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.

Greens rolling smooth and on the faster side which is great. Fairways had a good cut, not fluff which was nice. Course is in good condition I'll play here again.

Beautiful Course

Absolutely loved the course! Being from the upper Midwest, not used to beauty of desert courses. The Granite Falls North course is stunning and very well kept. The staff were very friendly. The driving range and putting and pitching areas were great. Only thing lacking was a starter to give us basic information when starting. There was not an overabundance of drinking water on the course, one place on the front & one place on the back (not including the turn) finally saw a guy on hold 15 who had a couple of coolers on his cart and sold us some water. So come prepared with water. Concession stand closed at Noon. Great course otherwise. Will definitely play again if in the area.

Greens are recovering from Maintenance, not a bad roll and speed but still a little slow. Fairways are nice as well the tee blocks. Sand traps had sand which is great. I'll play here again.

Customer service

Overall my experience today was good ..however, I feel it could have been better had the front desk been a little bit more welcoming and friendly. It’s not the first time that I have played at this course and I happen to live in the community ..but I feel that he could be a bit more customer service oriented..

The course was recently aerated.

Usually this is a five Star golf course, however we played at a time when the course was under annual maintenance and therefore the greens, bunkers and fairways were the worst we’ve ever experienced.

Nonetheless, still a good value!

Beautiful Course

My girlfriend and I played this course for the first time last Sunday. The fairways and the greens were immaculate and absolutely gorgeous. The staff was very friendly. We tee’d off at 2:10 and had the whole course to ourselves. We are going to play this course again on Sunday. One of my faves. We paid $22 each which was such a great bargain for such a beautiful course.

Greens had just been punched & sanded as of late so had to deal with that but for the most part the greens weren't to bad. Tee blocks & fairways where nice Sandtraps where hit and miss, for the most part they where in good shape with sand. I'll play here again

Summer golf in Arizona

When summer hits and the snowbirds are gone, I get to play the courses at Sun City Grand. It is something that I look so forward to every year. Wide open, few, hazards, nice greens and great pace of play. Highly recommend for any level of golfer. If you don't play these courses, it's something you will regret.

Nice but needs work!

Course has quite a few bare spots in the fairways and on the greens. Not quite as lush as the past few times I have played.

Challenging course but be prepared to move your drives to a patch of green. Greens are rough and spotty.
