Granite Falls Golf Club offers two courses, the North Course and the South Course. Rolling hills sprinkled with stately trees and large greens define both courses. The South Course has a challenging layout that appeals to all skill levels with four sets of tees and subtle but effective bunkering. Water comes into play on 10 holes. The golf course offers a scenic finishing hole that has two lakes, joined by a cascading waterfall with a fountain in the background. In addition to the two golf courses, Granite Falls Golf Club boasts extensive practice facilities including a short game area with a practice bunker, two putting greens, and a grass driving range with target areas.

Staff is the only downfall

We had an 8am tee time. We got into the clubhouse at 802am only to find out it was a shotgun start that morning and we should have been teeing off on the 6th hole. And apparently they teed off 10mins early. The only nice thing I have to say, is even though they were rude about EVERYTHING, they did allow us to tee off on the north course. The course is fun and in great shape. The ranger was actually friendly.

Country Club Feel

Staff cordial. Allowed us to play as a twosome. Start time advanced as they were not overly busy. Greens fast but starting to show a lot of Poa in them . Did not materialy affect the roll characterictics.

Very Nice Course

Course was in good condition and pace of ay was much faster than most other valley courses I played. Wide fairways make it a bit on the easy side but the greens have some tricky breaks in them. The Golf Now rate made this a great place to play.

Let It Fly

Fairways are very wide and not a lot comes in play so let it fly. Greens are very grainy and slow. Not enough challenging holes for me as most tee shots go into a very wide fairway with bunkers or water being too short off the tee to be a factor, or too far to be an issue. Good course to play if you are working on your driver, but I would not play on a regular basis due to its wide open layout.

Wide fairways

This is the second time playing on the south course, and I've played on the north twice before. IMO, the south is better. I love GF, and will continue coming here.

Love Sun City Grand

You can not go wrong with a sun city grand "hot deal"! For $10, this course was in great shape...greens rolled true, green fairways. You can tell they take pride in maintaining all of the "grand" courses. Fast carts, and ice cold water on course makes for an enjoyable round

Amazing course in the west valley!

This course is amazing. I live near it but never played it. Just played it for the first time and this course is awesome. It is in great shape especially for mid summer. And the greens are great! I got a tee time on golf now for 10 dollars you cant beat that for a course of this caliber. I will be back.

Course was enjoyable, staff was welcoming & well kept up with greens in great shape. Only thing better is to make it available in winter as well.

awesome value

We love the sun city grand courses, aside from the couple weeks before overseeding, the courses are always in great shape. Can't beat the price either.

marshall comes around a couple times to make sure everyone keeps up pace.

there is no beverage cart so bring your own stuff. there is water and ice at the clubhouse and the turn

Nice course with fairly wide fairways. Very strong par 3's from the back Tee's. Speed of greens make you pay attention.
Will be back again.

Large fairways plush greens

Greens were plush, but did have some bumps so you did not get a true roll. Fairway are wide and there is not a lot of trouble you can get into.

Course in terrible shape

Was greatly disappointed in the shape of the course. There was no warning that the course was in such bad shape. Many bare spots, holes, etc. I've played at this course before and it was very nice. At $20, it was too high.

Very Poor Condition

Compared to the conditions we encountered 3 weeks ago, I was shocked. The fairways were in very poor condition. I realize that there is a winter to summer transition period when the Bermuda grass has not grown in but much of the course did not seem to have any grass at all. We hit off of dirt and out of mud all day long. Greens were in fair condition. Because of the terrible condition, I gave an "Average" for value for the money even though the cost was only $10.

Good condition for this time of year,

Greens are very good right now, and most of the fairways are in good shape. There are some definite dry patches where the grass is starting to die out, but overall not too bad for this time of year.

This course has a great layout

The layout of the course makes golfers make strategic decisions. Generous fairways on most holes, but beware on some. Greens in great condition. Very nice practice areas for chipping and putting.

Beautiful course

I played Granite Falls South on 5/25/2013. For a course in transition to the summer grass, the course was in pretty good condition. And the greens were very receptive and well maintained.

The course itself has some nice water features, and on most holes the fairways are wide and inviting. The greens were receptive and reading the greens was made easier because you can actually read the grain on most of the greens. And at $39 on Golfnow it was an excellent value.
