Arizona Grand Resort
About
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.

Gorgeous course
It was a beautiful course, well maintained and challenging. Staff was great. Only complaint is that they should monitor the pace of play. It took our twosome 4 hours to play 18. We waited on every hole because nobody asked the slow group ( also a twosome) to pick up the pace.
Target golf. Much improved.
A few years ago the course conditions had deteriorated to the point that I no longer looked for tee times here. Gave it another chance, out of desperation, and I'm happy to report that they have really brought it back to good shape. Not perfect but better than average at this price point. If you haven't played Phantom Horse, it is well worth a go. It's a shorter golf course demanding accuracy and strategy. Nice views. If you forget your driver at home, you might not miss it.
Poor Value for the Money
Tee Boxes were in very poor shape. In some instances even fairways were in bad shape. Greens were down to dirt in some areas of the putting service. Just off the fairways (not in the desert) the grounds were in very bad shape with virtually no grass (playing off of dirt). Value for the money spent was the worst we had in 4 rounds in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area.
Great Course, but no driving range to warm up on. They do have a hitting net, but with only three spots, its a little inadequate for a course this nice. The course is definitely worth doing.
Nice short course, but SLOW
The course is pretty short relative to many others. If if you can't shape your driver shots, you will find yourself knocking irons, hybrids and woods around much of the course.
On this specific day, the pace was the worst I have experienced in AZ. By the 6th hole we were 3 groups backed up on the tee and this never improved. Painfully slow.
There is no driving range, just a net. No complimentary water bottles, but water fill stations on the course.
A unique course layout
You need course knowledge to avoid the hazards. A few hidden fairways and water hazards off the tee. You need to know what the fairways do past your visual experience. The course is in great shape. Tricky pins possible. I reccomend a course map if you'd like to break 80. Otherwise, swing away. Enjoy your round. Don't keep score. Get drunk and play loud music like you're the only golfer on course. That's the normal now after Phoenix Open trains them young boys to come get wild.
No food or drinks at turn?
I've never heard of a golf course not having food or drinks at the turn, even when the layout doesn't bring you back by the clubhouse. It wouldn't take much to have a little shack selling basic food and drinks between holes 8-11. Drink cart only had hot dogs, no sandwiches. Also pace of play was terrible and marshal didn't seem to do much about one particularly slow group several holes ahead of us. Lastly, hole 2 had a large area fenced off and under construction but in a blind area when teeing off. If there was any signage, I didn't see it. Lastly, a convention was going on at the same time and the line up to grab a coffee before teeing off was ridiculous.
Nice layout. Good value in PHX
This course was in good shape with a very good design. The second nine was particularly good. It represents a good value for winter golf in Phoenix area.
Specifically, the first 8 holes were tight with good design requiring thoughtful tee shots, not just hitting driver as far as possible.
Greens were recently aerated with small holes but very putt-able. Holes 9-18 were even better with manicured tee boxes and fairways.
Par 3's had a variety of distance with elevation changes. Hole #13 was unique in the world as a par 5 tight off the tee finishing with a 100 yard uphill approach with "church pew" bunkers on the face and 30+ yard long green.
I played the black tees as a 9 handicap and found it playable and challenging. My wife (14 hcp) played the white tees and found it great fun.
Good course!
Enjoyed playing the course. Staff was fantastic and friendly. Layout was a bit odd, weaving in between residential properties in some areas. Some tee boxes were a little rough and lacking full grass. Overall a great round and I would play it again.
