West at Grandover Resort

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.

Very good condition even after heavy rains on prior day green we 9 out of 10 bent grass but soon to be redone with bermuda

Great course layout, great conditions, slow pace of play with no starter to speed anyone along. No water at any of the holes so make sure you bring your own bottles or you’ll be thirsty with no refills. Took well over 4 hours to play 18 because of the slow pace but fun design & long course.

Visiting from out of town. Course was in excellent condition especially this time of year. Layout was really good with good variety of shots required. I can’t wait to return again.

Nice course to play, but after 4 hours and we were on hole 14; we'd had enough. 9 of the first 13 holes the group in front of us was still on the tee when we got there.

Range balls should be included IMO.

Also need a ranger out there to push pace if play. Not always but this occasion we needed it.

Nice fast greens. Decent fairways. Great staff. Carts are creaky but apparently new ones coming. All in all - a nice round…

Always play the Beast of the East course at GrandOver Resort but I think my favorite is the West Course.

Fairways are good...greens are pretty close to perfect
