photos with the golf carts is a blind shot uphill. You have no idea if the group in front has moved on other than to wait and guess, further prolonging the tee sheet.

I will tell you the first 9 holes are what I would do expect out of an executive 9 with the elevations and continued blind shots. Weird tee boxes, GIR not viable, unrealistic approaches. You will question every hole on the front on if you booked the right course.

It was so bad me and the other random partnered walked off after the non-existent turn (there is no turn). Every photo you see online with the scenic backdrops is of the back 9.

Didn’t ask for a refund, wasn’t worth my time to come back.

Played with a friend from NM, and his view was there were no markings on course. It was just trying to figure out where to go, after each hole. He was pretty frustrated as was I.

Had a great time playing this course. Lots of challenging holes. I will definitely be back

The staff here always tries to cram people into your tee time

- regardless if the group before or after you didn't book the same time slot as you. Also, they'll (the staff) flat-out lie to you and tell you that your tee time was 10 min ahead/delayed of the time you booked, just to cram you with another 1/2/3 people. If this helped with the pace of play I wouldn't mind, but I ended up playing a 5 hour round and the Marshall driving around never did a thing about all the slow play. The green on hole 1 is always in terrible condition; you'd think they figure it out after a season or two. The course is great value, but the people running the operation are terrible and make you never want to return.

Had a great day. Aced par 3 hole 12. Pace was very slow since course was packed due to closures of many surrounding courses due to overseeding. . All in all an enjoyable day.

Strangest course I’ve ever played. Blind shots, not many drivers hit, greens were hard and fast. Pace of play was poor. Recommend you don’t play this course without someone who knows the course. No halfway house and several roped off fairways. I won’t ever go back.

We arrived at 1:45 pm for a 2:20pm tee time. We started on time however we instantly saw the course and ALL the grass on the tee boxes, fairways and roughs were yellow and dead. We were told by the marshal on thr 4th hole that they were getting ready for “overseeding”. You can not overseed completely dead grass. The pace of play slowed down to a standstill waiting up to 10 minutes on the tee box due to a backup of golfers. We then found out there was a tournament being held before us at 1pm. We were not notified of this prior to teeing off. The best part was that we could only play 12 holes as the course had a policy of shutting down at 6pm. Great value! We paid full price and not a Twilight price.

I have golfed at the AZ Grand at least 25 times. Never again. Avoid playing here at all costs.

Golf now should refund our money.

Course layout is interesting. The practice facilities are minimal. I didn't down rate the course since it was going into over seed. The practice green was not in good shape. The greens on the course were fine

I’ve golfed here a few times and genuinely never left happy. The course layout is “wonky” is the best way I can describe it. Course conditions are almost always terrible. Oddly enough, they were preparing for overseed and it was some of the better conditions I’ve seen there. I booked a 3:00 tee time for 18 holes and staff pushed my tee time back to 3:30. However, the course closes at 6, which would’ve been great info to know beforehand. Nowhere on GolfNow or their website did it say their course closes at 6. A ranger came around and corralled everyone around 5:45 to literally follow us all back to club house like children. There had to be atleast 28 golfers who paid for 18 holes and didn’t get to finish due to the course closure time no one was aware of. They shouldn’t even allow you to book 18 holes past 2pm knowing darn well no one will finish in that time. Pace of play here is typically 5 hours or more. Never going back after the way the staff handled the situation.

The course was in average condition as overseeding is taking place in Arizona. However, it was a fun course with some nice blind shot holes.

About the 15th time I’ve played this course, and it’s always a good time. The one thing that I can’t figure out is why in the world would you have cart path only on almost half the holes when overseed starts in a couple days? Front nine took just over 2 hours, but the back nine took closer to 3 hours! Saw a ranger once in almost 5 hours and he was kinda rude. It seemed like he was more interested in flirting with the cart girl.

Wait until the over seeding is complete and the course greens up. It is currently brown and extremely dry.
