Grantwood Golf Course

Some traps were completely soaked you couldn’t hit out of, roughs were almost too short and dry it was like hitting off a rock at times.

Overall good shape I play the course often.

Course is always in good shape, pace of play was good, staff, a little bossy but nice. Overall good time

Got a great deal of $16 to play....which is about 1/2 of what us residents pay at this city owned course. Just want to practice so it made this mediocre course in fair condition worth it.

The couple (I was to play with them, but they teed off a few minutes before the designated tee time. What was the attendant doing?) ahead of me was a bit slow, which was frustrating. Other than that, the play was enjoyable. The course was fairly challenging to me, and I had fun.

I was surprised to be able to play on Sunday @7:30 AM, then I thought it must be something wring, (e.g. the course was torn up, the greens were bad, or under construction, etc.). None of it all. It was very well kept and I am sure the amount of rain have helped as well. The greens were way better than what I remembered. For a city course, it is worth the money!

Really enjoyed this course. Beautiful fairways and the greens were in perfect shape. Staff was very professional and the starter was very personable. Had one problem. A couple in front of us backed us up all day. Below average woman player playing off the white tees and hitting 2 balls on many occasions. Reported to drink girl but never saw the starter. Long day.

With the GolfNow deal it was cheaper than a bad course.

80% of time golf courses treat GolfNow customers like second class citizens. Grantwood is no different. I wasn't paired w/ the 2 players that had my same time. Starter told me to wait & then disappeared 'till after my scheduled time. I ended up having to play the course back to front because of stacked up time that his actions put me in. Grounds crew in the way, just like on most courses these days. Play was slow due to the modern day hacks that take far too long to get around a course.

The staff at Grantwood are top notch. The pro shop is the best I've ever seen at a municipal course in Ohio or Pennsylvania. They carry a wide-range of gear, with excellent selections of putters, hats, shirts, and shoes in particular. They also carry full sets of women's and junior's clubs, for pricing better than I could find online.

Course has a great layout for beginners & also a few challenging holes for better golfers. I play there several times every season and the course is always in at least good shape if not better even when getting a decent amount of rain.

I haven't played Grantwood in a few years, but I couldn't pass up the deal. I'll be honest up front, this course has never really fit my eye, so I'm not a huge fan of the layout. However, pace of play was great (although weather may have something to do on the given day) but I've never had issues with it years ago either. The conditions were well above average as well. Greens were quick, but I was not a fan of the pin placements. It seemed like every putt was down hill, it would pick up speed at the cup and if you went past you'd have a 5 footer coming back. And they were tucked into corners of the greens. There's a couple longer holes (400+ par 4s) where a creek is right at 250 off the tee so there's not even a risk-reward option, it just takes the driver out of your hands, making a tough hole tougher. The number one handicap is only a tough hole b/c a tree blocks 80% of the tee box & fairway, and you can't hit driver b/c of a creek. Even with a fairway or hybrid you have to play a big fade or you'll be blocked out on the second as well. Again great conditions, pace of play was good, it was a fun day, just not my favorite layout.

The course was in decent condition. Staff in pro shop very courteous and friendly. HOWEVER, the starter has a huge chip on his shoulder. Not friendly and bit of a jerk! This is my first time playing this year but this guy was the same last year so it was not just a bad day. If the guy does not like his job then he should quit!

Course was in very good condition, for the beginning of year. Fairways and greens played very true. Will play again soon.

Played this course for the first time yesterday. Windy day, and unfirtunately most of the longer holes were into the wind. That's the way it goes. I was a single that had been paired with two others but the pro shop had me go off the back nine by myself. That helped as I played in less than 2.5 hours. Course was still a little bit wet and "rough" in spots due to springtime rains. That's expected. Friendly staff. If memory serves correctly the white tees are around 5600 yards and blues were 6200-plus. Only 200 yards between blue and black. It would be nice if there was a 6000 yard option. Maybe they could do a "hybrid" tee offering on the scorecard to make it so, vs adding more tee boxes.

Course was in great shape with a few tricky holes if you haven't played it. Greens rolled true. No snack bar and the man behind the counter acted like it was a bother to grab a few bottles of water....will play the course again.

Weather was hot. Aside from the rough, course is in great shape.
