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.

Great Course - Great Condition

Earlier in the summer a friend had mentioned that the course was getting a little rough around the edges.
There was no evidence of that yesterday.

The entire course was lush and green. The fairways and greens were in beautiful condition. I've always loved the way they double cut some of the area providing that "Resort Course" appearance. If you haven't played here, every whole is unique, you check it out.

Really is a great view

Wife and I played and both enjoyed the course. Challenging but fair for typical golfer. Lots of interesting aspects to layout like elevations. Would have even higher rating for value but fairways a little patchy. Greens true, quick and a challenge to read.

July at Grand View

The course was in excellent condition. Far better than what I am used to seeing with East Coast public courses. With the exception of green number 11 the greens are perfect. My only complaint regarding the greens is the number of ball marks that were left unrepaired. I must have fixed 50 yesterday . The other suggestion I would make is offering out of town players, like me, some course notes so we are more aware of blind trouble areas. It's not good when what appears to be a perfect shot is negated because of a drastically sloping fairway sending the ball into dense rough.

Scenic Course

Grand View is a beautiful course. Not too difficult, but not without some challenges, like the par 3 island number 8 hole.

You would pay much more to play this quality of course anywhere else.

Grand View is what you get

The course is a great challenge for an advanced golfer. Many holes will require a shaped tee shot and a good approach. For the average duffer, the course may be a little difficult. But this is offset by the course conditions in the view you get during the play. The price without GolfNow seems fair, but using GolfNow made a great deal.

Beautiful course

This course has some of the best views as you rome your way through the hills. Large greens that roll true and very well kept course throughout the entire property (not just tee to green) make this one of my favorite courses in west michigan.
