This course was in poor condition
I played here last year, and it was in great shape this time of year. They have not kept the tee to green conditions up, with lots of bare and dry grass. The greens were pretty good, with some that were losing "green" on slopes. Still OK for the price.
Not quite ready for summer yet!
Always a great course. There are some unresolved course Summer maintenance issues but I am sure the capable folks at Sun City Grand will get it rapped up PDQ.
Course conditions were very disappointing.
The course was not up to par.
Greens were recently cut and sand was prevalent.
Fairways were air-rated and filled with holes and brown spots.
I was disappointed.... usually GolfNow designates when a course is undergoing work, but not in this instance.
I wonder about the condition of the other courses in Sun City Grand.
nice features and scenic layout
This is a well maintained course with some tricky trouble spots but fair enough to enjoy the game. Water fountains are cold and restrooms are clean. Signage and markers are clear and fairways wide enough for even a novice such as myself to keep it in play. Good experience overall
nice value
Good deal, nice people course is in good shape and a four hour round all of this equals a great day of golf
Good fun!
A wonderful example of a course designed for all ages and genders. Five tee boxes that give a very good advantage to the seniors (me) and women. Some interesting shots around the greens and plenty of water hazards.
Good fun!
Course was in good condition staff was very friendly defiantly will play there again was very enjoyable
Very enjoyable looking forward to playing again very soon
Lush fairways; fast greens.
Played in windy conditions, course was wide enough to allow for the gusts. Great lies in fairways but you have to play to the front if you want to hold a green.
Pretty course, good condition
Fairways nice. Greens difficult to predict - some fast and some slow.
Beautiful course
The course was beautiful. The rough grass was smoother than my sun city courses fairways. Greens were well maintained and ran true. Staff were very very nice and gave me clear concise directions and information that was very helpful. Only knock I have for the experience was it played pretty slow making it hard to get into any flow. Did not see any marshalls on the course helping to speed up play. Would definitely like to play again.
Pre-Overseed.
Great course with just enough challenges, and forgiveness. I played in "Pre-Overseed" period, so the fairways and greens were scalped prior to overseeding. The rough was short as well, which was a good thing!
Nice day of golf.
Varied difficulty of fairways. pace of play made a good day of golf.
Well maintained - greens were true - fun course
The course is well maintained - greens were true - challanging - well worth the money!
Greens in terrible condition
Seems the more they try to fix the greens, the worse they get! The greens were in grood condition the previous time I played; about a month earlier
