Greatwood Golf Club

Arrived 1 hour 15 minutes early after an hour drive and was told I could not be checked in or issued a cart for me prepaid tee time. I was invited to carry my bag and a bucket of balls several hundred yards across the parking lot, first tee box and road to the driving range. Then carry my bag back across the same obstacles in 20 minutes to be checked in. Just silly. Greens are in bad shape and fairways needed a mower. Staff never offered an explanation for the check in policy and seemed inconvenienced by my presence.

Great layout

Grass thin in areas

Greens need more attention

Greens were bumpy which meant putting was as much about luck as it was about skill. They were much better last time I played here pre Christmas.

After a week of great weather, the bunkers hadn't been raked at all. All the sand was compacted and heavy.

Staff (especially the Marshall) were friendly & helpful.

Just think it's a good layout and with a little more attention, could be so much better.

Some bad spots on fairway due to rain over the last few days, bunkers need more sands. Friendly staffs, great layout. Recommend this course

Greens were spotty and green on due to paint or fertilizer. I give them a pass due to the weather during fall and winter. Bunkers need work but also weather a big factor.

Food in grill was TERRIBLE. Worst patty melt ever. Patty dry and over cooked. Just two pieces of wheat bread (untoasted and ungrilled) with an over cooked patty with a few grilled onions. My wife’s chicken tender salad was just lettuce, a few tomatoes, and onions (requested by my wife). Nothing else. The chicken tasted like it was 4 days old.

The waitress/bartender was really good and nice though. We did not complain about food but would not eat their again.

I ran into clubhouse for our cart keys and was only allowed to get one key for our foursome due to kids running a cart into lake. I am a 43 yo Dr. which was on my prebooking also, it is not likely I fit the profile. We went on to have to push our cart up hills in the front nine and swapped it out for the back.

The greens were in awful shape and for $57 I expected better, much better. The tee boxes were also uneven a lot which was annoying. As a scratch golfer, I expect to at least have that. The game is hard enough. Not sure if previous reviews were even real because there is no way the greens deteriorated to the extent I saw over a week. The staff was very nice which was a positive.

Nice course, somehow challenging but not too difficult as long as you stay out of the water.

pace of play was slow due to novices playing ahead and cart path only conditions. The greens were running fast and conditions were sloppy due to previous weather.

Moderate to difficult course. Lots of water to clean up your old golf balls. Good course will visit again.

Overall the course was in good shape. The greens were a little slow and the fairways weren’t pristine but certainly playable. Played the back tees which made some holes play fairly long and made the course more challenging as a result. I played early afternoon on a Monday and basically had the course to myself. I think this course offers very good value for the money and is my go-to when I’m trying to get a quick round in.

Course was wet but in good shape. Felt the course Marshall pushed us a little more than we should have been, since the groups behind and in front of us were less than a foursome.
