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.

Challenging Course in Great Shape

Enough water and sand hazards to keep you on your toes. Some very challenging holes. My favorite among the Sun City Grand courses

Tee to green

I am an experienced golfer with a 3 handicap. My wife on the other hand has just started playing this past summer. Playing from the whites and her the orange, which is referred to as executive our drives were even in the fairway. At times she was even farther off the tee. Granite Falls has wide fairways and excellent greens. A great course for all skill levels to be competitive with each other. My wife and I highly recommend playing Granite Falls south.

The fairways were short and fast along with the greens.

This course was in very good shape especially for this time of year. The fairways were neatly trimmed and ran fast as did the greens. We had a 4some in front of us that were a bit slow, but still finished in just over 4 hrs. Could have probably been thru it in 3 1/2, but really not complaining as we were on a golf course and not at work! You will enjoy the variations of the holes on this course, and the Island green is tempting from the tee box, it tempted me and I got wet! Still enjoyed this course and will play it again....

Great value (GolfNow) but greens not as advertised

Played the South course and got a great deal on GolfNow. That is why I'd recommend this course, because other similar courses are way overpriced. I was confused by earlier reviews which raved about the greens here. Maybe they were referring to the North course, but the South has problems. The greens are all infected with a different color grass (maybe a weed) that makes the reads and putting very difficult. Speed is inconsistent and the roll is not true. Rumors that the members have said this problem has been there all year makes me wonder where these previous reviewers played (important to identify which course played when writing these). That being said, the course is interesting and the finishing holes intriguing. Tee to green the fairways are very good and with GolfNow a must play for the frugal golfer, but be ready for slower and inconsistent greens.

Summer time golf at Granite Falls

I would have given a pristine rating had the greens been 100%.
But none the less, It's an awesome course at an excellent value.
I'm confident that the greens will get better as they usually do.

great course. slow play with the locals,

course is in great shape, 3rd hole is a par 5 and seems to be narrow with houses left and right, other than that an awesome layout with challenging holes thru-out. slow play when they allow alot of singles to go out randomly, behind groups of two, threee and four.

Beautiful condition

A very well maintained and visually stunning course. Best value for the money in the West Valley. The staff is very helpful and the facilities are top drawer. Lots of water in some intriguing setups.

Just love this course.

First Time Playing

i think i just went at the wrong time...

I played Granite Falls North Course about 1 month ago and it was beautiful. When i played the South Course on monday it was aweful. Burnt fairways, hard sand, puttles of water and rock hard greens. Theres no way that course is usually like that, i know i must have went at a bad time. I guess theres a reason the green fee was $15 on golfnow lol. I would play it again....probably after the summer is over..
