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.

Tough par-3

Despite being only a par-3, this is a tougher course than it looks. Elevated tees and greens on every hole and water on more than half means you should bring lots of balls. To add to the fun, the course is situated in the middle of an RV/park model resort so the fairways are tight. Great course to practice your short game.

Slow play and very tight

Waited on every hole as the course was crowded. The tiny fairways have houses right off the edge of them . Goose droppings on every green made putting very difficult. They have also started charging 3 dollars for there pull carts. Won’t play again!

Short all Par 3

First time playing this course. it was very short- all Par 3s- Walk only, which I was not prepared for, this is my fault. The greens were rough in the high season when most greens are at their best.

Good executive

It's a par 3 executive. Way more elevation than I expected. For a par 3, I thought it was very nice and will go back

Nice short course with tiny greens

Good warmup. I liked the value, 12 bucks each included a pull cart. Smallest greens I’ve ever seen and I hit a house, very tight.

For a small par 3 course it is challenging and very well taken care of. I plan on returning very soon.

Great for your short game

All the elevated greens mean you'd better know how to use your short clubs. The Greens are small, which also means you better know how to use your short clubs.
