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 in very good shape....for July in Phoenix.

The course was well maintained and played fast; i.e., hard fast greens and fairways....again, for a Phoenix course in July.

Check it out! Nice course and good scenery!

Greens very good shape. Same for fairways except for a few places. Tee boxes a bit slanted for draws but overall very condition. Good summer rates!

Good Course... but

This course is usually in great shape so I do recommend it. Though I think Roger in the Pro Shop could use a lesson in customer service. Quite shocking how rude he was right from hello.

Resort Course Wannabe

This course (as well as all SCG) holds its own against most courses in Phoenix. First is the wow factor with all the water features, especially hole 18. The course was is in great condition, even coming out of over seeding. Its desert style, with wide fairways mimics most resort courses.
Only complaint - members don't fix ball marks. There were some greens that had close to 50+ pitch marks.
Take pride people, it is not the responsibility of the maintenance crew.

Nice course

The only problem I had with this course was "cart path only". Definetly coming back when carts are allowed on the course. Everything else was great

Fantastic Course

I was thrilled with the condition of the course especially this time of year. First time playing the course. The staff was great making sure I was familiar with the layout. I have played around 15 courses in the area through Golf Now and this is my new favorite. I look forward to playing there more in the future.

As always

The 4 Sun City Grande courses are always a treat to play in the summer when the general public can get on at fantastic prices. Only negative is they close the driving range on the North and South course around 10:30 regularly to pick it. Have heard numerous people complain about this scheduling problem. But tee boxes, fairways and greens are always awesome.

Greenest I've seen but no pro shop

I have played all four of the courses at Sun City Grand and they are all the greenest I've seen them in the 6 years we have been in AZ. The August and September temps have been below normal and there has been more rain than usual. The pro shop has been closed for a couple of months and everything is handled out of the turn snack shop. There is no timetable for it to reopen either. It has been sitting with NO work being done! The lack of initiative to get it done keeps this course from a rare 4.5 to me. But I came for the golf and it was excellent!

Golf Ranger had a problem

I booked the round, but was given no advisory that hole number 8 was shut down for sprinkler repairs. The pro was nice and said since we were not given proper notice, we could play a few extra holes. When we got on course the ranger said "no way are you going to play any extra holes, just give yourself a par on the missed hole". I always thought that the pros in the golf shop had the last word. Nasty golf ranger , but nice pros. When one gets old, you either grow bitter or grow better. Course was almost empty at 2 pm when we finished. The course itself was in superb condition for this time of year.

Best in Sun city

All ways in good shape from tee to green. Only issue is a lot of mowers on the course during weekdays but they are courteous and stop their motors when your playing your shot,very well managed. Always a good time playing either one of their couses!
