Grand Valley Lakes offers a surprisingly engaging round, especially with its well-placed water hazards that come into play on nearly half the holes. You'll need to think strategically off the tee, but the greens are generally receptive, making it a fair test for most handicaps. It's a course that rewards smart play over brute strength.
Are the 'lakes' at Grand Valley Lakes just for show, or do they really impact play?

The course masterfully integrates its namesake lakes, demanding precise carries and offering stunning backdrops, particularly on the picturesque par-3 7th and the dramatic finishing 18th. Don't forget extra balls, but do take a moment to enjoy the views.

The course is beautifully maintained during these seasons, offering lush fairways and comfortable temperatures without the intense summer heat or the chill of winter.
