I played Grandover Resort's East Course this past Tuesday, September 15, 2026. The course was about…read morewhat I expected based on the rates I saw online. Like many facilities built during the last golf course boom of the late 80s and 90s, I think Grandover has seen better days. The way they've let some of the conditions go - especially the bunkers - was a telltale sign to me. That said, I still think this is a solid public course for the Triad.
Grandover has two 18-hole courses. The East Course opened in 1996 and the West Course opened in 1997. The East Course is the more difficult, "championship" course. The West Course is more forgiving.
At the time of writing this review (September 18, 2026), weekend morning tee times (peak rates) are as follows:
* East Course: $100 for 18 holes, $60 for 9 holes
* West Course: $101 for 18 holes, $61 for 9 holes
It's nice they offer a 9-hole option on the weekends.
I found the East Course to have an interesting, challenging, and scenic design. To me, it's a classic Southern course with hills, slopes, and undulations, along with water hazards and plenty of "bunkers." Some of the prettier holes include No. 4, with its covered bridge and yellow flowers, and No. 18, with the water feature and resort building near the green. The greens and fairways were in good shape, for the most part. Some of the tee boxes were in poor condition.
I could tell they've scaled back on maintenance details over the years, perhaps because the resort hasn't done as well as was projected in the late 90s. The clock near the practice putting green and driving range was faded. Fortunately, I saw a guy on a lift touching it up as we made the turn.
The E-Z-GO ELiTE golf carts were mid-tier, but had GPS.
The golf shop was relatively nice and appeared to be well stocked. The mural on the rotunda inside is cool. Service from the staff was good.
I will say the facilities are set up well to handle large events. I attended a golf tournament fundraiser with about 140 players, shotgun start, and everything seemed to go smoothly.
I rented a set of clubs for $75, paid for inside the golf shop. The rental set was very good and included the following clubs:
* Titleist GT2 woods: driver (10 degrees), 3-wood (15), and 4-hybrid
* Titleist T350 irons: 5-iron through 43-degree PW
* Vokey SM11 wedges: 48, 52, 56, and 60 degrees
* Scotty Cameron putter: Special Select Squareback 2
The rental set also included two sleeves of Srixon Soft Feel balls with the Grandover logo and a bunch of Grandover tees in the bag.
I took pictures of the scorecard and uploaded them here on Yelp so you can see the course ratings and slopes for both the East Course and West Course. I didn't see them on Grandover's website.
I had fun. Enjoy your round!
