The variety of shots you can choose to hit off of the tee box was such a treat. It wasn’t a matter of ripping driver every time, which I greatly enjoyed. I played here in the middle of a drought, so there were some burnt parts of the course. Probably more than normal.

I think the front 9 of this golf course absolutely rocks. Additionally they have good food, cheap beer and a great pace of play. Really good course especially for the price

Views were amazing, course was difficult, but overall it does not look like the course is being well kept. Par 3 tee boxes are absolutely decimated, bunkers have less than 1/4" of sand plus baseball size rocks, and the carts are slow as hell. Absolutely not worth $140.

Really fun neighborhood golf course with solid pace of play and always has open tee times. The greens are always roll pure and the course makes you shape the ball multiple ways which is fun.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Granville, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
