Granada Farms Country Club

Though still kinda rough this course has come back from ruin. Lots of money has been spent including new GPS carts. The greens for March are in decent shape but in a month they should be in better shape. The amount of work required to get this course back to playable was enormous and I think they have got off to a good start. Keep up the good work and they will come. Group Golfer would be a great way for this course to create some revenue to keep improving. A fun course to play.

COURSE IS UNDER REPAIR. SHOULD BE NICE WHEN COMPLETED. UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP..ENJOYED THE COURSE LAYOUT.

I booked on GolfNow and paid con. fee just to get to the course and be told they do not use GolfNow and charged more than what was listed on GN. When we got there we had to wait for the staff to bring the carts. Sprinklers were getting turned on for the greens for the holes we were about to tee off on. Had to skip a green because of the sprinklers. If you play this course don’t expect much and don’t book on GN.

Course Is in really bad shape. Cart paths bad. Several tee boxes were non existent along with bunkers.

They have been really working hard to get this course back in shape. Really has come a long way! Great work!

I played this course many times over 20 years before it unfortunately started to be in unplayable conditions. I’m glad to see it has reopened because it’s such a fun yet challenging course. The fairways are in good shape, and many of the cart paths have been repaved which is nice because they have new carts with gps. Some construction is still going on with tee boxes and sand traps, and some greens need a little more time to fully fill in. Overall, it’s a hidden gem that will get back to its old glory in 2024!

Course is drastically improving, but 5 groups on one hole is awful. I don’t know if the pro shop is letting people go whenever or what, but if people would let you through or try and play faster it’d be better

Wasn’t sure I was going to be able to play this weekend, but Sunday morning I had everything done, so decided to see if I could get a tee time in the afternoon. Called Granada, because I remembered it was fairly cheap, close-ish, and had a decent layout. Sure enough, I got the time I was after within 10 minutes.

I’d played this course about a year ago, so I wasn’t expecting excellent conditions. The green fee, with cart, was $40 the lady in the pro shop had said, but I decided before I went that I wanted to walk if possible. When I got to the course, the walking green fee was only $20, great! She was a little hesitant to let me go out before 2:30 walking, thinking it would slow play for the groups behind, but there were 2 3-balls going off ahead and I assured her that I would easily be able to keep up and I’d let groups behind pass if I couldn’t. As I suspected, that wasn’t an issue.

Compared to the last time I played here, the greens were generally in much better condition, with the exception of a few on the back that get more shade and had some bare spots. It ain’t Augusta, but it was playable. They’ve repaved a number of the cart paths that were horribly broken up last time. As far as walkability, it’s hilly and I knew that going in. The front 9 isn’t that bad at all. I’d forgotten about the back 9, though. There you’ll find several holes in a row with steep elevation changes, mostly up, and it’s a workout. Made it around in just under 3:30, though. Despite the 2 3-balls ahead playing as a 6-ball on the front 9, I had the back all to myself. Overall, a very enjoyable round of pure, no frills golf.

Greens have been closed since October but will reopen next month and they’ll be rolling smooth! This was a diamond in the rough that isn’t so rough anymore. Can’t tell you all the upgrades that have made this a true country club again with an amazing course!

New to the are and went out to explore. Found Granada Farms just north of Hickory NC. Sunny day yesterday. Greens under construction new growth coming so played to temporary greens. According to Owners new greens ready in March. This will be a great track once fully reopened to original greens. Great layout and design. Good views and very friendly staff. I would say this is going to be a good hidden gem in the area.

This course has seen its better days. With little money spent this course for years, if not sold should be shut down. The greens are TERRIBLE with two shut down completely. A shame as I always enjoyed playing this layout. It has never been an expensive course but with decent greens and layout it was on the rotation. I wish someone would buy it and restore it to previous quality but it doesnt look good. Time for a new owner and attitude with an interest in saving this course. Cart paths horrendous along with everything else. A SHAME . . Don't waste your time.
