The resort is known for golfing, so for wives who are widowed when the clubs come out this is the place to get pampered. Our room was called the Spa Package and had a hot tub on the patio. It was private so skinny dipping was fun. They have a great bar and the food was good. Morning buffet was... More

My wife and I had 3 days of good weather to play golf in the Phoenix area. Gold Canyon was in the same price range as We-Ko-Pa and the Boulders (both were 1st rate), but gold Canyon felt like a day at my local muny. A tip of the hat to the greens-keepers, but tees were littered with cig butts... More

Girls weekend and we were thrilled with the facility and superior service. The casita had 2 queen beds, frig, microwave, small kitchen sink area, fireplace, and outdoor hot tub. The hotel, golf course, and casita were immaculate. Beautiful views of the mountains and desert landscape with spectacular sunset. We ate at the hotel restaurant and the food was good and... More

This is a great resort. It's close enough to Phoenix but far enough away for peace and quiet. The casitas provide privacy and the private hot tub on the patio was fantastic. The staff was very helpful and kind. We had the breakfast buffet each morning and it was good. They also have made-to-order omelets. My only complaint was about... More

From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. The staff was warm and friendly. The grounds were immaculate. Our room was clean and had a rustic southwestern feel. We golfed on Sidewinder. A beautiful course. I had a massage at the spa which was one of the best massages I have had. We ate at both the bar... More

Our recent stay 9-23-11 to 9-25-11 was a true delight. We traveled for a couple's weekend from Ohio, and saw a "deal" on Groupon, so decided to take a chance on a resort, as it appeared nice, and were pleasantly delighted. Our casita included a fireplace, whirlpool and giant shower, and although it needed updating, it was clean and spotless... More

This was our second visit to GCGR and the resort has declined. Property and golf courses are spectacular. Reservations were fouled up. Paid extra for an upgraded room facing the mountain and GCGR tried to stick us in a room facing the lobby. Probably one of the worst rooms in resort. Housekeeping never cleaned patio or picked up debris on... More

I have gone to GCGR since I was a kid! I myself lived only about 20 minutes away if not less. Whenever family would come down from back east we'd go there and other places around Arizona. I've never had a bad experience there of sort. The service has always been excellent. I recently visted with my husband for his... More

My husband took me there for a surprise birthday weekend. I always get my massages at the spa there and LOVE IT. We have stayed there one other time many years ago. I thought the accommodations were dated and old then. This time we had a rather large room with the indoor jacuzzi spa, living room, kitchen area and patio.... More
