Grande Golf Club

I’ve heard many positive things about the Grande golf course and decided to make 2 hour drive to come give it a go.

It was a beautiful fall day with a moderate breeze coming from the west. The fairways were all very wide and very playable and the health of the grass both in the fairways and in the rough was outstanding green complexes are just super fun to play quick enough to make the round fun, but also soft enough to accept well struck iron shots into them.

The bunkers were all in fantastic shape plenty of sand no rocks just what you’d expect at a top-notch golf course.

When I showed up, I have to admit I was a little surprised because there was probably only 10 or 12 cars in the parking lot on a beautiful fall day, but my teatime wasn’t until 130 so that could explain some of it. I can’t understand why it wasn’t busy because it was just such a joy to play.

I enjoyed it so much. I’m going back next week and bringing some friends to come enjoy it. The vistas are amazing. There’s very little houses on the course. A little noise from the adjoining highway, but not horrible at all. If you’re familiar with West Michigan golf courses, this, has the vistas of the ravines, the openness of HawksHead and the green complexes of Angels Crossing. There are two holes where you need to lay up and can’t hit driver however it’s more than fair and most lies end up in flat spots tons of fun to play. Can’t wait to play it again.

The greens and fairways are in excellent condition and generally not very busy. Unfortunately we were behind a large group(5 foursomes) playing some kind of team challenge competition and play was slow forcing us to play the front nine twice to get 18 holes in.

1st time there. Course is very playable and very nice. The greens were fast,big and undulating. These are hands down the nicest greens I have been on. Fairways are in great shape. If I had to knock anything there it would be the clubhouse. It is very basic. Overall this is my favorite course I played this year. I will definitely be back.

Always play this magnificent course from the back tees. The conditions were not as optimal as last year. On one of the back tees, shrouded in shade, the grass was all dead. The fairways had not been mown. I want to chalk all this up to the lack of rain, but I'm concerned about the sustainability of this gem, so huge, so expensive to maintain, but never busy. Are all the long carries keeping high handicappers away? Management needs to get busy advertising. Why isn't this amazing golf course jam packed every day?

Course was in great condition. The only problem I had is the sprinklers were going off in the morning when I was playing. But he had to water sometime. I played by myself in the pace of play was great two people in front of me that did not hold me up. I was able to play two balls if I wanted. It was a little pricey, but not too bad. Would recommend this course to others.

It is a nice course, and has some great holes, the problem is price. Its not a PGA course and doesn't host any amateur tournerments. And the price should refect that, and be comparable to the other nice courses in the area. Even the range fees are outrageous.

The pace of play is great because it is always dead. I have played there 6 times the last 2 years and never seen more than 2 or 3 other people on the course. I'd love to play here more, its 3 miles from where I live, but if it wasn't for the discounts I find on Golfnow, I'd never play here, Its a shame too, because it is a fun course.

Found this course to be in great condition. Practice facility was excellent! Loved it. 77.00 per round is a little pricey but the course was fantastic!!

The Grande is truly a "gem"! One of the best courses in mid-Michigan.

I enjoy this course but we had a 9:04 tee time, which was delayed about 15 minutes for weather, which is fine, but we waited every shot. This course has some long drives between holes, so 4 1/2 hours is probably average but 5 1/2 is too long.

The Grande was outstanding as usual. Great pace (we played it in a little over three hours). A great layout & overall beautiful course.

I live out of state and found this course online. I felt like a road trip and this course was worth it. I plan to return. I played in October and the weather was great, around 70 degrees and relatively calm winds. The course was in great condition and I saw only a few others on the course. There's not much in the pro shop, but the guys I talked to before and after my round were great. Bang for the buck, this is an outstanding deal. I'm hoping to bring a few friends when I next play there.

It is clear that the grounds crew is working this place back into shape from last year. It is still not what it once was 7 years ago. They eliminated many sand traps over the last few years. Then, I'm sure based on recent storms, removed many trees this year compared to last year. I would say it made the course easier, but allowed the grass on the greens and fairway to grow better. Overall conditions have improved. It is fun course. Not the best value, but one that you won't regret going to once a year.

Absolutely beautiful, challenging, and in excellent condition.

Loved it and didn't have to drive 4 + hours up North!
