About
Greatwood is known for its white sand bunkers and impressive par 3s, three of which play right at or over 200 yards. The 1989 Carlton Gipson design features elevated tees and greens that sandwich plush fairways and are contoured with mounds.
The 434-yard par 4 hole 5 is one difficult par, featuring a fairways loaded with bunkers and involves water on the approach. No. 18 goes 576, yards. While the tee shot is fairly standard, the second shot must land short of a plateau and might involve a blind approach shot if placed too far to the left. The intimidating approach plays into a green surrounded by water on three sides.
Getting there : From Hwy. 59 south, turn left on Crab River Rd., then make a left onto the other side of Hwy. 59. Look for Greatwood Pkwy. and make another left when you get there.

Difficult golf course
It’s a difficult golf course
Much water in many holes
This can be challenging if your golf level is high
Excellent course
It's winter time, so the course isn't green. Great condition for the time of year. I imagine the course will be beautiful in the spring. Tough course. Can't wait to return.
Excellent
We had a fantastic round, staff was accommodating. Greens were in good condition
Could be great
I love the layout and the staff is super friendly. Unfortunately, the owners keep shrinking the greens and have failed to put ANY TLC into the course in the last 5 years.
Amenities lacking, dry and hard
No water stations and no cart girl, bar at clubhouse lacking food variety. Fairways were very hard. Lots of water on this course. Greens were ok.
Price is Right
The course is a wonderful 18 challenging holes and was generally in good shape. Cart paths are cracked and uneven, but so is every other mature course in this area with oak tree roots spreading out under cart paths and fairways. Negatives: Trash cans throughout the course were overflowing and hadn’t been emptied in days. Golf carts were filthy and full of tobacco cans, wrappers and dirt. Skeleton staff was working hard, but not enough bar staff was on hand to keep up with demand. Starter was very helpful and friendly. Interior of clubhouse is dated, worn, and in need of updating. Glass cupola above the beautiful Christmas Tree is covered in cobwebs and dirt.
Excellent condition, slow play
The greens were fast and in great condition. Fairways and bunkers were excellent as well. The only draw back was slow play on several holes.
No carts
We had a 115pm tee time. On arrival at 1245, there were no carts available. And the 3 groups in front of us had no carts. We finally got a cart that was out of juice at 200pm. We barely finished our round because the no one was monitoring pace of play.
On top of that, the actually grounds and fairways were not taken care of very well. I ve played here several times but this was by far the worst.
Too crowded.
We had to wait for a cart just to get started. When we arrived at the first tee there were two groups stacked up waiting. We played 5 holes in 2 hours. Painfully slow. Whoever is scheduling the tee times is failing. The price is good on golfnow, but it’s still not worth it when you can’t finish 9 holes.
