Grand View Golf Course
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.

ohter than getting only 9 holes in it was tough due to rain on half of holes...
Grandview worth the trip
Scenic well laid out golf course requires you to use every club in your bag and to think and hit good golf shots to shoot a good score without penalizing you too harshly for poorly played shots. Holes are spaced so you can see others playing while not interfering with your round of golf. Parking lot had plenty of cars but the pace of play was surprisingly good with minimal waiting (expect to play in less than 3 and a half hours for 18 holes). Fall colors should be spectacular with amazing elevated views on quite a few holes.
Friendly staff, including a beautiful lady in the clubhouse willing to satisfy your every need before and after the round. Worth the drive for the price, playable for all skill levels, and would recommend playing again, I will definitely be back
Great Course/Excellent Value
We love playing this course several times a year! It is always in excellent condition. Elevated tees, gorgeous views and each hole is unique. It presents a challenge for the men and is fair to the ladies.
Fun course at great price
Mixture of fair and challenging holes. Island green is most often into the prevailing making for extra excitement.
Awesome course!
This is an absolutely beautiful course, so if you get an opportunity to play or are from out of town, I highly recommend this course. You will love it!
Fun course
We always enjoy playing Grandview.....sorry to see the cherry orchard removed.
Best value on the Lakeshore
If it was closer to my home I would purchase a membership
good time
We played 18 holes and was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. Very lush and green. We will go back again.
Lush...as nice an island par 3 anywhere
Very nice to play if you can stay out of rough by shooting straight. Otherwise you are in for a long day!
Ho;iday golf
Great place to play just before the fireworks!
Beautiful course
What a terrific way to cap off our holiday weekend. This course is so beautiful. And, we played for a great rate as well. You'll love the pace of play.
Best 1st time ever
Great course! We played it for the first time yesterday (walked 18). Great elevation changes. Severe dog legs. Hole #8 is 108 (from blue) par 3 with an Island green. Hole #11 has water in front of green. I'd recommend this course to all. It's very challenging!
Great layout
Really enjoyed the course layout. Lots of different shots required with doglegs, uphill, downhill, and an island green. Definitely well worth the Golfnow price!
wes
course was in great shape.alway enjoy playing here.
Nice course, quite challenging
At my playing level, it is a challenging course, but for this time of year, in surprizingly good shape. Would recommend this course to anyone at whatever level they play
Great course!
This is a course you have to play. Course is in excellent shape. Cant beat this course for the value.
Fantastic course close to the dunes.
While camping with friends, some of us broke off and decided to play 18 holes. We arrived early, and walked right on the course. The holes were well designed, and took advantage of all the great rolling hills in the area. We enjoyed the game quite a bit.
