Grand View Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Grand View Golf Course in New Era is one of northwest Michigan's best values, offering both a challenging design and spectacular views. The course sprawls across rolling hills sprinkled with mature trees. The dramatic elevation changes off the tee and approaches lead to the subtly undulating, medium-sized greens, which are flanked by contoured mounding. The sparse bunkering is understated but the challenge comes from their strategic placement. Water comes into play on only two holes but there are nearly 40 sand traps lurking greenside or along the landing zones off the fairways. One of the water holes is the par-3 eighth, which is the golf course's signature. It has a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water. Though there are some significant changes in elevation, the tee areas are only a short distance from the green complexes, making Grand View a nice walking course.

Love it as very few golfers enabled a slower pace of play where I could focus on improving my play…PUTTING!!
Layout is great. Greens were slow. Some fairway area were rough
Used to be nice
Its obvious after playing this course 10 years ago and revisiting that it has been let go. Trees between fairways have not been trimmed, weeds have been allowed to grow, restricitng the playability. There are some great holes here but it has not been taken care of as it should have been.
Friendly course
Very nice and friendly course. Each hole is by itself pretty much so it's nice and spread out. Course in good shape after the winter, still has some growing in when it gets warmer. I certainly will be back.Small proshop with Drinks, dogs/bratwurst. Driving range available.
New Owner Double JJ Not Taking Care Of Course!
Been playing here for years and now I am very disappointed. Was a great course and very well kept. Double JJ bought the course last year and it is very obvious the money and resources are not going into the course. Burnt grass, tees not being mowed for days at a time, cup edges grown over from not being changed. bunkers not maintained with 10 inch weeds growing in spots. Golfed on the 4th of July and our group had both carts not make it back due to not being charged. Terrible that the rates went up and now a once beautiful course is heading downhill just like the other Double JJ course The Thoroughbred. The past owners of Grandview would be disturbed to see the course these days.
Fun Course
This is a great course! Rough was thicker than normal and greens were very soft. It can be tough if you spray your t-shot.
Weird stuff.. normal for JJ ish enterprise
Well...first off...proshop could not find our Golf Now reservation...which of course we know was placed hence this review request..
Then on the 7th hole(?) Fairway is an abandoned cart...and at hole 14 we knew what that was about as our cart was almost out of juice..it died for good at 18..we pushed it up to the lot. So someone is not charging or they have not replaced batteries whose life is long over.
Gal in photoshop was apologetic but no offer of a free beer or free round...sad...but so typical of Double JJ customer service.
Grand View June 2018
My friend and I had a great round of golf. The greens and fairways were in very good shape. The roughs were a little deep and made for more difficult shots, but your supposed to be in the fairway anyway. The weather was perfect and we had the kind of round that make playing the game fun.
Fun and challenging
This course is always in good condition but I was struck by the fantastic conditions of the fairways and greens during this round. The course is fun and challenging. Any hole on the course can be easy if played correctly but make the wrong mistake and you could find yourself scrambling to prevent a big score. The ‘island’ green on 8 is always an exciting highlight. Two thumbs up!
Grandview Says it all
Beautiful course. Excellent condition friendly staff. Will definitely play again.
Always a Pleasure
Great layout and extremely friendly staff. Greens were slow, so I assume they weren’t mowed due to recent rains. Love to play this course and visit the Brown Bear in Shelby for the best burgers and broasted chicken in West Michigan!
grand view
love this course,will make the hour drive from home at least twice a year to play.very scenic,nice rolling layout,well groomed fun.only problem this time was i showed up a bit early,and even though there were no golfers anywhere in sight around the first tee,the lady in the clubhouse made us wait for two groups to go off that had not even showed up yet,kind of made me feel likesince i booked on golfnow i was second to walk on tee times,no worries though it was a beautiful day and a pleasant round
Lots of hills!
We love this course. Staff is always very friendly. Didn't even have to ask for a rain check when even using Golfnow. Each hole has it's own personality. The greens are in great shape. Over all it is a very well maintained course.
Grand View
Nice course. Fairly long with some tough holes. It sits kind of high so it is usually windier then some.
