East at Grenelefe Golf & Tennis Resort

I played the East Course, was told South was for Members Only.

Last Played it in 1995

Played here a couple of weeks ago and the greens have been greatly improved. Still not really smooth, but better.

We didn’t know before we got there that the front nine was closed, so we played the back twice. No ranger and the group in front of us super slow. Greens were terrible, tee boxes terrible.

Keith in the club house is amazing! Super friendly - as is all of the staff!

Best part about this course is you never feel rushed. Not once did I look behind to see someone breathing down my neck. Tee times were spaced out perfectly and the regulars made my wife and I feel very welcomed.

Perfect course for beginners, as well as anyone who wants to relax!

The course is pleasantly tucked away in development but it is a circuitous route to get to it. The pro shop is a bit of a hike from the smallish parking lot and the signage to the pro shop is sparse. There is an expectation in these Covid times for the inside staff to mask up. The person behind the desk was NOT and there was no plexiglas shield separating us. Staff informed me the back 9 was closed for maintenance. That would have been consideration at my time of online booking. I presented my receipt to the cart person and noted that he was wiping down the carts with a chemical spray bottle.

The front 9 beginning, in summary, was a bit of a narrow dirt track. You had better be skill equipped to hit it straight. Both the fairways and greens run fast and hard due to the compacted nature of the sparse grass. Putting will perplex you as putts rarely we’re running true.

The pace was good as a single but only because there were few players on the course in the 55 degree temperature. I can’t complain about the $20.00 price but that’s all it would be worth at any time.

I played from the whites, about 6,000 yds., and have a 14 handicap.

Grenelefe East is one of our favorite courses. However, the greens are in really bad shape.

I’m only writing this review to warn other people, Golfnow should be ashamed of advertising this course It is in horrible condition from the club house through at least 8 holes. I quit at 8 the course should not be open nowhere on the course is good and then had a 4 ball in front of me would not let me play through and then on 7 another cart joined them to make it a 5 some I wish I could get my money back but that will never happen

This is a nice golf track. Plenty of fun , interesting shots to the greens. Only problem was that the greens were subpar. Spotty grass and dirt greens.
