Grand Traverse Resort & Spa

Course is in great condition

Greens are great and fast

Played in 3 1/2 hours

The course and staff were excellent. I wish the club house was available to grab a drink and hotdog after the turn. The course also needs restrooms on the course.

And buy a yardage book if they have one. This course would be much more playable if it had GPS, but it does not. I have played here a few times and still struggled to know exactly where to hit the ball. I hit it exactly has I wanted and where I wanted only to find it in trouble.

Fortunately we paired up with another twosome part way through the round and they were very helpful.

Great condition and perfect weather made for a great time. I will be back.

Very nice course! Hold 2,3,4 are very tough. Great layout

If you can find a "hot deal" on golf now, this is definitely the best course in the area.

Difficult but fair course. Must hit fairways to score well here. The rough is basically half-stroke penalty. Lots of water hazards, especially on par 3s. No easy up & downs if you miss the greens, very severe bunkering. Greens were not nearly as difficult as I was expecting, but still pretty soft and not firm and fast. Will play again in Fall when The Bear fully awakened from hibernation.

Slow play made it unlovable. 5and a half hours on a Wednesday, ridiculous

Great early season golf! Paired up with a tremendous young golfer from Traverse City and a retired fellow from Chicago. My wife and I had a great afternoon of TC golf. Our only complaint was no refreshments at the turn. The bar was closed and we were told to go to the towers, where we couldn’t drive our cart. A little coordination between the pro shop and the bar would have easily resolved this problem! But, overall a Tremendous afternoon. And the Wolverine was in spectacular condition for April!!

Course is in great shape for this early in the season! Greens are in good condition, slow roll to be expected. Starter was super guy and pro shop staff were terrific, but couldn’t get a pop or beer at the turn at 5:30, fellow at the bar said we had to go to the towers for beverages. No time for that, and carts can’t go there! All in all, everything else was terrific and were paired with a tremendous young golfer (and super young man) from TC and a Chicago transplant. A truly enjoyable round!

I live near the Bear course, but had never played it before. I always thought it was too expensive. Then I got a deal on tee off .com and went to play with a friend. It’s a great course. Very fun to play. Challenging but not intimidating.

It's not worth the $150 they charge during peak times, but $75 in the fall on golfnow is great. Definitely a course you should try to play when you're in the area.

Most people don’t play this because there are 2 other courses to play there the bear and the wolverine I think this one is just as hard as the bear especially the first 6 holes

Enjoyed playing the course, staff was friendly, course was in decent condition. Had a little bad luck, as course wasn't too busy, but we had a very slow foursome in front of us. There was nobody in front of them but they didn't et us play through. We would have hopped in front of them but there were groups behind us so we would have missed a few holes. There wasn't a ranger to speed them up,, so we had a very slow round. Other than that enjoyed the day. Clubhouse great place to relax and have a bite to eat
