Grand View Golf Club

Grand View is always a challenge .

The fairways are narrow and there is a lot of blind holes. The par threes in the front nine leave very little room for error. (pick the right club and shoot straight )

There are a few holes where the wind can pick up and will have a strong affect on you shots.

Don't be afraid to lose a ball or two on this course!

Very nice coarse if you like challenging positioning shots.

Lots of dogleg right shots, very well maintained & everyone is very friendly.

The course was in very good condition . Pace of play was good not too crowed not being pushed. Beautiful views of the Mon Valley and the skyline of Pittsburgh , perfect day of golf!

I've played the course before so I knew the challenges of some of the holes. The greens were aerated recently, but overall the course was in good shape. There are some holes with landing areas and others that force you to think about club selection. It is a nice change from the straight away unimaginative lay out of some courses, but not one that I will play regularly.

you'll walk a lot. For someone with COPD, don't go there. Many holes are stay on cart path (the GPS system lets you know when you don't) because many holes have severe sloping. The tees and the fairways were lush. The greens were aerated (knew that going in), and were still pretty nice. I used my 6-iron and 7-iron off the tee a lot for placement purposes, also known as a flat lie. Fantastic views.

Drove 2 hours to play Grand View. The course is very unique. I've played scores of courses and there are very few that compare.

The course is short but doesn't play like it. Course layout demands accurate iron play from any tee instead of your traditional "grip it and rip it" approach on most courses. It was my first time but the starter was helpful in offering advice, the cart GPS were fist rate, and markers were sufficiently placed.

The elevation changes are severe on several holes making club selection crucial.

The views throughout the round are spectacular, the grounds were replete with local wildlife, and the course was extremely well maintained.

We played on a nearly empty course as the Steelers had a home game and the weather was wet. Despite a few moderate downpours, the greens stayed firm, the fairways (recently aerated) did not bog down and there was no standing water anywhere.

Lunch buffet was available to golfers at $12 paper person to boot!

We will be back and hopefully get good weather out next trip in.

They call this the Monster on the Mon, for good reason. This is not the longest course, by any means, but it's a lot of fun. Elevation changes, ravines, narrow fairways, blind holes, there's something for everyone here. Bring extra balls when you play it. You'll need them. The people are great, the carts are first-rate, the course is always well maintained, the restaurant is excellent, and the view is truly "grand". Put this one on your bucket list. (One explanation- the price I paid was for 9 holes, Senior player rate.)

The course has a nice layout and is well maintained. The last time I went, the booked tee times really close together but they fit me in last minute so I didn't complain.

The course was in great shape and we had a really good round.

Would rather have played the course before ... a few blind shots that local knowledge would have helped. Still ... great views and greens. Didn't appreciate the maintenance guy working on the tees while we were playing. I get the fact that the tees had been aerated the night before, but seriously ... pulling out the tee blocks before we get to the tee? Unacceptable. This guy was basically telling us that his job is more important than our golf experience. Then, later in our round ... he was teaching a new employee how to rake a bunker. While we were playing the hole. Unbelievable ... haven't seen that in my entire life. This guy never even acknowledged us, let alone apologized. Won't be back.

I found the tee boxes had just been air rated . It is good to see someone is taking care of the grounds .The grass was cut the greens were fast the views were great . This course is tough if you do not manage your game .This golf course is well worth your time to play it.

This course will challenge you, and will give you fantastic views all at the same time!

If you are just starting out golfing, this is not the course to start out on. But once you can play here and play off of any kind of lie, this will prepare you for any other harder course that's out there. The course is in Amazing Shape, and the Greens are ALWAYS in Great Condition! This is a Must play! Once you play it, you'll be hooked!

Course and greens in good shape

Could have used a ranger to move a couple of foursomes along and a beverage cart as the heat rose in the afternoon.

Overall: enjoyable - interesting layout provided unique challenges - greens in good shape - competitive price=great value.

Outstanding challenging course

The course layout is great, but you will lose golf balls. The greens were perfect speed and in great condition. Some of the fairways were burned out, but majority good.

Cart service was excellent and bar aftrwards great.

To start off this was the first round of the year that I had played. I got to the course and hit some putts on the practice green and they were perfect! This helped to increase my confidence before the start of the round. The ladies working in the pro shop were very nice. The course was in perfect shape. It had rained 3 or 4 days before I played so the course was just the right amount of soft but not so soft that everything plugged. You were able to hit balls right at the flag and have them stay right were you wanted. You could then walk right up to the putt and hit it right in. Overall this round of golf was excellent. I will absoultly play this course again and take anyone who comes to visit me to play this course.

The greens are in great shape. However, the course has way too many blind shots for a course that is pretty narrow and extremely hilly.

I play this course every time I'm in Pittsburgh. This course is short but very challenging. The views are incredible and the greens are always in excellent shape. If you like target golf course is for you. I highly recommend this course to anyone who lives in Pittsburgh or a must for anyone visiting.

Great value and extremely challenging set up . Read previous reviews about a slow pace of play but found no problem at all . Greens were fast and in great shape . Course layout demands accuracy off the tee or you will be punished with uneven lies . It was a real challenge and will definitely play again if I'm ever back in the area
