Easter golf

The greens need a lot of work, pretty spotty in places. The course had water standing in several areas near the fairways but you needed a hammer to get your tee in the ground. Other than that the course is in.pretty good shape

GPS needs correcting

The GPS in the cart was not calibrated properly. The cart would shut down on the cart path stating we were out of bounds. I had to abandon the cart on the cart path and walk since it would not let me go forwards or backwards due to the improper settings. I would play the course again as long as the GPs is disconnected

First Time Playing

Cow pasture with greens?

First time playing the course. If Greatwood was great when it first opened it’s Mediocre-wood now.

Practice area was poorly maintained; some fairways were open dirt and unplayable. The greens were the only well maintained aspect of the course.

Can’t say much about staff as we never saw any on the course after a fairly terse greeting from the Starter. At a few points we could have used a marshal to speed up play (4.5 hours; guy playing said the say before was 5); we waited on every hole; while having the threesome behind us hit into us on several holes.

Given the price they charged I was not expecting much and in that sense I was still underwhelmed. Essentially they are comparable to tracks charging 1/2 as much.

Needless to say the next weekend my club is closed for tournament play I will seek out another course.

New carts

Applaud the efforts to upgrade with new GPS equipped carts but ours and the guy in front of us were malfunctioning, hopefully they can fix that. Lot's of maintenance around the course with cart path only holes made for a slower pace, looking forward to the end result of the work

Greatwood Not so Great

Front 9 ok. But back 9 a nightmare to too much water and too many sand traps. It was very frustrating to hit blind and there’s water.
There’s a huge drainage ditch which winds all around. I am not a long hitter, but come on, from Whites I would have had to lay up. From Womens tee, which I used, I cannot imagine most women even able to hit over.
So close and cost is good, but looks like I have to move on.
ALSO cart kept locking up even when we were in path! They said “we are working on it”.

Excellent course

It's winter time, so the course isn't green. Great condition for the time of year. I imagine the course will be beautiful in the spring. Tough course. Can't wait to return.

Could be great

I love the layout and the staff is super friendly. Unfortunately, the owners keep shrinking the greens and have failed to put ANY TLC into the course in the last 5 years.
