Grand Traverse Resort & Spa - The Spruce Run Course

The course was nice with good greens and well taken care of fairways. The layout is good with some challenging holes on the front 9. The only areas that could be improved are signage and food options. You don't go by the clubhouse once you're on the course, so you have to depend on the food/drink cart to come to you, but it's came around 3-4 times during the round. The signage can be confusing in a couple of spots which led to us and the other guys we were paired with going the wrong way on a couple of holes. Anyway, you won't be disappointed and it was a good day on the course.

The course and staff were excellent. I wish the club house was available to grab a drink and hotdog after the turn. The course also needs restrooms on the course.

Very nice course! Hold 2,3,4 are very tough. Great layout

If you can find a "hot deal" on golf now, this is definitely the best course in the area.

Most people don’t play this because there are 2 other courses to play there the bear and the wolverine I think this one is just as hard as the bear especially the first 6 holes

Enjoyed playing the course, staff was friendly, course was in decent condition. Had a little bad luck, as course wasn't too busy, but we had a very slow foursome in front of us. There was nobody in front of them but they didn't et us play through. We would have hopped in front of them but there were groups behind us so we would have missed a few holes. There wasn't a ranger to speed them up,, so we had a very slow round. Other than that enjoyed the day. Clubhouse great place to relax and have a bite to eat

Fast greens first 6 holes are the hardest must place your shot in a good place to hit to the green it’s a must play

Kind of a tricked up course. Good shots can be penalized. Line of sight often blocked. Greens were fast. Fairways in good shape. Tees not so much. Probably wouldn’t play again, but a decent value for one time play. Not an easy course but the easiest of the three.

First time at the resort. Beautiful course, great layout and 3 different course to play. We will be back next year to play all 3.

The course was in average condition. It’s not what we’ve come to expect from this course. We play a few times a year and generally like the conditions. This time however the course was beat up and tired. Greens were OK but tee boxes and fairways were rough. The bunkers were dismal. The sand was packed down and hard with a lot of weeds and grass..

Rainy day kind of hard to judge the course. Very expensive.to play here But a lot of the courses up here are. Treat yourself and do the Bear.

I only played here for the Cherry Oatmeal cookies!

The course is challenging for all and fair.. The traps are hard packed; green putt slow but have plenty of slope to offset the slow pace.
