Grandover Resort & Spa

Called one week prior to check on course condition.

I was told it was nearly perfect.

One week later I can attest that the East course is in ridiculously sorry shape considering they hosted a Tarheel Junior Tournament.

At Grandover, you get resort amenities. That means the folks who check you in, rangers, and everyone else you run across is professional and courteous. That's not the case at all courses, and it's appreciated.

The layout is solid, a fair test of golf with reasonable challenges and no poorly designed holes. Fairway conditions were excellent; the greens were spongy and slow, but it had rained significantly the night before. Faster and truer would have been nice, but they were in good enough condition all things considered.

Grandover is a rock solid golf facility, well worth a visit. You can't do much better for the price you pay on GolfNow.

Course was in excellent condition. Friendly staff. A lot of the green complexes were situated below the level of the cart path. If you have issues with inclines, you may have difficulty.

Everything looks so perfect but greens are very slow I need some muscle for long putts

Aware that 12 had temporary green which was appreciated to know that prior to round. Golf shop as usual super friendly and let me go first as the group I was to join didn’t show up. Tee box not in good shape , greens word no grandover standard , some awfully bad not worth putting on. Thankfully the round was u set $90 or I would have been one dissatisfied repeat customer. I’m well aware of both courses and been playing once or twice a year before the first house on the ground s was ever built . Their standard be in fall or spring was bit up to par today .

Played the East course. Two things need to improve before I would be willing to return:

1) they need to reopen the par 3 - 12th hole. Currently Closed for rebuilding. Ruins the layout and compromises the 13th hole too.

2) the greens were in poor shape. Several were very spotty and all of them were very slow. They are not mowing them down yet which makes for very bumpy, very slow conditions. Not what I’m used to on this course and certainly lowers the value.

Over all the course was picture perfect. every thing around the course was done with a very good lanscaper
