Gold Canyon Golf Resort & Spa

The course, as is typical, was in very good condition with the exception of some dying spots in the fairways which is not unusual this time of year in the desert. Pace of play was disappointing as we were "pushing" the group in front of us and being "pushed" from behind since the course marshal seemed to be more interested in finding lost golf balls than keeping things moving.

The view on the front nine is spectacular, the fairways are in good shape the greens do hold the ball! The back nine holes are cut through residential area and not as scenic as the front. The golf course is user-friendly and fairly wide-open, I would go there again.

Le Dinosaur est mon terrain favori. Même s'il n'est pas excessivement difficile, il possède plusieurs défis. Pour moi c'est un "MUST"

great course almost worth the 150,00 fee really loved the free message before the round nice touch john

Pace of play was just over 4 hours 20 minutes. Excellent and well groomed fairways. Greens fast and true. I would say this is the finest course in the valley. I would come back any time!

Always a pleasure to play at gold canyon GC. Course was in great shape. The staff in friendly and the pace of play is perfect.

Played here and had a great time. Everything was well kept. I particularly liked the greens. They are fast and the lines play well. Back 9 were harder than the front. Beautiful views of the mountains from the course. Everything else was great as well. No complaints about the facility, people, or course conditions. It is a bit of a drive from central phoenix (~45 minutes) but worth it. I'll have to try the other course and compare.

One if the best desert courses I have played. The views are incredible and the greens are outstanding.

Beautiful track, but condition not up to previous standards. Especially greens!

They also need a bigger putting green and a proper driving range to charge a premium price per round.

Sorry, but not worth $199/round.

Parcours visuellement extraordinaire. Conditions de jeu excellentes. Verts très rapides. Top 3 de notre voyage.

Probably the most fun I've had golfing in this area in the 7 years I've been going down there. Almost every hole on this course had it's own special photo op. The elevation changes were amazing. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The course itself was in great shape, especially the greens.

My only gripe is that we didn't get to finish the last hole due to darkness. We were playing as a twosome and caught up to a few very slow groups. Would have been nice to get through but we didn't let it ruin our day!

Have been in town for a week of golf and this was the most beautiful course we played, from when you drop the bag until you got back in the car at the end of the game it was a great experience, the course was in fantastic conditions, the staff was very helpful, some of the views were the best i have experienced while playing golf, we enjoyed it so much that we played a second 18 on the sister course ( Sidewinder), will play again next year.

Great views especially the first six holes. Fairway and greens plush.

amazing day, amazing course
will put on preferred list

Front nine was easy. Back nine was totally different, would challenge any caliber of player.

The course was in excellent condition the fairways were tight and you have to lay up sometimes if your afraid of spraying the ball around. Great staff couldn't do more for you

First time playing in Phoenix, and this course is one I'd play again. Looking forward to next year.

This is a nice course and well maintained (except the bunkers). With a look at the course flyovers on their website before play it shouldn't present too much trouble. We played from the black tees. I did have a couple of issues though. The first is with some of the greens. Quite a few of them slope from front to back (?), they are fairly small and hard. Try sticking a longer appoach on that! My second beef also goes for the other 3 courses I have played around Phoenix in the last few days. This is a desert so is it hard to find a bit more sand for the bunkers? And the sand that is in them is full of small pebbles and rock chips that get sprayed over the green when it's a greenside trap. Yikes! Use fine, screened sand.

Have nothing but good things to say about this course. First, the staff was very very friendly especially Mark the starter. He worked with is because our 4th was 15 minutes late, He asked (very politely) those tee times behind us if they wouldn't mind teeing off before us. He went out of his way so that our fourth could join us on the 1st hole.
Forget the price, treat yourself to a good course and play it. For us it was will worth it. Good job SIDEWINDER.

Awesome Course! great views, manicured course, well worth going out to play!
