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.

The course was in good shape way better than a couple of years ago.Did enjoy the new carts with the gps.
Cow pasture with greens?
First time playing the course. If Greatwood was great when it first opened it’s Mediocre-wood now.
Practice area was poorly maintained; some fairways were open dirt and unplayable. The greens were the only well maintained aspect of the course.
Can’t say much about staff as we never saw any on the course after a fairly terse greeting from the Starter. At a few points we could have used a marshal to speed up play (4.5 hours; guy playing said the say before was 5); we waited on every hole; while having the threesome behind us hit into us on several holes.
Given the price they charged I was not expecting much and in that sense I was still underwhelmed. Essentially they are comparable to tracks charging 1/2 as much.
Needless to say the next weekend my club is closed for tournament play I will seek out another course.
Getting better slowly
Looks like the slumlord owners are finally spending a few Pennie’s on the course.
New carts
Applaud the efforts to upgrade with new GPS equipped carts but ours and the guy in front of us were malfunctioning, hopefully they can fix that. Lot's of maintenance around the course with cart path only holes made for a slower pace, looking forward to the end result of the work
Greatwood Not so Great
Front 9 ok. But back 9 a nightmare to too much water and too many sand traps. It was very frustrating to hit blind and there’s water.
There’s a huge drainage ditch which winds all around. I am not a long hitter, but come on, from Whites I would have had to lay up. From Womens tee, which I used, I cannot imagine most women even able to hit over.
So close and cost is good, but looks like I have to move on.
ALSO cart kept locking up even when we were in path! They said “we are working on it”.
Great weather, poor golf course conditions
This course needs a lot of work...There is no grass on some fairways ...The tee boxes need work done
Good value
Course conditions pretty good for this time of year. Busy but okay speed of play.
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.
