The North Course is one of two courses at Granite Falls Golf Club, the other naturally being the South Course. The North Course was built on a rolling, hilly terrain with stately trees and abundant shrubbery. Although the fairways are quite generous, they are undulating and surrounded by sand traps. There is also extensive mounding and bunkering, both grass and sand, to provide more challenge. Water hazards come into play on 10 holes. Many holes have beautiful mountain backdrops, creating a scenic environment for the game. The course has four sets of tees, making it accessible to all skill levels. Granite Falls Golf Club, in addition to the two golf courses, also features a grass driving range with target areas, two putting greens, and a short game area with a practice bunker.

Lost Balls (A Horror Story)

The weather was beautiful, the course was in great shape, the staff was friendly, and my playing partners were good people. My dead pulls off the tee box, and my balls seemingly magnetically attracted to water, would’ve been the perfect match for the cart girl with my beer…but alas she wasn’t seen until it was too late. Regardless, the fault is mine. I’ll play here again, when I can get off the tee box in a mostly straight line…😭

Maintenance crew needs to work on Holidays!

Course layout is great. Haven't played this course in a very long time. Same thing as it was back 20 years ago and the reason why I stop playing the Sun City Grand courses. The Maintenance crew does not work either on Sundays or on Holidays. This past Labor day, you can tell they did not work early to prep the course. Fairways were long and hairy. Greens were fine. Both Fairways and Tee Boxes were not cut. Hit the fairway many times in my round only to find the fairway cut was lengthy causing me to swing through thicker grass. Had to club up or get a clean sweep off the ball to get it to the go the distance. If you are going to have a shotgun at 7am, you could of at least had the Maintenance crew start cutting the grass prior to the shotgun start.

Summer golf

For Summertime golf the course is in good condition. Yes, there are a few burnt spots, but mostly those are in the rough areas. The greens are in good shape. They roll fairly smooth. The only thing that bugged me is that it appears that either golfers are stepping next to the hole on one foot to retrieve their ball or they are placing their putters next to the hole to brace themselves as they reach into the hole. I had several putts headed for the center of the hole only to suddenly turn sharply away like it hit something. Guys, if you can't bend down to pick up your ball then buy one of those grabbers for the end of your putter. You should not step within one foot of the hole if you can help it.

Outing

Good day on the course. Hannah (sorry for the spelling) great “cart girl” on top of her stuff. The pace of play was pretty good, I’m sure I slowed my group down. I hope to be back soon.
