Omni Grove Park inn golf course

The course wasn’t in great shape for a resort course and I was glad I didn’t pay full price to play. That being said, we enjoyed the round and it was cart path only due to recent rain.

Conditions not great because of recent rain.

The conditions of the course were not up to par due to recent heavy rains. Sand traps were washed out and full of water. Many muddy areas, so cart path only. I would like to play the course again under better conditions.

A Unique North Carolina Experience

A unique North Carolina experience. The staff was super helpful. Helped me celebrate a special birthday complete with a decorative golf cart! The course was in great shape, except for some maintenance going on. Challenging greens, and approach shots were also fun. A little disappointing the 17th was cut short..but the views of the mountains simply can’t be beat! Stayed at the hotel which made it an even better experience, I would definitely return…

Loved experience

First time at Grove Park. Excellent condition at every point Tees Fairways Greens. Some bunkers had limited sand but saw workers adding sand to bunkers. Typical Donald Ross course… the greens protect the integrity of the course

Beautiful scenery. Played course in about 3 1/2 hours

overrated

Historical architect, but unimaginative. Many holes look the same. Blind approaches where you can only see the top of the flag but not the green.

Definitely not worth the price, nor the hype

Donald Ross: RIP

Obviously a beautiful setting. Course is extremely overrated. With all respect to D Ross, he was a lazy architect. Innumerable approach shots with only the top of the flag visible. No way to tell where to place shots; would have to have played several times before. Greens were variable, poana dying out. For me, greens were hard to read with vacilations plus hills.

No question the coarse is overpriced, even for the GolfNow deal I got. Will not be going back.

Ok

The tee-boxes were in fairly rough shape, I expected better for the price.

Also, 2 beers and 2 small packages of peanuts for $35 seems to be excessive (purchased off cart wagon at the turn).

But it was a fun historic place to be on a beautiful day and I'll bet the tees will be in great shape this summer.

Nice, picturesque course to play

I had a family member from California who had never been to our place before, want to play a very nice course. We arrived and found the greens were sandy and very bad to putt since parts of the greens had more sand in places which made the speed different on each green. I really like this course normally, but the price was too high for the condition of the greens. This is a picturesque course, but the price of $130 to play is too high for the local golfer. This course should have a local fee like Las Vegas, Orlando, Williamsburg and Palm Desert, California. The cart persons were very nice. We love to play this course and recommend visitors to enjoy a gorgeous course with lush fairways. Hole #4 needs to make it a 5 par for seniors like me who drives the ball 200 +/- yards and take 3 shots to reach the green from the senior tee box.
