Grand Traverse Resort & Spa - The Spruce Run Course

Played early morning tee time and course was is excellent condition. Never had to wait or be pushed along. Would definitely come back to play again.

Played Spruce Run, beautiful couse and conditions were great. Definitely recommend.

greens and fairways in good shape although greens were slowest on 5 rounds played in Gaylor area. course plays long and it seemed every hole played uphill and long. were a few wet spots in fairways but course in good shape following recent rain closures.. the Combo yellow white tee was good senior tee

Course was damaged by the recent storm

Several trees down

Greens were a little slow

Excellent course conditions. Tricky greens. Stay below the hole!

Fun course, don’t let the yardage fool you.

The course was in good shape, with thick rough that punished errant tee shots. Great value for the area, costing almost $100 less than the other courses at the Grand Traverse Resort.

Spruce Run may be considered the little brother to the Bear and the Wolverine (even though it is significantly older) but it deserves plenty of recognition itself. The course was in phenomenal shape. The fairways were tight and the greens were slick. Almost every hole was tree lined, and there were multiple times where a hole would look impossible from the looks from the tee box. But there were some excellent holes on the course. There were several magnificent elevation changes, and some very severe doglegs. If traveling to Grand Traverse, don’t overlook Spruce Run because it is just as good as the other two in its own way.

Other than the threesom behind us wanting to set a speed record the first five holes. (They finally backed off) We played in under four hours. The course is tight but playable the first 13 holes than opens up. Great layout and tricky greens. Very fun and I recommend it to anyone.
