The nine-hole, executive course at the Golf Canyon RV & Golf Resort is an ideal location for golfers wanting to play a short round with a fair amount of challenges and nice scenery. With a rather tucked away location on the far east edge of Phoenix, the golf course offers plenty of refreshing seclusion and scenic backdrops of the Superstition Mountains. Lakes are situated throughout, coming into play occasionally. With a short wait for tee times and a fast-paced game, this course is perfect for kids, beginners, and golfers who are just busy. Gold Canyon RV & Golf Resort also has a putting green for golfers to use.

Great short course

This course deserves a better rating. It's short but challenging, well managed, and the people are friendly. Pace was a little slow, but that was the speed I was going. I'm coming back.

Nice course

This is a really nice course to work on you irons. It is only a par 3 but it does have water hazards so if you are not on your game you get bet wet. It was fun and the community is super friendly.

Great End of Season Course

This course of nine par three holes is a great challenge for green approach (think irons} shots and reasonably challenging putting. Narrow fairways lined with RV/seasonal accommodations rewards good control and accuracy. Perhaps best tested when your short game is really clicking near the end of your golf season.

Chipping

Was one of the most relaxing rounds we’ve had. Every green was elevated, nearly impossible to stay on the hard green, you could hit the perfect shot and your ball could roll 30’ away.

Unhappy with Golf Now

I accidentally booked for two tee times.
I would like a refund for the second as we did not play two rounds.
I will be checking my Chase account making sure that there are not two charges.
I tried calling the number given for Golf Now to no avail, I also tried emailing but was not successful.
Please delegate me from your membership list as I find it to be very inaccessible.

Par 3

This course was listed on the tee off website as an 18 hole course. It is a 9 hole par 3. The longest hole was 150 yards. The course was in good shape and challenging. It is a walker-only course. The course is too difficult for a beginner and challenging for a well seasoned golfer. It is tight and has hazards to navigate. Would have never played the course. Was mislead by the tee off website.

Golf Pinball with RV Bumpers

This course was an after thought, " Hey, let's squeeze a really short holed 9 hole course in between all these streets, RV's, trailers, and not lay out any access paths and make it so only a pro chipper could play the course. "
We should have known when it was completely empty on a gorgeous 65 degree day in Arizona.

Not a real golf course

We booked with golf now and clicked on to play 18, got there, found out it was a 9 hole course. Said we paid for 18 holes and he said this is a 9 joke course, you will have to take that up with golf now.. Very discouraging. My husband thought about applying for a job as a lawn mower or greens keeper..Grass on the tee boxes was 3 inches deep, fairways were brown. All greens were elevated, not conducive to old people. Not any flat surfaces to walk.Horendous !
