About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6836 yards
Slope 1308
Rating 72.3

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.

Deceptively tough

This was my first time playing Greatwood. It was a lot of fun and the starter was very friendly and gave my group some useful advice for the course. Some of the fairways are tight but what really increased the difficulty level was many of the greens were elevated and small. Very challenging but a great place to work on your short game.

Decent Course

Played a twilight round and barely finished. Pace of play pretty slow. Fairways were pretty hard, probably due to the lack of rain though. Greens were decent, very small and fast. Would recommend trying out if you’re looking for a cheaper round. Isn’t worth your time if you’re paying over 40 bucks though in my opinion.

Fairways and roughs hurting from drought

I hadn’t played Greatwood since July when I got caught by not one but two heavy showers. The course looked as if it hadn’t rained since. Huge cracks from clay drying out. You need to move your ball out of them. Greens were devilishly good…fast with the big slopes on 6, 9, 10, 17 and 18.

Friday afternoon at Greatwood

Course condition was good though the greens are faster than usual (especially with all the rains in recent days). Great value for money!

Its better now

Course condition and green are much better now. The frequent rains helped golf courses around the area. This course has an excellent layout . My favorite hole is 4 Par 3. Back nine challenge your club selections.
