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.

Beautiful course and views from elevated tees
Very fair course with some beautiful scenery. Their #8 island green from the elevated tee plays shorter than the yardage . Medium speed greens and nice fairways. Great value and a fun course to play.
Awesome Elevated Tees!
This course is defined by its elevated tees! They are sweet! The island green is cute on #8 but at 100 yards, it is a big enough green that you never really consider the water. But tees like #1, 3, 10, and 17 are amazing! I played much of my golf in Florida on flat courses so seeing these tremendous changes in elevation and watching the tee shots hang in the air is extremely rewarding! The greens are in great shape but were a little slow. The course is not overly challenging based on the layout but they have let the long grass and fescue grow up around the holes and it forces you to keep the ball in play. Great course to play when there are golf now deals.
Great Course !!!
The course is a beautiful course.
It should be played by everyone in the west Michigan area.
Overall great experience both with golf now.com and with Grandview staff.
Course is moderately challenging and enjoy the island 8th hole.
All around pretty fun course
Grand View golf course is a pretty solid all around hilly track. It has some fun short par 4's and some long challenging par 5's. They are known most for there island hole #8, which plays a mere 80 yards or so but still is a tricky wedge shot. The downside is the drive (from Muskegon) about 35 minutes. However, paying $20 through Golfnow.com is was well worth it. Keep the ball in the fairway and you will post well.
greens had good roll to them
greens were in good condition. Pace was ok. Price was right. Layout is very nice and some very challenging holes
Fun and challenging course!
I was visiting from out of state and had a chance to play Grand View. All I can say is I was very impressed by how well maintained this course was and how great the views were. I play all over the US and for the money, there are not many courses that compare to Grand View. I look forward to coming back next time I'm in Michigan. Highly recommend!
Best area course for your money!
This is such a beautiful course and probably the best value in West Michigan. Very well maintained and greens roll very smooth. The elevated tees make for spectacular views throughout the course and I can't wait to come back and play!
