Grandover Resort & Spa

Greens were a little sandy but overall good conditions for mid April

Overall, course is in very good shape for this time of year. Greens and fairways are coming in pretty well! Greens role very true , but need to fill in a little more. Pace of play was great. The food amenities were average today. Still an overall great value!

Played the West course on 4/11/22

Question at the Pro Shop prior to our round: “is this your first time playing here?”

Our answer: “yes, it is”

Response: “oh great, hope you enjoy it, you’re playing the west course which is across the road”

So off we go. Brought a 32oz water from home, hoping maybe for $76/ea there is a beverage cart with snacks on course. Or if not we’ll just get something at the turn since the small cooler on the side of the cart had been partially filled with ice prior to us taking the cart.

Play 9, get to the turn and we haven’t seen a beverage cart. Not the worst thing ever, courses we play are normally hit or miss on having one. Roll up to the restaurant at the turn…big sign in the window: “CLOSED”. The kicker: the water fountain was off and the bathrooms were locked. So in my head I’m thinking “Oh alright, that’s weird, but it’s cool, we’ll just go to the pro shop/restaurant/pub at the main hotel area.” Happens to be some maintenance guys there getting ready to do some landscaping so we ask them how far to the pro shop and restaurant…their reply, “oh it’s a long way, I don’t know why this restaurant isn’t open or why the water fountain is off or bathrooms aren’t unlocked…we can’t even use them either if we need to.” So we say, “oh well, we’re going to truck it to the pro shop restaurant”. Look it up on the phones how far away it is…needless to say when you are the the turn between the front and the back you’re probably the furthest away from the main area as possible. At this point I’m getting a little more upset. It’s about 78-80 degrees outside and quite warm so my original 32oz of water is gone and I’m parched. So we’re doing the math on how long it will take to get to the hotel and back to the 10th hole…it doesn’t even make sense to do it. So we give the pro shop a call and the response is something to the effect of: “oh yeah, the restaurant at the turn is closed….nope, we don’t have any water coolers…nope, we don’t have any options for food or drinks or getting it to you.” Long story short, would have been nice if when we said this was our first time playing at Grandover someone wouldh give us the skinny on the food/drink/bathroom situation. The course was in fine shape and getting ready for everything to green up, greens were nice and firm. Overall it’s a nice course, but just left little to be desired for a return. Would not come back.

Great track Fairway just starting to grown in from winter but ruff is still dormant greens were good will definitely play again

Great course. Layout is fantastic. Rolling hills, plenty of trees and sand. Greens are full and plenty of undulations but not crazy. Decent amounts of water coming into play. Played in early April so conditions were not peak but well worth the 70 bucks it cost to play. I will definitely be back to play again.

Wet windy conditions on a cool windy day. Greens grainy and on slower pace. Fairways and t boxes dormant but ok for winter conditions. Course played tough in these conditions. Think I like West better but jury still out. Bar is a great place for a good craft beer afterwards. Great location for Triangle and Charlotte golfers to meet.

Although you could tell that the course would be fantastic if conditions were better, the fact is they are not. Every single fairway was extremely wet. Even the tea boxes were wet. The greens were in great shape probably because they used the big tarps that we saw to cover when it rains heavy. just impossible to hit consistent approach shots from anywhere on the fairway. Obviously mother nature is not their fault but right now the course is way too wet to play. You need to wait until it dries out or if they slash the rate to $25 then it would be worth it

Treated my pastor to a round on Grandover East.

Wet and muddy but an enjoyable experience.

We are both anticipating playing it again when it greens up a bit.

Greens were excellent, fast, fair and difficult. Still the course is great and challenging for any player that selects the appropriate tree. Had a great winter day.

Course was very enjoyable to play. Visited from Michigan in February and was nice change from home. Very much enjoyed the layout and views from tees. Nice challenge on every hole but very fair.
