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.

Excellent Value and Fun Course
Try and play here at least once a year, this was my first time this year, and glad I made it out. Thoroughly enjoyed my round, the course was playing as great and fun as always! Highly recommend playing here.
This course is in great condition.
Beautiful course with rolling hills and wonderful views. Challenging course that is in great condition. Well worth the full price but if you can get a discount you might as well be stealing! Definitely one of the best public courses you will ever play.
Steve
Course and greens were quite dry. Greens were long and slow and varied from front side to back side.
Awesome day!
GolfNow provided a great price during s hot deal special. The course was well groomed and was a challenging course with hills, rocks, and water. We would definitely take advantage of future specials.
A Very Nice Course, but...
I love this course and I usually make the drive and play it 4 to 6 times a year. It is beautiful and it is challenging without being gimmicky.
Ordinarily the greens are pristine and fast, but this year so far they are shaggy and too slow for good putting. I suspect that this is because it has been so cold in Michigan this spring that they are protecting the greens from frost. But, when the weather improves, I hope the greens return to their normal condition.
Best Groomed course in western Michigan
If it was closer Id play this course before I would others in the area
If you like fast greens you will love this course
Great course, good course conditions, very fast greens. Loved it!
The course is in great shape
Grandview golf course is in excellent shape! I try and make it to this course at least once a year, and it never disappoints. The course is a little short from the white tees, however, the blues will increase the difficulty. Also, the course is hilly adding to this wonderful courses features. The short 98 yard par three island green is always fun. The greens were true and in great condition. The best part of my round was slam dunking a 65 yard approach out of the sand on hole 10 for an eagle! Overall this course is fun and I would recommend it to any of my friends.
Pristine Shape
What a great course in west Michigan! The course is in great shape and I think it's even more scenic than the Thoroughbred at Double J. Can't wait to go back. Staff is very friendly and I enjoyed the round we played!
Favorite Course
This is truly one of our favorite courses to play. The course is always maintained very well and the staff is very friendly. It's always a great experience to play Grand View.
This course is a well maintained course.
Grand View is a very playable, yet challenging course. The greens are in great shape and roll true. Shot selection is key as this isn't your typical bomb and go course. You'll enjoy this course!!!
hilly, curvy, difficult but fun!
Best to stay in the fairway as many of the holes are divided by tall grass and weedy bushes. I lost 6 brand new balls, but found 12! Still, a very pretty course, but challenging, lots of fun.
This course is beautiful
First time booking with Golfnow, good experience. Course was ready for us. Course is in excellent condition. A real value in Northern Michigan
Best course I played for the price on the Lakeshore.
Course played fairly difficult only because it was my first time on it and didn't know the layout. Lots of hills, elevated tee shots were awesome! Greens were not easy. Very fun course and will play again for sure!
Greens were near perfect and the balls rolled true. The course affords spectacular views of West Michigan's fruit orchards.
Grandview Golf Course has been a favorite since it opened in 1994 and is a fun and fair challenge to golfers with intermediate to advanced skills. While not extremely long I don't suggest "beginners" to attempt it alone or with other beginners as pace of play is geared to more experienced players.
Great, scenic course
Great scenic course. Will definitely play again. Enjoyed the course.
One of our favorite courses
Great layout and no crowds is the reason we like it so much. Plus low rates and friendly staff only adds to the value of Grandview! Played it 3 times last week, and 3 times this week.
Fun course
Fair and challenging grounds where in great shape good deal for money off golfnow.
Challenging greens!
First time user. Wasn't sure if reservation would be there. It was! staff was very friendly and the course was in great shape
.
Numerous elevation changes and the course was in good condition.
We played the blue tees and it was an enjoyable challenge. The back to back par fives on the back nine are interesting.
