Loved experience

First time at Grove Park. Excellent condition at every point Tees Fairways Greens. Some bunkers had limited sand but saw workers adding sand to bunkers. Typical Donald Ross course… the greens protect the integrity of the course
Beautiful scenery. Played course in about 3 1/2 hours

Air rated

They had air rated their greens but still charged full price. Worth a round at 80$ or less. Cool old school Donald R course.

Challenging Donald Ross Course

Greens were in great condition, fairways and 1st cut above avg. Definitely would play there again and highly recommend. The only negative was the lack of amenities. No drink or snack bar available..(surprised for a 5 star hotel course) . Staff was very nice and helpful

Please fix your ballmarks!

Played as a single on 12/28 and paired with another single and a couple from out of town. The greens were typical Donald Ross, don’t get above the hole and super fast with deceptive breaks. Sadly, many greens were bumpy due to people not fixing their ball marks and I had several putts knocked off line.
Fairways were okay for the time of year, and the rough was manageable. I happened to find 4 bunkers during my round, and they had not been raked. I’m a pretty good bunker player but it’s hard to get up and down out of a footprint.
Glad that I was able to play on a hot deal but it wasn’t that great because of the conditions. I suggest playing Broadmoor instead.

One of my favorite courses

Grove Park is one of my favorite courses in WNC. Challenging Donald Ross layout, great course conditions and friendly staff. I’m usually a single golfer but always manage to join up with other golfers. I’d play it 2-3 times a week if I could! Never disappointed.

Great Course - would play again.

Thursday at noon tee time, it was an overcast day and no one was on the course so lucky me. Course is in great shape. Not very long, great par 3’s (on the front 9, back nine are ok) and short par 5’s that are very scoreable. All the classic Donald Ross features are present ( blind tee shots, extreme uphill/downhill approaches, really tricky greens with lots of undulation.) The routing of the course is very unique, it sort of takes you all over the place. I mention this because I walked and it was a little tough to try and find the next hole, but definitely wouldn’t be a problem if you take a cart. Not a ton of holes where you can hit driver.
