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.

Returned after 30 years

The fairways and greens were in good shape. Tee boxes need some work.

Cart girls weren't stocked with enough lunch time food., so we had to wait until after our round (245pm) to eat.

No range. 2 beat up mats, no tees, and a net.

Putting area at first tee.

Alright course

The course is relatively short, but between elevation changes and turns, it is a test for all clubs. The greens are nice, the fairways are in good shape, but the traps could use some work. We chose this course because it was close to the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on our last day of a week-long golf vacation. The other courses we played would rank above this one if/when we visit Phoenix again.

Construction zone

Don’t waste your money here. There is a roped off construction area on the 2nd hole that takes up half the fairway and has been there for a year. The layout is terrible with holes next to busy freeways. Some of the tee boxes were giant patches of dirt. The greens had 3 different kinds of grass/weeds growing on them. This place is old and tired. You can tell they’re doing poorly financially. They don’t have proper signage or well kept paths. Pace of play was 5 hours for 18. There was a ranger on the course who did nothing to help the situation. We arrived at the 18th tee box around 6 pm(sunset 615). As we are about to hit the ranger pulls up and runs into the tee box saying the course was closed. After a brief exchange all we could do was laugh and promise we wouldn’t be back. Do not play here under any circumstances

OK course. Marshall could have been nicer however.

We started at 2:40 and got through mid 15 holes before the Marshall came, literally picked our ball up right before the green and told us to get out. At that point we still had daylight left, I get that they don’t want unsafe golf in the dark but they could be way nicer than they were. However the course was ok and the valet guys who held our rental clubs were the one of the nicest people.

Very nice course, yet difficult

The course looks nice, in great condition, however, if you dont like playing blind tee shots or approach shots this isnt the course for you. Im also not a big fan of courses that have too many hills and slopes all over the fairway. A few too many times I'd hit a great tee shot only to be punished with a bad lie on a slope. Im on vacation not a tournament, i don't feel like struggling during my round.

Awesome Course (Traveld from East Coast)

We went to the Scottsdale/Phoenix Area for a golf trip the week after the WM Open and wanted to keep the courses within budget. 12 Guys Thursday Morning 9AM TT for $109 a pop 18holes and a cart, weather was perfect- it was a steal. The front 9 is "regular golf" the back 9 is "dessert golf" brings in great challenges included a handful of dog legs. One Note- hard to find with the construction in front of the resort, need more Signs saying GOLF this WAY!!!

Course in good shape

Everything was great, greens were in best condition I've seen in years but the tee blocks need some major work. Many had hardly any grass...

Great People and Fine Track

For the money during the crowded WM Open week, this was a great time. Decent conditions even with uncharacteristic weather.
