Best course I played for the price on the Lakeshore.

Course played fairly difficult only because it was my first time on it and didn't know the layout. Lots of hills, elevated tee shots were awesome! Greens were not easy. Very fun course and will play again for sure!

Challenging course layout.

The course is not maintained as well as it used to be. The guy in the pro shop needs a lesson in customer service. He barely acknowledged us and then tossed us a cart key and grumbled the cart #. That was his total conversation with us.

Greens were near perfect and the balls rolled true. The course affords spectacular views of West Michigan's fruit orchards.

Grandview Golf Course has been a favorite since it opened in 1994 and is a fun and fair challenge to golfers with intermediate to advanced skills. While not extremely long I don't suggest "beginners" to attempt it alone or with other beginners as pace of play is geared to more experienced players.

Big, beautiful challenging course.

Can't say enough good things about my experience booking and playing this awesome course. Greens were perfect and fairways/tees well manicured. The staff allowed me to change my tee time from 3pm to 8am. Overall, five-star rating.

Great Course at a Great Price!

I would give this course a 5 star rating but I felt that some of my best shots were from the rough. The fairways are almost always severely sloped. Sometimes, hitting from the fairway, I felt as if I was awkwardly shooting from the rim of a sand trap. Otherwise, very well maintained, beautiful, links style course that is definitely a "must play" if you're in the area.

Beautifull golf course through the woods

Nice variety of holes. Some are very challenging, some not so challenging. Beautifully greens.

wonderful course

This course is a treat to play. Very challenging with trouble lurking on every hole. Wonderful wooded setting. I played this last year and the bunkers were the only problem spots on the course. They have addressed the bunkers and now everything is in great shape. This course deserves more attention and play than it receives. It's a great track!

One of our favorite courses

Great layout and no crowds is the reason we like it so much. Plus low rates and friendly staff only adds to the value of Grandview! Played it 3 times last week, and 3 times this week.

Numerous elevation changes and the course was in good condition.

We played the blue tees and it was an enjoyable challenge. The back to back par fives on the back nine are interesting.

Beautiful course and views from elevated tees

Very fair course with some beautiful scenery. Their #8 island green from the elevated tee plays shorter than the yardage . Medium speed greens and nice fairways. Great value and a fun course to play.

Awesome Elevated Tees!

This course is defined by its elevated tees! They are sweet! The island green is cute on #8 but at 100 yards, it is a big enough green that you never really consider the water. But tees like #1, 3, 10, and 17 are amazing! I played much of my golf in Florida on flat courses so seeing these tremendous changes in elevation and watching the tee shots hang in the air is extremely rewarding! The greens are in great shape but were a little slow. The course is not overly challenging based on the layout but they have let the long grass and fescue grow up around the holes and it forces you to keep the ball in play. Great course to play when there are golf now deals.

A Great Course!

Great service. The layout is challenging, yet fun. The course condition was excellent. Played The Bear in Traverse City the week previous and I felt this course was overall a much better experience.
