Grand View Golf Club in North Braddock is one of the area's most challenging layouts. The course's 160 acres were carefully carved from a woodland hilltop. From its perch, the golf course overlooks the Mon Valley with views stretching to the Edgar Thompson facility, Western Pennsylvania's first and last major steel mill. The distinctive layout will test your creative shot-making skills. It may seem relatively short at 6,111 yards from the back tees but it feels much longer thanks to the rolling fairways and undulating greens. The tight fairways are lined with cliffs, brush, and trees, leaving little room for error. You should also be prepared for forced carries and tricky doglegs. Grand View Golf Club can be punishing for the low handicapper, but high handicappers will find this course to be a unique test of their skills.

Had to play the front 9 twice because they were paving the cart paths on the back. Too many blind tee shots. Not really a good experience, even for a below average golfer like myself. Probably will not be back

Very challenging course built on the hill and every hole is slanted and narrow. Beautiful view of the city!,

Hopefully they can give more T times for Golfpass holders.

It’s a fun and challenging course.

The course was in nice shape! The blind holes can be challenging. Certainly will play again!

One thought though, when the ground is saturated, maybe they could steamroll the lumps on the cart paths.

What’s up with the tee boxes?

The Good -

Love the course layout. Quite a bit of thought into club selection on most of the tee shots, for me only used my driver on holes 1, 10 & 18. The course is fun and plays at a good pace with amazing views.

The Bad -

The tee boxes for 16 out of 18 holes were all sand and crab grass. The ladies tee boxes were randomly placed in the rough just before the start of fairway on a few holes. Some greens had crab grass on the fringe which made things suck if you landed there, which I did a couple times. The greens were recently aerated and that made it hard to get a good putt going but it is that time of year. If you get bent over losing golf balls, this place ain’t for you. Accuracy over distance for this course.

I’d play this course again and recommend it to friends, but hopefully the tee box and green issues with all the crab grass get worked out soon.

Unique

Played labor day one the the first to tee off so pace of play was great, however I am sure it slowed way down as the day went on as there were many waiting to tee off when we finished at 11am. The best feature was its lay out, blind holes and greens uphill and way down hill. The cart paths are not ideal but so many around Pittsburgh aren't much better . They need to clean up the beer cans that people toss into the wooded areas throughout the course.
