West at Grandover Resort

Although it was raining and wet, the course is awesome and we enjoyed it!!!

Played here on a rare warm day in December. Great course and challenge for me, only have been playing for 5 months. People working the pro shop were very friendly, good facilities throughout the course. Only issue that came up was pace of play on the back 9, but with the weather it was understandable.

Came from Raleigh after booking on golf now with a hot deal. With that, it was a good value. The greens were quick and undulating, the course is well-kept and is quite challenging. Having played it once will be a certain advantage for when I play on Friday.

There should be a Ranger then comes out and moves these slow groups in front of you to speed up play. There was a foursome twosome another twosome and us behind us was a To some in a foursome, we both quit on the 12th hole because the pay play was so bad

Halfway house was closed completely. If that’s the case set up some vending machines or have a cart driving by

Lastly, when we finished 16 there was a large group of players coming the opposite way. Apparently you the jr golf league. Some were starting in 17 where we were teeing off. They were super nice and courteous however, I think the course should better manage their events. Good thing we were already running almost an hour ahead of our pace but what if we weren’t? Then what?

Jr golfers were great.

Course management was not good.

Thanks.

Course conditions were good considering the amount of rain we had received lately. We were the only ones on the course due to our tee time being 3:45 on an overcast day so pace of play was excellent 😂 . Pro shop was great with excellent employees. Some of the bunkers were flooded but it had rained recently. Course drained well and we were able to drive all over the course instead of being cart path only.

I would definitely play again.

Green is little hard. It is hard to hit solid from rough

Played here few times but not since the renovations especially the greens. Super fast but very fun and challenging. I would recommend playing both courses and seeing the differences for yourself

The staff were phenomenal friendly and very helpful, the cafe food and drinks were great , really enjoyed my happy Gilmore drink. I will definitely come back and play and bring friends with me.

Enjoyable day on a well groomed course. The only issue was the greens. They are new this year. While they did roll very well, almost every well hit approach shot rolled off the back because they were so firm.

Always loved the West course at Grandover… that is until they screwed it up in 2024. Highly disappointed with the redo, and conversion of the greens! Despite being closed for 4 months the new greens were , well, not very good! I’ve played on some lower budget courses that were only closed for 3 months for conversion and their converted grasses were far far superior to this 4 month conversion. Several greens had bare spots, and the 3rd or 4th ? green was basically sand with little grass. Additionally numerous green-sides now have soft mud wetspots that were not their prior… not sure what thats all about! I certainly expected better being that Grandover has always been top-notch!

Additionally, being without traffic all summer, as expected the fairways were good, but roughs are so long & spongy that its VERY hard to locate your ball even if only a couple feet off the fairway. And the mixture of various grass types around many greens was frustrating. 1 hole your chipping from bent or bermuda, the next hole your chipping from thick bladed grass.

Greens were very very hard as well and held very few approaches!

The course was wet from overnight rain which made hitting out of bunkers very difficult, but overall really enjoyed the course. Nice layout. always enjoy playing at the Grandover. Will be back for sure.

The course probably should have been closed after getting 1-2 inches of rain the previous evening/overnight, even the range was closed. We were basically alone yet took ~5 hours to play due to extremely wet, muddy conditions and cart path only - every shot the ball was in standing water. Overall a disappointing first visit, especially for the price, to what looks like a great course in normal conditions. Will likely return on a sunny day.
