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.

Great Staff…Inconsiderate Golfers

Great beginning experience with bag drop and having our bags ready in the cart.

Big hit was in pace of play. Tee time 2:50 with carts in by 6:10. Went in knowing we only had 3 hours and 20 mins to play and thought we’d at least get in 14-15 holes. By hole 7 it was evident that the selfishness of multiple groups ahead of us would not allow for it.

There were multiple groups playing with more than 4 golfers, and not just 1 or 2 more. There were multiple 8-9 person groups in addition to 5 player groups. There was no Marshall on course. To regulate and we only got to play 12 holes. We pushed it to 6:00 to leave 10 mins to get carts in so in 3:10 mins we only got 12 in.

Clubhouse offered no relief when we returned and complained since management has already left. I would play here again, but leave extra time for unruly golfers.

Horrible greens

The greens are in terrible condition with burn spots and The Fringe is horrible with weeded grass not cut very hard to get a true putt due to conditions..

Could not finish last three holes, was told to leave with plenty of time left to finish the last holes because carts had to be in by 6:00pm.

Different, quirky, difficult

Lots of elevation changes, not huge but plentiful and they get your attention. Lots of stance issues.

If you spray the ball around, it could be a long day. Conditions were pretty decent, staff was very accommodating. Bar was comfortable and quick.

Debris

I realize this course is surrounded by the public but it seems that abit of effort to deal with the debris that is scattered by inconsiderate asshokes makes the surrounding common areas look more cosmeticly appealing.

How Grand it is

Staff great. Course was in very good conditions EXCEPT the bunkers. They were wet dirt. No practice range unless u wanna hit your own balls in a batting cage a half mile up the hill. Putting green was crap. No coolers but they give u a steel bucket of ice. Cart girls were around a lot and attractive. Always a plus to get your game goin! Other than that it’s a challenging course. I definitely recommend it.

The back 9 feel like a different course.

The first T box is pretty spectacular from the island uphill surrounded by all the resort rooms. It’ definitely has a stadium feel. The greens were not in great conditions but that can be expected with as many days over 100° as this course gets. The back 9 in the desert has a very different feel than the front and is very challenging to hit over washes. Each is unique and fun to play. I will definitely play it again.

Steep Hills - Cart Path Only

I love this course with many unique holes, but I took my 76 year old father and almost the entire course was roped off for cart path only access. There are a lot of steep hills and this made it extremely difficult for my dad. He ended up playing only half the holes. This warning should be posted when booking for people who can't walk up and down steep slopes.

A great Day

I was a single with a 3 some using a Hot special. I got there almost an hour early and the course was fairly empty. They let me go on as a single. I played fast, but enjoyed my time very much. Passed a few 2somes, which I appreciated. The only negative is the price of the drinks on the course. $10 for a jack and coke is really pricey. Highly recommend for course quality and layout and service.
