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.

Course Conditions

Greens are getting nice as they sanded & airified them about a month ago. Greens are soft and somewhat smooth. Fairways have some dry spots but are very nice. Traps are ok, nothing to complain about. I'll be back, it's a must play course.

Nice, "fun" course to play!

Excellent, first class and friendly staff. Pretty course, nice layout, challenging enough but also forgiving. Conditions are understandable since course is closing shortly for summer maintenance. Recommended and will play it again.

High quality golf course

The course had recently been aerated and was being heavily irrigated during our play so there were some very messy areas. Nonetheless Granite Falls South is a beautiful golf course and a fun challenge for us intermediate players.

Some dry spots on the fairways, greens where bumpy and somewhat slow but not bad. Sandtraps need attention as they are hit and miss on good condition.

Course Conditions

Greens had just been airified & sand over the last 2 weeks and so the greens where slower than normal. Greens where nice & soft which was nice. Fairways where nice with some spotty dead areas. Bunkers are ok but somewhat hard. I'll play here again.

Great

First time on this course and was pleasantly surprised. The group I was to join on a Golf Now special didn't show so I had the course pretty much to my self. It was fun to try different shots in many different situations with no one to bother me. I'll definitely play here again when I get a chance.

Driven by here for 10 yrs. finally got a price I could afford. All was great. Had the course to myself. Played multiple balls so great practice with new Rouge irons. Couldn’t have asked for more. Anxious to return!

Nice Spring Training Course

I have played this course a few times, it never disappoints. It has a lot of play, however the course looks good. My only complaint was the group behind us was pushing us. They were men’s club golfers. My group played the front 9 in 1:40 and the same for back side, we were fast. Relax!!! Always meet great people from all over the country. Stay safe my new Ohio friends, enjoyed a great day of laughs!

Great course

This was my first time playing the South course. Played the North course two weeks in a row and thought I’d try something different. They have not aerated the course yet so the fairways are great and the greens bite and hold the ball well. Will be playing this again on Friday.

HUGE fairways and GREEN!!

Super fun course with great layout. Fairways are the widest of any course I have ever seen. Greens are also big but have alot of undulation....but were scalped with little grass ....mostly dirt.
Yamaha carts are like brane new and nice....but no gps, coolers or ball/club cleaner on board.
Fun course with great mountain views.
New gal behind the cash register was almost annoyed by having to take our money...
.and I think I woke up the cart barn guy when I returned the cart ;)

15 hole worth the price of admission.

Entire course is well thought out. Plays well for all levels of players. The short par 4 15th is best looking short par 4 in Phoenix golf (including 17th at TPC Scottsdale}. Enjoy the course and have fun.
