Grand View Golf Club

Well maintained, very unique course; but not for the faint of heart. The location of this course, basically carved into a mountainside, makes it naturally punishing for anyone not able to hit the ball where they want to. At about 6000yds the course isn't long, but if you're not hitting the ball straight you're all but guaranteed to lose any shot into an unplayable situation. Wouldn't suggest playing here when it's cart-path only if you're not in decent shape.

The course was in excellent shape. The greens were fairly fast and beautifully cared for. The fairways were excellent despite the heavy rain the previous two days. The pace of play was great. All in all, a perfect day

Grand View offers a demanding, well kept, super tight layout. I promise you will never play a course like it anywhere. Hitting irons off the tee is a must as you need to be in the correct position to hit the tight, well kept greens. Par is good food for a lot of these holes. Listen it can be tough your first couple of times. You need a little knowledge of the course to actually score. If you keep it straight it plays fair and there is a lot of opportunity to get up and down. Great quick electric carts with GPS. Awesome friendly staff. Been playing here for a few years now and will always come back.

Yes it is early but the Golf Course was very playable if you played winter rules. The Greens were Good and rolled well. Tee boxes fine but traps/bunkers were bad. Nobody had touched them but again early! Most public courses ignore the bunkers and this is too bad! I guess it is a manpower issue. The man in the Golf Shop was super friendly. He is not the Pro but the this course like most public courses does NOT need PGA affiliated Pro’s. If they keep up with things it is worth a return trip or 2! Hope they cut the Fairways soon!

Pace of play always slows down here but just really disappointing to see the greens aerated this early. I wouldn't have golfed here if I knew that. So much sand on the greens too

I want to begin by saying that the course is beautifully maintained, and you should absolutely come out and play this course. Personally, I will be back soon.

However, bring your shag bag. I used to be a +2, and I lost 4 golf balls yesterday. That has never happened to me before.

Several birdie opportunities, though, and all 4 par 3s offer you a chance at a hole in one because they play extremely short. #1 and #6 are drivable par 4s. #10 is easily reachable in 2. Opportunities are there.

There are holes that you give you no bailout off the tee, but all approach shots give you a bailout.

Play to 165 yd. out on #8 and #15. Seriously. Thank me later.

A friend and I wanted to catch up and play privately together as a twosome so we called around and the gentleman we spoke with over the phone the night before said they’d be happy to reserve a tee time for us. We clarified that we were requesting not to play with four total golfers and he said that wouldn’t be a problem at all. After we arrived at the course and paid, the starter said that we’d be paired up with another twosome. After we explained that we called ahead of time to reserve a tee time for a twosome we were told “they don’t control the tee times in there, I do. If you don’t like it then go request a refund”. We got our refund and left. It’s a shame such a nice looking course has such unfriendly staff.

If you cannot consistently hit fairway off the tee followed by plopping your ball on the green, this course is nearly impossible. Running through a case of balls because you hit 2ft off the fairway is not fun. The "decision" to not hit driver off the tee each hole is to prevent from losing your ball. Disappointing because the course is well maintained and the golf carts are awesome. Perhaps building a course on a cliff wasn't the best idea

Such a fun course and layout. Lots of blind shots. Not easy for the longer hitters! Always so much fun!

Staff was rude. Food and drink were poor quality. Course had a poor design and horrible condition. Golf elsewhere!

I play this course weekly. It is so much fun. It challenges you to actually play golf instead of just grabbing your driver on every hole. It is very unforgiving and you really have to think about your ball placement. It is one of the best keep courses around. The food is excellent. I would recommend to everyone.

Play this course about once a week and have played here several years. It is a challenging layout and requires accuracy on all shots and I have to admit, an acquired taste. The course is not too long but some of the holes have very tight landing areas and there are quite a few blind shots. For a public course, they do a pretty good job of maintaining the fairways and greens. With the elevation changes on this course, your club selection is critical.

Probably the most impressive thing about the course are the views. The Pittsburgh skyline is visible and one can easily see Pitt, Duquesne, PA and Kennywood amusement park as well as a working integrated steel plant.

If this is your first time playing here, bring plenty of ammo (golf balls). You're gonna need 'em.

Course was decent shape. They had just punched the greens but that was not weighing in on my rating. This layout is very tight and holes are on top of each other. This perhaps could have been a really nice 9 hole course. It’s on the top of a mountain so many blind holes and short drives. Only played one other course in Pittsburgh on golf trip which was quicksilver which I gave a five rating
