Grantwood Golf Course

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.

Nice course, great price, greens were soft and course was well manicured.

Nice looking layout with plenty of holes to let it fly but those holes only rewarded good shots. Bunkers and greens were in great shape for early April and few greens were quite a challenge.

In Cleveland area for business and had a day to kill. For early spring and the fact that this course had almost a foot of snow on it a week prior I was very surprised in the great condition the course was in Great round and a 65 deg day made for a good time.

Nice course with some challenging holes. When tee times are offered at a discount, it is worth playing.

NICE COURSE FOR BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATE GOLFERS. VERY GOOD SHAPE.

The facilities are excellent with a chipping green, putting green and dual function driving range (covered matt tees and open grass tees). The course is challenging and the pace of play was just under four hours on a Saturday afternoon. I was teamed up with three others, so we had a foursome.
If you play Grantwood, you won't be disappointed.

Nice course, needs some attention to tee boxes.
Greens were good. pace of play was not the best playing during the week, expect better. once a year play for me, that's all. Nice staff.

The greens were good but the fairways were dry. Some tee boxes were like poor condition due to the dry conditions. We did not go into the clubhouse.
We had a threesome in front that turned into foursome. When we started they were half and hour ahead of us-we caught up to them at the 6th hole. They let us play thru on the 7th hole. We saw them five holes behind us when we were finishing the 18th hole. They should have a ranger.
