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.

Great place to ply golf!
Played at Greatwoods Golf Club—excellent place to play and AWSOME Twilight fees! The course is beautiful and challenging. You will love this place!
Horrible course etiquette by grounds crew. They would not even stop mowing around the green while we putted. The sand traps were horrible. The greens were very inconsistent. The boxes are unlevel at least grass in the fairway.
Not like the old days...but still good
I played Greatwood back in the 90's when it was relatively new...30 years and it has changed. While not the premiere course it once was, it is still a nice set up. Greens and fairways were in good shape, but tee boxes could use some water.
Major complaint is that they say it is 90 degrees with carts, but they have so many fairway boundaries up that many times you end up playing like it is cart path only. Also be prepared for carts to shut down even in the fairway.
Technical
The course is in great shape. The greens keeper was probably laughing at us do to the pin placement. There is a lot of water and bunkers. Very challenging!
Beautiful Course
I wish they could fix the greens! It’s a beautiful course but greens were in terrible condition
Dated and in need of an overhaul
The curse and club aren't aging well. Decor in the clubhouse is dated, dark and dusty. Staff at the check in counter was very friendly, but that was the highlight of the day. The course was in serious need of TLC, especially the greens which were just bare, bumpy and generally in pretty terrible shape.
I Should Have Known Better
Most of the greens were rough and very patchy. The greens that were full were nice and had some speed to them. Course is in need of some water!! Tee boxes were hard like most of the course and you could barely get a tee in a couple of them.
All that wasn’t the problem…. The lack of a Marshall or a Marshall who knows their job is the issue. Pace of play was horrible!!! 4.5hours for 12 holes and it was so backed up we just quit!! I counted 2 sixsomes on the way in along with foursomes and twosomes mixed in!! When we passed the Marshall he said he just broke up an sixsome into a 4 & 2 some and pace should pick up. On the 13th hole when we quit there were 2 foursomes waiting to tee off and a foursome on the tee box!!!
When I attempted to speak with the young lady in the Pro Shop, I might as well have been speaking a foreign language!!
It’s my understanding the owner used to own a driving range and a par 3 course…. If that’s the case, it explains how it’s being run! Needless to say, won’t be back! Spend a little more somewhere else and you’ll be happier!
Layout is fun
The greens were in rough shape. Pace of play was good for an 8am tee time. Staff is very good.
