Grand Canyon University Golf Course

Was in a rough part of town but once in was ok. Course is tight and had 5 occasions that other players on other holes dropped shots on top of us. More target golf so you stay out princely not a lot of fun. Was looking for a hot dog at the turn but that service didn’t start till 11 and we made the turn at 10:45. All in all a good track to play. The bunkers were soft and truly a penalty which I liked. Water comes into play on a few holes and force’s a good target 🎯 shot from the tee. Shine fairways were a bit soggy from watering but not unplayable. Want made aware of split start on 1 and 10 but the starter was friendly and got me sorted out. Would play again.

Greens were some what slow on this day, but I was told they are generally fast. definitely enjoyed playing and would recommend this course to others. staff were friendly and pace of play was acceptable for this time of the year.

Love the course, the guys I played with have joined me for numerous rounds there, and we all agreed that the course looks like it’s late May when they’re struggling to keep it up, as opposed to a cool March when it should be in great shape. Several fairways were looking quite bare, there is not an inch of rough to be found that looks like it’s seen water in a month, and just all around not what I’ve come to expect of the course in the 6+ years I’ve been playing it. Same course in mid-June, I’d say they’re doing a great job, but in March, for $100, we all expected better.

Nice course, bunkers do come into play often on drives so leaving driver in the bag may be better option. Staff very courteous and efficient

A good track, lots of car noise as would be expected. Was a bit slow as a tournament was going on. Anywhere off the main fairways was very hard. Greens were in good shape and the fairways were nice. Lots of sand!

If there was an in between rating I would rate it a 3.5. Seemed like one thing was good, next thing was poor.

Greens rolled nice, but there was a lot of sand on them from all the bunkers around the greens which made clearing lines tedious. Fairways were in good shape, rough was a lot of dirt. Bunkers were good, carts need to be replaced.

The cart seats had open rips and foam showing through them, and the cup locations on the greens had not been changed in probably a week. The price was $135, and it was probably only worth $50. The staff had an event in the morning in the restaurant area, and it was completely closed for several hours. On a Saturday no less. GCU needs to get serious if they want to be in the golf course business.

The staff was amazing, the course, eh. The layout isn't bad but the conditions were not good. Greens had food coloring and were rough. This course is very noisy with roads bordering it on all 4 sides.

We were coming from Chicago and a played on the day we flew to AZ. If you're desperate to play this is something to consider.

the pace of play was horrible took 3 hrs to play 10 holes we left after 10 holes

Great time, great young people working there, only issues a few traps had a lot of sand other traps similar to playing off the cart path. With the difficulty of the green complexes there, you can’t get the ball out of the traps with no sand, the traps with too much sand were hard to rake smooth or get a lie with out a mound of sand behind the ball. Went to raking first. Or tossing the ball to an area with sand. Will be back.

the course was packed with players , we waited on every hole . Quit after 10 holes which took almost 3 hrs totally unacceptable . not going back
