Grande Vista Golf Club

Golfed today as the sun was rising, playing for the first time. We were told about the 90 degree cart rule and stay on the paths for all par threes which is good. The greens were putting at about 11.0 to 11.5 as the sun warmed things up, perfect. The greens apparently are Zoysia ( I may have my spelling off here) and they are apparently only 4 months old! The greens today had recently been top-dressed and cleaning the sand off the ball was a must to not get it between the putter and the ball. The greens putted very smoothly and true but need water to soak in the sand. Had a couple high shots not wanting to stop well on the green. This course is a must play due to the following:

1) Great course conditions

2) Quick greens

3) Best practice area for most courses

4) Nice layout and not too difficult

5) You need to stripe a couple from the "tips" to get to the back pin on number nine as the wind was in your face.

Lastly, I played as a single joining three others for nine holes and two of us went around again for 18. As we got to the third hole (Our 12th) we asked the two behind us to join us as it was starting to get busy. We were joined by a PGA Pro teaching a 12 year student from China and WOW! What a pleasure to play with "V" and the pro ( I will not use her name). Neither had played here before as we hadn't either and the young girl is going to go far on the LPGA or whatever ladies tour she plays. She can really play and is receiving excellent instruction shot by shot. I thought of getting an autograph. We were told that she has shot 65 in tournament conditions. Best of luck to you in your endeavors "V".

I did better than usual for me today shooting a 70 on this course. I think that is 5 over par but really never checked.

Best wishes from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Great conditions. Great views. Fast Greens. Great short course to get in 9. It was my first outing on my 4 day golf run, so it was a great warm up. A little too short for my liking to play a full 18 but very well maintained.

Good resort course. Decent conditions for late January. Friendly staff make for an enjoyable day.

Forced carrie and , huge undulating greens make this a formidable challenge.

Nice little nine hole course. Greens In excellent condition. Good for working on your iron play. Just a little pricey for a nine hole venue. With that said we’ve already played here four times so we obviously enjoy it.

Enjoyed the course and would certainly play it again. Even better were the practice areas.

This is a very fun 9 hole layout and the staff is excellent. Played 18 holes and you can vary the tee selections if you want a different look. The clubhouse is really nice and part of a Marriott property. The fairways and greens are perfect with the greens being very fast and true. Pace of play is great and even though the par 3 holes are cart path only, the layout is such that you don't walk much. Look forward to playing this fun course again in the near future.

Good course with friendly staff. Just a little bit overpriced

I think that the greens are as good as I have seen. The course is in excellent condition with great practice facilities.

I enjoyed two rounds two days and going back tomorrow fun day

A tough little par 32 within the Marriott villages and golf training facility. Challenges more than you think it will.

A nice 9 hole course to get the week started. Nice course, a little rough at the tee blocks, divots. Rental clubs were well used with a few odd irons. Grip on driver tore, putter dried out. Staff were friendly and very helpful.
