Grand View Golf Course

About
Grand View Golf Course in New Era is one of northwest Michigan's best values, offering both a challenging design and spectacular views. The course sprawls across rolling hills sprinkled with mature trees. The dramatic elevation changes off the tee and approaches lead to the subtly undulating, medium-sized greens, which are flanked by contoured mounding. The sparse bunkering is understated but the challenge comes from their strategic placement. Water comes into play on only two holes but there are nearly 40 sand traps lurking greenside or along the landing zones off the fairways. One of the water holes is the par-3 eighth, which is the golf course's signature. It has a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water. Though there are some significant changes in elevation, the tee areas are only a short distance from the green complexes, making Grand View a nice walking course.

New Owner Double JJ Not Taking Care Of Course!
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.
Fun Course
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.
Weird stuff.. normal for JJ ish enterprise
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.
Fun and challenging
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!
Grandview Says it all
Beautiful course. Excellent condition friendly staff. Will definitely play again.
Always a Pleasure
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!
Grand View June 2018
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.
grand view
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
Lots of hills!
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.


Grand View
Nice course. Fairly long with some tough holes. It sits kind of high so it is usually windier then some.
ohter than getting only 9 holes in it was tough due to rain on half of holes...
Grandview worth the trip
Scenic well laid out golf course requires you to use every club in your bag and to think and hit good golf shots to shoot a good score without penalizing you too harshly for poorly played shots. Holes are spaced so you can see others playing while not interfering with your round of golf. Parking lot had plenty of cars but the pace of play was surprisingly good with minimal waiting (expect to play in less than 3 and a half hours for 18 holes). Fall colors should be spectacular with amazing elevated views on quite a few holes.
Friendly staff, including a beautiful lady in the clubhouse willing to satisfy your every need before and after the round. Worth the drive for the price, playable for all skill levels, and would recommend playing again, I will definitely be back
Great Course/Excellent Value
We love playing this course several times a year! It is always in excellent condition. Elevated tees, gorgeous views and each hole is unique. It presents a challenge for the men and is fair to the ladies.
Fun course at great price
Mixture of fair and challenging holes. Island green is most often into the prevailing making for extra excitement.
Awesome course!
This is an absolutely beautiful course, so if you get an opportunity to play or are from out of town, I highly recommend this course. You will love it!
Fun course
We always enjoy playing Grandview.....sorry to see the cherry orchard removed.
