Granite Falls Golf Club offers two courses, the North Course and the South Course. Rolling hills sprinkled with stately trees and large greens define both courses. The South Course has a challenging layout that appeals to all skill levels with four sets of tees and subtle but effective bunkering. Water comes into play on 10 holes. The golf course offers a scenic finishing hole that has two lakes, joined by a cascading waterfall with a fountain in the background. In addition to the two golf courses, Granite Falls Golf Club boasts extensive practice facilities including a short game area with a practice bunker, two putting greens, and a grass driving range with target areas.

dead fairways

The fairways were all dead grass. I guess they were getting ready for over seeding? It would have been nice to know that before booking the round. It would also have been nice to get a discount for the conditions, instead they raised the price $10 this month. It is a fun course when it is in good shape. Just very disappointed that fairways were dead grass and the rough was long.

Windy

The wind made it difficult to play. Not the courses fault. I played late in the afternoon so pace was not a problem. Finished around 2.5 hours. No GPS or coolers on the carts. There are water fountains every couple of holes which is helpful in the summer heat. The greens still need some time to heal and thicken up.

Loved the course but the ranger was horrible.

The ranger was horrible, forced us to miss a hole even though we were on a 4hr pace. He and he stopped us to chat and give us towels. Just horrible course management from a ranger.

Maybe he was having a bad day because possibly his mom yelled at him, he doesn't know the game, he is horrible at the game, sucks at life, his dog bit him or he had a brunch he was late for. Who knows....

However, I do apologize for writing a negative article because of him.

The course was great, in great condition and fun.

A) Was having a bad day

B) Doesn't know the game or plays like trying to push us while we were enjoying a 4hr pace. The team being l behind us were not pushing on us. It really is the reason for this horrible rating

Bumpy Greens and Wet Tee Boxes

I wish I would of taken pictures. Greens were punched maybe 3 to 4 weeks ago. Greens were cut back because of the freshly punched greens. So they are pretty bumpy! I would say by the beginning of August the greens will putt nicely. I was told two weeks ago when I played Cimarron the greens at Granite Falls were fast. So that is why I wanted to play Granite Falls. Not the case. The other thing that was bothersome, couple of tee boxes were absolutely soaked. Like overwatered! It was standing water. I have never seen this before. For the most part if you were off the fairway the course was fairly muddy! While it was nice to revisited a course where I started playing golf 25 years ago to see the course has matured very nicely. While we got our round done in less than 4 hours (3 hours and 50 mins), the ranger or water towel man was persistent on telling us to keep up the pace with the guys in front of us. Ummm, JaQa$$! the guys behind us are two hole behind. Move along. Don't kill my mood especially when I shot a 75 for the round! The food at the 19th hole was good and so was the service.

Played multiple times this summer

I have played this course multiple times this summer and it has not once disappointed me. Today was a bit windy which made it more interesting. I still had a great time. The greens still require a firm putt, but once you know that you can score well. The fairways and rough can be a little bit thick or fuzzy at times, so you might not get much roll out.. However, to me it seemed like the ball was teed up so I didn't mind it. I enjoy playing this course. It is in much better shape than some of the other courses in the area.
