South Granville Country Club

Course conditions are terrible. The hardest greens I’ve ever played, fairways are just poorly mowed weeds and the rough might as well be considered waste. Landed multiple greens and my ball bounced well over 10’ in the air on nearly all of them. It was almost impressive.

I keep giving this course a chance because green fees are low and the layout is nice, but course management is well below par.

The layout of the course is fun and moderately challenging; plenty of water to play over and large greens. The course staff is also great! However, that's about it for positive feedback. The fairways are awful, full of weeds, and rock hard; unless you hit a high spin, high trajectory drive, the chances of you landing the fairway and taking multiple bounces into the rough are very high. Even if you do manage to get the ball to stop in the fairway, good luck trying to find it in the weeds; I walked past my ball 3 times in the fairway before I finally caught a glimpse of it under a massive broadleaf weed. If the fairways weren't bad enough, the rough could be rightfully considered waste area; good luck finding a ball even 3 feet off the fairway. 40% of the greens that I landed, had a 10-foot bounce and you'd be better off putting in the parking lot, it would likely be softer. I want to love this course because it's close to the house and has so much potential, but it's just not even worth the low green fees and short drive. Brevofield used to be very much like this, but they've really stepped their game up and the course has really turned around! But I'll wait 30 minutes in line on a busy morning at Brevo before I even think about considering SGA again.

Very bad course. Greens look nice but are very slow with lots of slope. This caused several 3 putts.

My first time playing this course. There are both pros and cons in my review.

Tee’s: Need work, they are worn, uneven and very hard. It’s difficult to put a tee in the ground.

Fairways: Inconsistent, enough grass to drop a ball if you end up in a bare spot, but there are a significant number of burnt out spots. With dry conditions you can get a lot of roll, but it may also lead to bad bounces that will end up in the rough.

Rough: Not really defined, just where they stopped mowing. It is thin, so you can find you ball in most cases,.

Greens: These are the highlight of the course. They are well manicured and run true for the most part. They are also quite challenging with many pin placements in difficult positions.many have significant undulations and gradient. It is very possible to turn a close 8 foot putt into an 18 foot putt if you putting down hill.

Vista’s This is a pretty course with multiple lakes, streams, hills, meadows and woods. Best of all, no houses.

Layout: This is not a cookie cutter course. Holes are unique, narrow in some cases and challenging. This also brings me to a negative point. There are multiple holes with blind shots. Playing a course for the fist time is frustrating when you have no idea what your hitting into. I lost a few balls just because I had no idea what happened after they landed.

I have been passing this place for years and never considered playing. today, was the day that I stopped by to play a round. I am pleasantly surprised. I will be returning to play more rounds.

Officially removing from the playlist - greens are good, nothing else is.

It’s ALWAYS soaking wet

Greens and traps are good. Course routing is interesting and provides variety. But the tee boxes and the fairways are a mess. Way too many bare spots, you have to play "lift clean and place" and hope there is a patch of actual grass within a club length. Can't go back until ownership invests in the grass, they should close 9 holes and work on fixing them and then close the other 9 the following year.

Let's start with the friendly staff and go from there.

1. Outstanding greens. Please don't cut them down

2. Layout is most challenging and fulfilling

3. Traps and surrounding bunkers are excellent.

A couple of recommendations.

1. Rotate the tee boxes. 50% were over used.

2. Pray for rain!

Excellent day of golf. Thank you

The staff was super friendly and the price was right for a Friday afternoon round, but the course needs some serious maintenance. Cart paths were disastrous in some areas and the grass needed a lot of attention throughout the course. There’s also minimal amenities, just the club house with a cooler and some snacks. However the rates are appropriate for the course.

The course greens are very nice and well maintained. They are night and day better than other courses at this price range I have played recently. The fairways are hard as a rock in some places and clubs will be scraped up if taking a shot off these patches of ground.

Pace of play and course conditions are not in a good spot now. Some fairways are clay and gravel. Paid $25 for 18, only played 9 holes because it took 2 hours 45 mins. Course has a beyond decent design. Greens rolled very slow but were true. Some pin locations were on a slope.

Good course for the price. Early in the year so conditions were not fantastic but certainly playable

Very busy Saturday. Took over 3 hours for just the front 9 in a cart. Staff was not amenable to moving parties around to handle some slow groups.

Greens were in decent shape but challenging. Rest of the course’s grass isn’t doing so well, especially when wet and soggy.
