Greatwood Golf Club
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.

Stay away save your money!
Course is in terrible shape especially the greens and the bugs were out thick (gnats mosquitoes)
Tire tracks on the fairway some of the bunkers were rock hard
Not worth What they charge for the green fees.
Not worth the money
I have been playing this golf course for nearly 4 years, and each year, the course conditions continue to progressively get worse. Greens are atrocious; they’ve been categorically lost..
This is not meant to be hyperbolic: no green is playable...there isn’t a true putting surface anywhere on the course. Ordinarily, good greens can make up for mediocre course conditions, but in this case, the greens act as a summary of course neglect.
Paying $20 for a round here is too much. I expect that the coming heat of the summer months will further destroy what is already an ignored layout. If the owners could manage to contract a legitimate SI or agronomist, then I would likely invite another round.
For now, stay away from this golf course
Sandy
Greens had been sanded. They were pretty rough. Traps were unplayable. All the sand was washed out.
Very poor greens
Greens were very patchy, in very bad shape. You can’t putt true because of how bad they are causing several strokes
What a joke
2/3 of the greens aren’t playable, not a soul seen performing any morning maintenance whatsoever. The practice green is indicative of most greens in the course which is horrific. What the heck happened to this once solid course?
Course need some recovery time. Fairways ok but greens not in good shape!! Sand traps need sand, some like hit off hard pan.
Alway like the layout!
Rock hard
To start with the carts for this course are in dire need of maintenance. The first one sounded like the transmission was going to drop out of it so I exchanged it for a second one Little did I know the parking brake on that one does not work. They dressed the greens today which should have little effect on how those greens play they're very hard fast and very dry. The fairways are extremely dry as well and the tee boxes are also very dry I broke a couple of tees today trying to place them in the ground in the tee boxes.
The course plays shorter than what it really is because the ground is so hard your ball will roll a substantially longer distance. Forget about trying to get it to stop cuz that's not going to happen. It's like I played this course twice today, it's the first and last time. This course needs a lot of water and more maintenance than what it has.
Greens
Golf course lost its first few greens. The 1st hole was the worst
Great Practice
If your looking to improve everything but your putting it is worth the price. The greens are a bit sandy and bumpy but the rest of the course was in good condition. Paying less than $20 for a round is well worth it.
Don’t arrive early
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.
Good for the money
Great layout
Grass thin in areas
Greens need more attention
Could be a great place to play
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.
Good layout
Some bad spots on fairway due to rain over the last few days, bunkers need more sands. Friendly staffs, great layout. Recommend this course
could be better
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.
Needs security? And Pushed our cart
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.
