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.

Loved it!

This is such a fun course. The front and back nines are so different, but both nines have their challenges and require some thought. I love sharing Arizona Grand with friends who have never played it, and everyone loves it!

This course has a variety of interesting holes.

We had fun and the course was in pretty good condition. Greens are on the small side and some fairways are generous. Back nine is pretty much desert target golf. Beer at $10 per beer was a little expensive. Overall we had a good time with good friends.

Horrible Condition Golf Course

I never post negative reviews but this course deserves the worst rating ever. It is apparent that they do not spend very much money on upkeep for the course. My son and I were so disappointed to play the Arizona Grand. We will not be going back.

Thinker’s Course

Keep your driver in the bag on most holes. Lots of lay-ups and dog legs even from the back tees. Greens are good.
Really nice staff!

It's a Grand Course

The Arizona Grand is one of my favorite courses, because of the challenging holes. The restrooms are clean on the course and the flag placements are always a surprise.

Good choice

This is a good choice for intermediate players. Challenging but great for being in the middle of
the city. My game was off but I look forward to playing there again

Great layout! Slow play

I have played this course before and I really like the layout. I have expressed some concerns about the friendliness of the staff in the past but they has gotten better. Play was slow on this Sunday afternoon, however, with groups jumping ahead.

Amazing golf

This is one of the hardest courses I have played. There are many challenges but boy it was fun.
Our only comment was there was no Marshall on a Saturday and we were stacked up. Had groups in front of us sitting on the tee box just talking instead of teeing off!

Past go to course not so much now

I have played this course for many years and have always been able to complete a round in 4 to 4.5 hours. On this day we were told there was a tournament and they had just began starting groups on the course about 45 minutes prior to our tee time so it should open up after the first few holes. The pace was good ok up until hole 5 and then seemed to start slowing down. By hole 8 we saw the starter out checking on progress and assumed the pace would get better but it did exactly the opposite and slowed down even more. By the time 4 hours had passed we were just finishing hole 14, and had 4 balls hit into us by the group behind while we were waiting for the group in front to finish on the green or while we were finishing on the green over the previous 5 or 6 holes. At that point it was nearing 7 pm and we decided to call it a day as we were not going to finish anyway. We went past the group in front of us anticipating finding more groups and did not come up on anyone until we got to hole 18 (3 holes out from them) where we waited for a 5 some to finish teeing off prior to heading to the clubhouse for the night. Obviously there was one group which was the problem and they were directly in front of us. AZ Grand is just not living up to their past standards of good pace of play and courteous golfers as we had normally experienced in the past.

Mislead

We were mislead from the first hole not giving us a heads up about the blind pond straight off of the tee. No descriptions of the w holes. Many blind tee shots with large slanted grades toward the water.
