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.

Price is Right

The course is a wonderful 18 challenging holes and was generally in good shape. Cart paths are cracked and uneven, but so is every other mature course in this area with oak tree roots spreading out under cart paths and fairways. Negatives: Trash cans throughout the course were overflowing and hadn’t been emptied in days. Golf carts were filthy and full of tobacco cans, wrappers and dirt. Skeleton staff was working hard, but not enough bar staff was on hand to keep up with demand. Starter was very helpful and friendly. Interior of clubhouse is dated, worn, and in need of updating. Glass cupola above the beautiful Christmas Tree is covered in cobwebs and dirt.
