Grand Canyon University Golf Course

I was told I have to pay an extra cart fee to ride alone since they were low on carts. The other single had a pull cart and was walking. I asked how he was suppose to ride with me with his pull cart and the starter just said “you paid extra so you are good”. The three people I played with and the group behind me quit at 9(single joined me on the back nine) because of the pace of play, probably because they overbooked tee times which would account for low carts maybe. Round took just under 6 hours. Just be ready to wait around and if you are a single I recommend walking or you might have to pay for the cart twice.

My husband enjoyed the long holes and the open layout makes it easy to follow & find your golf balls. If it’s peaceful & serene you’re looking for, this is not the course for you.

Sand needs to be fluffed up! Especially since we were in them constantly!

Great course, really good shape. I try to play it every time I am out here.

Lots of deep bunkers difficult for women. Greens good but holes were old and ragged on edges. Crowned greens left pretty good shots well away from green

First time playing GCU course, good layout with good mix of hole designs. Greens were rolling very good. pace of play was excellent until last 3 holes, then it slowed down a bit. Rate for out of towners is higher than expected for the quality of this course.

In a bad area…decent course in general but it doesn’t have the wow factor like many courses in Arizona

Such a beautiful set up, not sure why they let it get beat up so bad around the greens. Any chip from off the green is a dusty tight lie. no extra water is what it looks like. Fairways are great and greens are hard, no ball marks on shots.

Way too many deep sand traps. All holes look the same. Ground hard and sloped so that good shots roll into traps. All 4 players in group stated there was no reason to play course again.

an amazing # of sand traps on every hole...but no samd...like hitting of cement...greens were cement as well...pace of play was 5 1/2 hours

Fairways are good. Roughs and just that but playable. Quite a few similar holes - par 4s. Overall a decent layout and busy.

GCU is a challenging layout with a nice variety of short, long and in between holes. Conditions were good except for a couple of fairway that were dried out and brown for some reason. The bad news was that we got behind the second slowest group on the course. Unfortunately, they were behind the slowest group on the course. Almost 5 hours. The slowest group let another group play through on 13. By the time the slowest group was done 15, the group that played through was hitting approaches to 18.. There was a ranger out, but it appears he was trying to keep Yogi from stealing picnic baskets (google that for the younger crowd)
