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.

Ouch the price

Almost doubled summer rate. Really? Too much. Have to take a financial break from this place.

A nice, easy, quick round

The course is extremely forgiving, there isn’t a whole lot of trouble and where there is (looking at you #15 and 18) the areas to play safe are quite generous. The course was in good condition, although I found the greens to be pretty slow but consistent and true, and pace of play was very good.

Enjoyable Course

Love playing these courses. Have a variety of tee boxes to challenge any golfer. As a single, I have found the others to be enjoyable playing partners.

Fun golf course. It flows nicely and has very few gimmicks.

Probably a little overpriced.

Very nice course

Our first time playing. We played the South course. We played in under 4 hours on a weekend. Conditions were good. A challenging course. With four sets of tees so any level of ability would enjoy. I would play again.

Fun Course

First time playing this course and it was very enjoyable. Tee boxes and fairways were a little shaggy but not bad enough to effect ball spin or club selection. Green were hard and fast which was challenging but fun. Got stuck behind a foursome on the back nine that wouldn't let us pass which slowed down pace of play but no big deal.

Hot and muggy

It rained the night before so the fairways were a bit damp, but not terrible. Otherwise the fairways were in great shape. Everything was nice and green. I did not have to worry about thin lies anywhere. The greens were still a bit bumpy from the aeration previously done. You just had to remember to hit your putts firm. With all the rains we have been having I suspect that the greens will be back to normal shortly.

Nice layout, summer conditions

Course has a nice layout, played the North course in March and it was great for the value. South course in decent shape, but the fairways are too long which a lot of courses struggle with bare spots in the summer, there was plenty of grass just needs to be cut and maintained. Each ball comes out like a flyer from the fairway and the greens are incredibly firm and no give. Greens were very sandy and was nearly impossible to get a good roll on it, will try again in a few months once it has some time to recover

Missed greens

Course is fun except for the brick hard greens. Can't hold the green on almost every hole. Way to fast. Otherwise great course.
