Great Place to Play

Magellan golf course was in excellent condition. The greens were fast and flawless, and the fairways were absolutely lush. I loved the course layout and condition. The elevation changes made the course even better. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a great place to play. It's now one of my new favorite courses.

Another HSV Winner

Solid course, the value exceeds the cost paid. All facilities in good shape. Bent grass is suffering in spots due to the heat and dryness in July but sure to be excellent soon. Not bad now! Busy course and played a bit slow due to art path only. Enjoy a round here! Will return....

Plan a vacation near Granada

Played this course right after a summer downpour and it was still phenomenal. Drove up in a drenching downpour, cancelled the round, then began looking for a course out of the path of the storm. Began to clear off unexpectedly and then had the course to ourselves. It was fantastic!

Course condition was excellent. Tee boxes, fairways, greens - everything was done in an excellent fashion. Water drained well too. Layout was challenging and yet manageable for the average golfer. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Fellow golfers were very friendly as well. Read a review that must have gotten cross with someone, we never met that person.

Will continue to play in Hot Springs Village here and her other courses.

Great courses

Arrived at the course early to eat lunch but the restaurant was closed because they were in the process of changing vendors. The pro shop did have several drinks and snacks so they their part to help out. The course was great and in great condition and the staff was very friendly. No complaints at all. Great driving, chipping and putting range!

Great course if you want a quick round!

This is an executive course which means it's all par 3's and 4's. (Total 62) but it's challenging and is in excellent shape! 10 of the holes are par 3's with the shortest at 132 and the longest at 186 so you'll definitely hit a range of clubs. The staff was very friendly. No complaints at all!

Rude Staff

The course was nice and in good condition, but the staff was rude. The young gentleman in the pro shop apparently has "big fish in a small pond" syndrome and was very condescending. While we did have the first tee time after an outing, and did not expect food to be available, apparently it was too much trouble for the bartender to fill cup with ice and a Diet Coke, even as the event was wrapping up. We golfed the Isabella, Ponce, De Soto and Coronado courses where each had extremely friendly and courteous staff. Would not make another tee time at Granada nor recommend it due to staff.

Outstanding value!

Really fun golf course with a variety of different holes. The elevation changes create some interesting shots as well. My only complaint would be the lack of yardages available on sprinkler heads scattered around the course.

Good Day

Isabella Golf Course is a nice course with lots of distance between the holes. The conditions were wet because it rained the night before, but the course still played good. I impressed with the condition of the course.

Another good example of how good golf is in Hot Springs Village

Like Granada, the 27 holes at Isabella is terrific golf. That I liked Granada more is the only reason I'm giving Isabella four instead of five stars, but it's barely a notch below. Like all these courses here, it's very playable, there are great views and conditions are superb. There aren't as many elevated tees and uphill shots as there are on Granada, but the course is plenty interesting. The ninth hole, by the way, on the Santa Maria nine is a bear, no matter what tees you play.

Check all the categories at Granada Golf Club

I've said it many times: The most important characteristic of a course is was it fun, memorable and playable. In the case of Granada Golf Club in wonderful Hot Springs Village, I couldn't give it higher marks in those three categories. From the get-go, you've got wide fairways, beautiful views, topography change and memorable holes. Add in great conditioning, beautiful bentgrass greens and sparkling water hazards, and what's not to enjoy? No, they're not going to hold a U.S. Open here, but get on the back tees at almost 7,200 yards, and it's all the golf course you want. Yet., if you play it from the proper tees you have a chance to score.

Interesting holes and many elevation changes.

Well groomed. Tough but fair. Many interesting holes with different challenges. Ball drops down in the rough but the grass isn't too thick to get out.

Great Track

The course is in excellent shape. Great layout with changing elevation. The greens held and were a little bumpy due to all the approach shots.

Incredible Course

Incredible course, pretty tough from the tips. It's a big course, wide fairways, but long and lots of elevation changes. Impeccably maintained.
