South Granville Country Club

Granville was a solid course for the money, above all the greens were well kept. With that being said, many of the greens are small and essentially on a “pedestal”, so despite the shortness of the course, it can be very challenging. Depending on your level of play, this is definitely a diamond in the rough for the Raleigh metro area, I’ll definitely have a return trip.

Greens were really nice. Challenging at times. Tee boxes could use some work but overall a fun place to play.

Course was in really good shape. Greens were challenging but in great shape.

Good course, great staff. The back nine is the most challenging, with water in play on several holes.

Surrounded by nature. Nice layout. Decent challenge. Friendly staff. Greens in great shape. Only downside: tee boxes need work but great value option overall

Course had many elevation changes, challenging holes, and great greens. I thought it was great fun and low price too!!

Basically a country course with unidentifiable fairway grass, where there was grass. Not crowded when I played and no pairing. Was forced to play alone which slowed my pace of play when I caught member threesome that refused to let me play through. Course felt as though it was in the mountains with the rolling terrain. Bermuda greens were in amazing shape. Greens were small and hard to hold. Would not recommend based on distance from Raleigh and overall conditions.

Fun, quirky layout. The greens are in excellent condition (Bermuda).....small greens with lots of slope! Rest of course in average condition for a typical NC summer.

The course layout is very good, and the greens were in excellent condition. The traps, not so much,. They were hard pan, and grass growing in them. The course is fairly hilly, and there are a few blind shots, but that’s expected. I’ll be back!

Played on a Friday afternoon hot deal for $20 and course was almost empty so played in 3 hours. Typical conditions for this course. Greens are flawless and will bite you if you lose concentration for a second. Rest of course is hit and miss so you have to roll ball to get grass in some spots. Good mix of holes and some elevation changes to deal with too. Don’t let the yardage fool you though. Play the whites unless you are a single digit handicapper. Much harder course from the back tees.

I love the layout of the course. It is not terribly long but has some challenging holes. For me who does not drive the ball long (250) makes the par 5s perfect risk reward holes. The fairways are not great but just play preferred lies and you will find a place to hit from. The greens were recently aerated, and they were very very slow this time. I’ve played these greens when they’ve been rolling close to 11 on the stimp meter.
All in all for the value you get on golf now it is well worth the price of admission.
