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 course

Great course to play with some holes being a certain style that you don’t necessarily play a lot elsewhere around here.

I would play again. Great condition for mid July.

Saturday morning

I thought we were first off, we were 2nd. We play very fast (3:15ish) so I'm not really an issue with a 4 hour round. I know, I'm picky. Aside from 1st hole green and 2nd hole under repair, the rest of the course was in great shape and the staff, as I become accustomed too was very nice and professional. Nice treat. Love the back 9 especially.

Great course undergoing some maintenance

Booked last minute 3:10pm tee time on GN for $36. Pace of play was awesome (Most no one is going to want to play in 112 heat). Course is undergoing maintenance so hole #2 has been changed from a Par 4 to a Par 3. The course does have many dry spots, which allowed for some terrible lies, but overall expected within the AZ heat.

Part golf part weird

If you’ve never played this course you should probably check it out once. It’s a hard place to take serious. Some very strange holes that don’t really seem like golf holes like #3 and some amazing views like #18. A good place to take someone that’s not from here. Not a great place for a serious round but still some wacky fun!

Phantom Horse

We played on a Thursday morning and we cruised through in a little over 3 hrs. They had some construction on hole 2, not a big deal for $40 that we paid. The course was in pretty decent shape.

Worth The Trip

Driving down from Surprise my anticipation was building as I heard so many great things about this course. Great layout especially on the back nine. Long Oar 5’s, undulating fairways and pretty decent greens for a July. The price was great, the round fun and the course pleasantly in good shape. Water coolers on every third hole, Marshall’s keeping the pace of play moving. Definitely a must course to okay!

Warmup area is awful. Very short course, but fair. Conditions were not bad but pace of play was horrendous. I’m no PGA professional but the level of play here was really bad.

Maybe think twice

Terrible golf layout. Ball above or below your feet most of the time, blind shots almost every hole. I would skip this course, even if it was free. Who designed this??
