Granite Falls North consistently impresses with well-maintained tee boxes, fairways, and smooth-rolling greens that reward accurate ball-striking. Exceptionally friendly staff and a brisk pace of play make this course a top value in the Sun City Grand lineup.

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.

Good conditions

It had rained a few days before. Conditions on the course were good. Greens were a touch soft from the rain, but putted well. The rough was tougher as it was a bit longer and wet. Very hard to get out of. Pace was excellent.

Fun course

Excellent shape, played in a shotgun start, pro shop was busy with everybody, but were friendly. I never see this course on GolfNow, so when I did I booked it. The fairways were excellent and so were the greens. Beautiful layout, will definitely play it again!

Crazy good summertime value

Beautiful challenging golf course with great bunkering and beautiful fairways with thick rough. Waste areas weren’t awful to play out of. Most of all it was pretty generous off of the tee boxes.

Staff was accommodating and pleasant. We’ll be back for sure.

when are you going to open again?

The SC Grand courses have been closed to the public for over a year. When will they open again for public play?

Amazing value

Greens rolled well after getting an inch of rain yesterday. Fairways a little hairy but to be expected. I’d play here again easily before those ridiculously overpriced courses in the area.

The best of SCG courses

I always enjoy to play at Grand and I like the North course the best. The only issue with ALL of the Grand courses - what possessed you to use checkered flags on the greens. We’re old people with lousy sight. How do you expect us to see the red and blue checkers from 200+ yards????

nice as usual

having played this course many times there was nothing unfamiliar. summer golf in AZ has the perk of faster pace when playing later in the day, and on a course that is in usually good shape i certainly appreciate that

Can’t go wrong

Very good practice range, putting and chipping greens. Course is challenging enough to enjoy and not too long for the novice. Greens are tough to read and have the tendency to roll towards the mountains in spite of the read!

Great for friendly golf and small company tournaments!
