Grand Traverse Resort & Spa - The Spruce Run Course

Beautiful grounds and well kept fairways. The pace of play was very slow though, this was the only downfall.

Grand Traverse Resort is doing what they have done for a long time, providing quality golf with great service, friendly professional staff and a zeal to be a leader. Keep up the positive experience we have grown to love and expect.

The staff was very friendly making an enjoyable experience. They were upgrading their sprinklers when we played that prevented play on one hole and changed another hole to a par 3.

But holes were very playable but still included some challenges on some.

Greens were in great shape.

Overall a 5 star course, I did give 4 star for only the course condition category as a couple holes are under construction,

Very overpriced course. Anthills everywhere, muddy fairways, uneven tee boxes. For $100 you should at least have some semblance of a quality golf course. The 12th hole was under construction and closed and we were given no notice before we got there. This is closer to a $65 course in the Grand Rapids area.

All three courses at the resort had leagues going on and were completely full….there was no way of getting 9 holes in within 3 hours….paid for 2 players for 18 holes teeing off at 6

When I got there I was told that you cannot play hole #6 as it is being worked on so just mark par or bogey on the score card. Then when we get to hole #12 which is normally a short par 4, now it is a par 3 as the tee boxes are in the middle of the fairway. Also due to more work being done. You still pay a premium to play this course and it would have been nice to know that these two holes were under construction PRIOR to booking. I would have played somewhere else for less money. I like the course and have played it many times and just don't think it is right for them to charge what they are for what you get or at least make this info known before you book online.

Great day for golf at the Resort-Spruce Run Course. Wonderful staff from bag drop to check in and starter. Course in great shape despite renovations going on. 7th hole closed this date. Looking forward to playing again. Big time thumbs up!!!

I was very impressed. For an internal resort first nine it was very private. Lots of construction issues so it only played like 66 but still a great layout

Slow as all get out. Put us behind a five-some who even never let us pass. If you live on this course rules don’t apply to you and it may ruin other golfers experiences….stay away.

First time playing at Grand Traverse resort. Do like the layout of Spruce Run and the course conditions were pretty good. Greens had been aerated recently but were growing back in and rolled pretty well. Course amenities seemed limited from what I expected for a Grand Traverse resort course, such as lack of GPS on carts. Overall, I would be interested in playing Spruce Run again when I am back In the area.

Felt guilty for Hot Deal, great value. Staff at Bag Drop, Pro Shop, Starter, Refreshment Cart all in action. Classic course features and good conditions including every trap. Blue Tees plenty long for a challenge.

We played as a twosome and followed a group of 12 so expected delays and we did wait. Layout and conditions of course excellent. My only disappointment was that a Resort course did not have restrooms on the course, only ports potties!
