One of the more difficult public courses in the state. There is not much room on many holes off the fairway.

Love the scenic layout and undulating greens. Must play if you want a challenge.

OK we were just here if you want to go in the end of July when they re-opened up and the greens were horrible but now I’m playing October 5 Thursday only one on the course unbelievable and the greens are at least twice as nice and twice as fast as they were so they’re making their way back. The fairways are coming back really nice. The tea boxes are still a little spongy and a lot of moles, and so forth but the fairways and greens are are coming back. That’s the great news is still $25 played by myself in less than three hours from the blues Shotwell And the bones of this course are just still fantastic from Arthur Hills. I don’t know how I stay in business I’m the only one in the Sundance salon having lunch at 3 o’clock maybe I don’t know I don’t have a reason why this place just does not get any business here. It’s only work 20 minutes from Muskegon an hour from Grand Rapids I drove almost an hour to get here but it’s worth it the serene, peaceful quietness and you’re by yourself gorgeous Arthur hills, Leo And only $25 and now I’m gonna have a nice signature burger at the salon which is very nice also so unfortunately I have nothing but good to say but we need to get some people here so they stay in business. They did invest a lot of money and clearing out the brush cutting down a bunch of scrub stuff back in the spring, so there are spending money on the course get up here and play Arthur Hills, Thoroughbred

Oh, we came on Thursday, July 20, 2023 and they just reopened after being close last year for irrigation issues. OK the course is still in really rough shape but it’s on the mend. The biggest improvement is that they Musta hired a company to do a lot of brush hog, trim work all around the course which opened things up fantastically at least the reinvesting into the course. I do not really encourage playing it right now. It was just the only thing that reopened in that it was $25 each if the course is in Primo shape of beer $75 course played hear back in 1997 and it wasn’t Primo shape and we used to come up late in the afternoon for a twighlight about the same price of $25. Has the most elevation change of most any course around feels like you’re way up north and hilly as can be Arthur hills really utilized the layout of the land here to the max and if you play from the Tips you better bring Reagan because it’s a 149 slope rating issue so I would encourage to wait maybe a year right now is not the time but we could still have fun playing there it’s just in really bad shape. Unfortunately the greens were super shaggy waterlogged, plugging, etc. but the food is good at the steakhouse, so go for.

Been playing here for years and now I am very disappointed. Was a great course and very well kept. Double JJ bought the course last year and it is very obvious the money and resources are not going into the course. Burnt grass, tees not being mowed for days at a time, cup edges grown over from not being changed. bunkers not maintained with 10 inch weeds growing in spots. Golfed on the 4th of July and our group had both carts not make it back due to not being charged. Terrible that the rates went up and now a once beautiful course is heading downhill just like the other Double JJ course The Thoroughbred. The past owners of Grandview would be disturbed to see the course these days.

This is a great course! Rough was thicker than normal and greens were very soft. It can be tough if you spray your t-shot.

Well...first off...proshop could not find our Golf Now reservation...which of course we know was placed hence this review request..
Then on the 7th hole(?) Fairway is an abandoned cart...and at hole 14 we knew what that was about as our cart was almost out of juice..it died for good at 18..we pushed it up to the lot. So someone is not charging or they have not replaced batteries whose life is long over.
Gal in photoshop was apologetic but no offer of a free beer or free round...sad...but so typical of Double JJ customer service.

This course is always in good condition but I was struck by the fantastic conditions of the fairways and greens during this round. The course is fun and challenging. Any hole on the course can be easy if played correctly but make the wrong mistake and you could find yourself scrambling to prevent a big score. The ‘island’ green on 8 is always an exciting highlight. Two thumbs up!

Beautiful course. Excellent condition friendly staff. Will definitely play again.

Great layout and extremely friendly staff. Greens were slow, so I assume they weren’t mowed due to recent rains. Love to play this course and visit the Brown Bear in Shelby for the best burgers and broasted chicken in West Michigan!

My friend and I had a great round of golf. The greens and fairways were in very good shape. The roughs were a little deep and made for more difficult shots, but your supposed to be in the fairway anyway. The weather was perfect and we had the kind of round that make playing the game fun.

love this course,will make the hour drive from home at least twice a year to play.very scenic,nice rolling layout,well groomed fun.only problem this time was i showed up a bit early,and even though there were no golfers anywhere in sight around the first tee,the lady in the clubhouse made us wait for two groups to go off that had not even showed up yet,kind of made me feel likesince i booked on golfnow i was second to walk on tee times,no worries though it was a beautiful day and a pleasant round

Fairways and greens were good but off the fairway alot of thick quack grass. Narrow in places accuracy is important. Lots of woods to enjoy and fall colors.

Nice track, greens were in good shape, but the pace of play was way too slow. Finally we skipped a hole and a guys said, "oh, we didn't realize were holding everyone up. I guess we could pick it up a little." If there had been a Marshall pushing a little it would have been great.

This course is not easy by any means, but it is always in good shape, the only crazy hole is #2, an extremely difficult that is a little extreme in my mind. Every hole on the course is away from other holes which is wonderful, so you are almost alone all the time as you play a hole! I have here many times, and I will always come back when I am on the west-side of the state.

We love this course. Staff is always very friendly. Didn't even have to ask for a rain check when even using Golfnow. Each hole has it's own personality. The greens are in great shape. Over all it is a very well maintained course.
