Arizona Grand Resort

Detailed description of Arizona Grand Resort

Arizona Grand Resort, previously named Phantom Horse Golf Club, is a Resort, 18 hole golf course located in Phoenix, Arizona.

The course, designed by Forrest Richardson opened for play in 1987. Brad Bartell and Jack Snyder renovated the course in 1988.

One of the more challenging Phoenix golf courses, Arizona Grand blends traditional links with some of the best desert target golf in Arizona. The golf course is built into the rocky slopes of South Mountain on the border of Phoenix and Tempe. This scenic golf course was awarded Four Stars in "Golf Digest's" 2000-2001 "Places to Play" and named as one of the magazine's top 50 "Great Service" golf facilities in the nation. The par 71, 6336 yard Arizona golf course features a spectacular island green as well as a 7,000-square-foot practice green with a sand bunker, and chipping area, allowing practice for a variety of shots up to 40 yards.

The layout of this Phoenix golf course presents blind chip and elevated shots. Arizona Grand blends a traditional links layout with some of the best target golf in Arizona. Phantom Horse is unique because it delivers two different styles of golf. The front nine is traditional, with a links feel and the back nine is desert style, target golf. The front nine is considered a warm-up for the back, which is a lot less forgiving.
