Course in decent shape.

Pace of play started slow then picked up then slowed again. We were a 3some and had a 4some in front of us that was playing slow, hitting multiple shots. We had 2somes passing us only to turn around due to the back up ahead. Then a single kindly asked to skip past us. I like Greatwood but some marshals could possibly help improve pace of play.

Wednesday Afternoon at Greatwood

Course condition is reasonable but pace of play was annoyingly slow - had to jump two holes 9 & 10 due to pace of play. Overall value for money is okay

Nice Track

Excellent challenge for players who aren’t big hitters (like me!). Requires a bit of strategy. Greens in good shape!!

Course is slipping big time

Have played here multiple times and the course is going down hill. On the plus side the greens rolled nice, but the course needs some serious attention!

Watch out on number one

This hole generally produces double bogies for me. This senior has trouble clearing water on my second shot, going around to the dry right side beings traps and trees into play. That said, I love the back eight holes, well designed holes with options. The 10th? Better hit your longest drive , that second shot is another long water carry, no easy route. The last hole is special. Island green par 5.

Typical Friday

I headed out at 3 pm, my two fellow golfers were late so I went off as a single. Behind a threesome. The course was in pretty good shape, putts rolling true. on smooth greens. Groups ahead slowed as side bets made for lining up putts. Still managed to finish before dark. Plan on four and a half hours on Friday.

Greatwood Golf

First impression of the clubhouse was not great. Dirty, old, and pro shop had cobb webs in the ceiling. Bathrooms could use a cleaning. Course on the other hand was solid. Carts could use some TLC. Greens rolled nice. Good layout. Friendly course mascot gator that lays on the bank.

I liked the course and the conditions. Sand was consistent and in good shape. The greens were not perfect but better than average with some tricky/fun pin placement. The check in staff was friendly and prompt.

The cart paths need a lot of work.
