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.

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.
A gem of a course that gets bettef with age!
This course was great when it was brand new, and has aged very well. it is scenic and extremely well laid out; a joy to play. Plus feature, it is in Oceana County, one of West Michigan's lovliest!
Great course
First time out, and it may well become our new favorite in the area.
Good fall value
Good layout. Always best conditions in the fall. Excellent greens. Could speed up the fairways. Number 8 is best short par three in the area..
we had fun despite cold wet conditions.
Had course to ourselves. No one else was that crazy to play. For this late in the season the course was in good shape.
Great condition. Nice track.
A fun course. Challenging, but fair. A good value and fun to play.
Enjoyable
The course was not crowded so no problem with pace of play finished in a little over 2 hours. Conditions very good.
Great course for the money!
Great course in great condition. I highly reccommend this course! Well worth the drive.
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.
This course is forgiving
Most fairways are pretty open. Great course for all levels of experience. Will definitely be back. Hit em straight .
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.
Very well groomed & foliage simply wonderful!
This place is a Jewel, everything was perfect- I actually played 6 strokes better than usual, I would attribute that to fast & well maintained greens!
Love the course
Great course. The grounds, the greens were great. I love playing this course and have played it for the past 5 years.
beatuful layout
The course was in great shape. The play time was excellent. Had a great time.
