Grand Traverse Resort & Spa

The front nine is as much challenge as you want depending on the tees you choose, while the back 9 is less challenging but after the front nine you are ready to have fun. Very enjoyable, have played often and will play more in the future.

The staff was very friendly and helpful to any questions we had. The course was in great shape and we enjoyed our round of golf the the scenic views of the area.

Not very well marked for a public course. I hit the best drive of the day only to have it run out into the hazard since there was no indication as to how far it was to the hazard.

My wife played with me and this cousre is very unfair to women. Many of the forced carries are to long for the average female golfer.

This cousre has four men's tees and no real women's tees.

My wife bailed after 9, a single joined me ND he filed on hole 12. On 13 I had two other groups still waiting to hit. I called the pro shop, the ranger said it was all booked. There exists no excuse for expecting someone to have round that exceeds 5 hours. The course layout and condition were not able to offset my EXTREME DISSAPPOINTMENT.

Course is great. 2 older couples both playing slow and not playing ready golf. Makes for long waits on a hot day.

Spruce is the oldest of the three courses here at GT Resort so it gets overlooked. Course is in amazing shape and is challenging without being brutal like The Bear.

Give it a chance you might be surprised.

The staff and amenities at this resort are excellent. The Spruce Run 18 was a good challenge for a group of moderate handicap couples. The fairways are immaculate and the greens were fast and challenging. The outdoor dining for lunch was also excellent - both service and food. We had a very enjoyable experience.

They/You put us immediately behind a Sunday morning golf tournament?! We were 3 1/2 hours into 10 holes when I asked the starter to go pack to hole 1 and play the front again. Ridiculous!!!!!

Played here after the Bear. Definitely not as upscale as the Bear or in as pristine condition, but after getting beat up on that course it was more than welcome to play Spruce. Still a fun layout with some interesting holes. Greens were far more approachable, the course was not as long and wind did not come into play as much. Good amount of elevation changes, doglegs, bunkers, and water. Still about 25% overpriced for the experience. Not a bucket list course, wasn't really affordable either at $80/round.
