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.

Course need help
Greens bad, sand bunkers very bad, fairways need grass, and tee boxes ok.
Most ok but greens are bumpy
Most of the course was good but the greens were bumpy. Not really take. Care of.
I feel the greens are the most important part of the course to be maintained.
Greens were horrible
Greens in horrible condition with lots of weeds. Me and the group i was playing with quit after 16 because of how long it took. 5 1/2 hours for 16 holes is ridiculous.
Great Potential, Needs some maintenance
This course has a lot of potential, but I found it generally run down and the greens were very bumpy (3/23/2025). The layout was nice, the neighborhood is beautiful, the course is challenging. However, the rough conditions of the greens, markings, bathrooms, water stations, ball cleaning stations, tee markers, etc. just seemed like a course that could be so great was being somewhat neglected. I don't expect perfection, but it seemed like perhaps the minimum was being done and it wasn't be closely watched and maintained for the price they offer it at. It was also a windy day, great temperature and sunny. The course could really be something. I think it needs some repair and better maintenance though.
They control
They control everything, pushed to play fast even though no one was behind us and the carts are under their control so don’t try to go to far.
Greatwood Golf
The greens are rough. Extremely slow and bumpy. The tee boxes are very hard. Takes two hands to get a tee in the ground.
Great course layout.
To back this little gem is not been maintained,
The greens were dead except for the pawns grass. The facility was just plain dirty and the smell in the restrooms was horrible. The holes are designed in a fun way but you feel like you are driving to another county between holes.
Greens
I don't mind clumps of long-fescue grass, which are a weed to Bermuda grass golf courses, but they are all over the greens which makes them un-puttable.
Poorly maintained and below standard
At first look from the parking area the clubhouse look great, making a strong first impression. However, once inside, the clubhouse appears very run-down, with leaves scattered everywhere—even inside the pro shop. The clubhouse is in serious need of a makeover.
The locker room was filled with broken chairs, and there was no paper available for your hands.
As for the course, the fairways were extremely dry, and the greens were in terrible condition—putting straight was nearly impossible.
I believe both the course and clubhouse have the potential to be excellent, but in their current state, they are poorly maintained and below standard. I hope to see improvements in the future, but for the $75 green fee that I paid, I would choose a different course every time.
Great course - Needs TLC
I have always loved the layout of Greatwood, but it really needs some water! Fairways are bare and not much greenery at all. Greens are bare as well slick, which is not a bad thing but could be a bit more consistent with the crab-grass growing in a few areas, which throw off puts somewhat. Again love the layout, hopefully a little more Spring showers and this will be a top-notch course again!
