| - This course, clubhouse and employee force fulfills its intentions.
First, the clubhouse is state-of-the-art. It was recently built, modern and attractive. Moreover, it boast a large Pro Shop and a full-sized restaurant and bar. This clubhouse makes for an excellent 19th hole, and brings many great ascetic qualities to the course.
Moreover, the employees, both maintenance, pro shop, and cart staff, are polite, experienced and customer-focused. The pro shop has at least three pros that all have PGATs and the cart staff consists of hardworking students that are largely a part of GCU's golf management program. Importantly, the cart staff power washes every cart, cleans it thoroughly and takes your clubs from the bag drop to range without an questions asked. I found that to be quite the nice greeting.
Finally, and most importantly, the course itself is great. It's essential to note that the price for 18-holes with a cart on a weekend is right around $50, which is a great price. The course itself is challenging. It is well kept, long, cryptic, bunker heavy and characterized with undulated and elevated greens. Also, for an Arizona course, there is quite a bit of water in play on the course.
Even though this course, as it is now, hasn't even been open for a year, the Grand Canyon University Golf Course is quickly finding its stride.
