Green conditions.

It would’ve been nice to know when I booked the tee time That’s The greens had just been aerated. They were very, very bumpy and hard to putt on. overall golf course, Fairways and tee boxes were not as good as should be expected on a course Of this caliber. I truly believe a voucher of some sort would be a good compensation as I would come back and play again.

Terrible

Course was in terrible condition. It is summer so understandable it’s not gonna be winter conditions but the course was dead. And charging $75 for this is criminal. On top of the guy who sends people out trying to rush. He yelled at our group on the tee and screamed gentleman trying to tell us to hit when the group in front of us was 200 yards away and still in the middle of the fairway. Trying to rush everyone out and almost getting us hit by balls on the first 2 holes bc of sending people out so close and with the first 2 holes being blind shots. This course needs to do better and take better care. If I could give 1 star I would. And the same guy demanding my tata to open his cooler and show him what’s inside of it. He had all water in it but still. They do this bc 4 drinks there costs $45. Absolutely a rip off. Save ur time and money and avoid.

Not as Grand as I thought…

Grass is a little sketchy. I know, AZ in the summer, but thought it would be better. Greens are extremely fast and hard to read.

I do like the lay out, and had fun…

What happened here!!

Wow! I know summers can be hard on courses, but I’ve played this one a lot in past summers. Big dry patches in the fairways and around the greens are awful. Now add water! Especially around the greens and you obviously end up with mud. They don’t extend the kindness of letting you know they aerated so we played on extremely rough greens, which should improve pretty soon. On top of that, the second hole is still under repair and is a pat three and has been for at least a year. All that being said $80 in the summertime is too much for what they’re giving you here.

Worst golf course in the Valley

Made the mistake of booking a tee time at Arizona Grand this morning. I had the feeling it might be in a questionable condition, the condition wasn't bad it was HORRIBLE!! This is the worst-conditioned course I have ever played in Arizona. I probably wouldn't have posted anything, if the staff had cared a little. Went into the pro shop and all I got was "It's not in the best condition". The staff over there couldn't care less that there were unhappy golfers. #neveragain #arizonagrandresort

Great Track in Terrible Condition

Great course layout and definitely a target golf course. The course is in the worst condition I have ever seen it in and I have played it for over 10 years. Tee boxes are ragged, fairways are spotty and dry, greens are extra firm and won't hold shots.

Fun course

First time playing AZ grand this 4th of July weekend. It's a fun, challenging course. Lots of blind shots into dog legs, narrow fairways. Fairways were dry, but I haven't seen anywhere better lately. Greens were decent! Tee boxes are very rough... the 6 some in front of me purposely taking divots in the 18th tee box trying to hit each other with dirt ensures this... bunkers were fluffy in the few I found. Pace of play is a problem. I flew threw the first 5 as a single and then hit the wall... waiting about 10-15 mins per stroke for the rest of the round. Took 4 hours. Group behind me kept hitting shots into me, i wasnt happy. Overall if you catch it on a slow day it's fun. If they're booked up I'd rather make the drive out to Estrella where i havent had any pace of play issues this summer. Driving range included there, wider fairways, similar course, and it's been a few bucks cheaper lately.

At $70 for July rounds, not exactly a deal

Foursome of average to above average players thought the course was plenty challenging, especially the back 9. Overall course conditions were mediocre, but Arizona summer rounds aren’t typically going to be ideal. Pace of play was an issue. Marshall came around towards end of round but by then it was too late. Front 9 and back 9 play very different so it’s a challenge but ongoing landscaping and construction made it tedious, many balls were lost. The mobile drink carts were around every 4 holes or so, so that was nice especially in 115° heat.

Not worth it, director not friendly

All staff minus the director was nice. Played here with my girlfriend as a ride along and rented clubs due to traveling with kids. No driving range. My t time was at 7:30 am and they were already running about 15 min behind. Paid around 200for golf/cart/rentals/and ride along plus another 35 ish for 3 beers. Was at hole 9 around 3 1/2 hours later. Decided to only play 9 and see if I could rain check 9 due to kids waiting in the room. Hole 9 and 10 are no where near the clubhouse. Drove back and asked for rain check and the cart guy said no problem. All the staff was great except for the director of golf. We in to ask for rain check and she said it looks like you played 11holes. After advising that I had to wait to pass people she said she would credit me for $63. I asked if I could play 9 the next day and she said sorry, they only do 18 holes. Asked about club rentals and she said she would make a note for a discount on my next rental. I advised I wouldn’t be able to play 18 and she said sorry then. The course is in bad shape, the rate of play 3.5 hours for 9 holes is ridiculous, and the director’s customer service was terrible. All the other employees were great. Definitely not coming back though.

Good Summer Value for $55 or less.

First time playing here. I would play again for $55 or less. Interesting layouts with elevation changes that you dont normally see on mid priced courses. Not an easy course for being a shorter yardage course - several blind shots and lots of terrain changes with hills, slopes, etc.

Average condition for this time of year in the heat for similarly priced courses at ~$50/rd. The fringe around the greens are all burned out and dead grass/mud, with random patches in the fairway in similar shape. The greens were in pretty good condition though. They run a little slow but true.

Staff was friendly and helpful.

My only real complaint was the pace. A group ahead was clearly falling behind and the ranger was completely content with a 5 hour pace, explaining they would be more than happy if people finished around 5-5.5hrs. Strange.

Decent Course

Course was okay. Nothing great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Front 9 left a lot to be desired (that’s saying it nicely). On top of that the front 9 wasn’t in too great of shape. Back 9 was a 180. Really nice and quite enjoyable. I definitely wouldn’t go back, especially for the summer rate. You get a better value playing in the west valley during the summer. $26 burger was the nail in the coffin, after the round.
