A Tough Year

For the expense during summer play I expected better conditions, fairways had been severely impacted by the summer. Quite a bit of damage to the fairways, greens were better but not great

Not easy, but fun

The course was in pretty good shape for early September, with grass where it belonged, and sand in the bunkers. The raised tee boxes and elevated greens (many without steps, requiring a steep climb), combined with the heat, made for a good night’s sleep, but also a few added strokes from fatigue. The greens were a little fluffy and slow, but that may have been due to recent storms or the upcoming overawed. All of the staff were fantastic, but the lack of a range led to a couple of warm-up holes/shots. Overall, I’m glad we played here.

Always love this course

It was 40 percent humidity and 96 out so it was just brutal. The course condition was ok for time of year. They could use updated golf carts with coolers in them for sure. Overall a great course

Beautiful course

Loved the layout on this course. There was a lot of water but it was not overly punitive or unfair, instead it added to the scenery.

Each hole was unique and fun, you can find trouble if you are swinging wild but you can also avoid it with a little planning.

I will be playing this one again!

Don't accept the negative reviews for this course, find out for yourself

Played Arizona Grand Golf course last week and was pleasently surprised of the conditions of the course due to the long hot summer and the negative comments of recent reviews. I found the fairways and greens to be a little long but attributed that to the maintenance crew trying to keep from burning up the course (>100 degrees at 10 am). Although shown to be a 'short' course, very difficult with the blind shots and slope of the fairways and approaches. It was a fun course and worth the price. We were finished in less than 4 hours. All the staff was courteous and helpful and I will be back to try to beat the course once it cools down a little.

Not the best course. A lot of courses in the valley for the same price that is better. Like legacy & taking stick. Last hole is nice though

Always a good course

You can always rely on AZ Grand to be in good condition. They finally changed the par 3 2nd back to a par 4. Price is still good this time of year. Course layout never disappoints, it’s like 3 courses in 1.
