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 - People over burdened?

I've played this course dozens of times It is a great, fun, challenging and scenic course. Yesterday if was in great shape (kudos to the maintenance staff).

I always wait for a "hot deal" on GolfNow to reserve a round as I live on social security and it can get pricey during the winter. But this time I had my son and his friend in from Maine/Boston and wanted to have an enjoyable round with them and chose AZ Grand.

It must have been a bad day for the staff as they were aloof, indifferent, and uncaring about my situation. There ware no concessions as we had to wait past our reservation time (even though we were there 2 hours early) and had to accept a single fourth even though I had expressly requested a 3 some family affair.

The beverage cart girls were fantastic and everything else was fine (except for a very dirty bathroom on the course).

Disappointed

No Marshall and pace of play was terrible! I could not finish the round that I could easily finish at any other course. They required the carts in well before sunset and I still had 3 holes to play. Didn’t help that I started 14 minutes after my tee time. Poorly managed course that is interested in pushing players out to make money more than the golf experience. Shame

No value for money

First no attendants at club drop off which is 200 yards from pro shop. Not enough quest parking for people looking to play golf. Breakfast sandwich $25 not worth the value. Need better signage for hole to hole. Too many cart path only on many holes. Had to call pro shop for ranger who never arrived. 3 groups on number 6 tee box which lead to slow play. Overall disappointing day

Avoid

No reasonable pace of play and a lack of professionalism from the pro shop staff. I am a PGA Professional and would not allow my course to operate like this. Customers deserve respect for the amount of the green fees charged.

Arizona Grand

Challenging course, lots of elevation change, sloping fairways, mounds and bunkers. No. 14 has massive bunkers tiered before the green which is about 60 ft. Higher than fairway. If you go in the bunkers….abandon all hope ye wretched souls who enter there!

Tale of two nines

The course was in good shape, greens were

Fast. There is no range. They have a net and a small putting surface. Come ready to play. Front was a resort style and back was a desert course. Some holes were challenging and was fun to play. Expensive for the day. The starter Michael was awesome and explained the layout and was very friendly.

Great track

Absolutely love playing at Arizona Grand Golf Course. The greens are some of the best I’ve seen consistently smooth, fast, and true. You can really trust your lines, which makes a huge difference in your confidence when putting.

The course overall is in great shape, but the greens are what really stand out. They’re well-maintained, roll perfectly, and hold up even during busy days.

If you’re someone who appreciates quality putting surfaces, this place is definitely worth playing.

WOW! Just WOW!

The AZ Grand is better than ever! I stopped playing there a few years back because there just wasn’t enough bang for the buck. I’m upset I waited so long to come back! The course is in AMAZING condition! The staff from front desk to cart personnel, AWESOME! The food after the round, DELICIOUS! There’s not a single negative thing to say about the day except we didn’t play 36! I will be back for sure! If you haven’t been there in a while, go back! It’s a lot better! If you’ve never been, go. You’ll love it!

Well worth it!

One of my absolute favorite places to play not only because of the way that it changes both desert in Parkland style golf, but because it has the best view of any golf course on number 18!
