GD is our go to course when it's CPO everywhere since they don't have cart paths everywhere. Can't believe how quickly it dried out. Fairways were not bad, some new lakes in low lying areas - but the course was extremely playable. A warm day, it reached 70, and windy - 15 to 20 all day.
Greens were pretty smooth but not as fast as normal, probably about 9.
Good layout, always enjoy playing here - one of MB's top courses

Merry Chritsmas UGP. Thanks for all your update during the year.

Thanks for the update UGP, I've only played their twice but really enjoyed the intercoastal holes and the course conditions...BTW nice round the other day at Farmstead, do you ever shoot in the 80's like most of the population?
Thanks for your update on Grande Dunes, CPO at Arcadian Shores.
UGP shoots in the 80"s. That is the perfect temperature for golf in MB

Unfortunately it does happen on occasion. I try my best no matter how I'm scoring. And I always TRY and enjoy the round regardless if I'm playing good or bad.

I enjoy everything about GD - the course, staff and the bar!
ugp, nice tip regarding cpo and grande dunes. never noticed that.
gd is the "safest" choice when i host friends and family. a very solid course with great greens and pretty straightforward.
question for those who have played gd multiple times: it took till my third round playing there that the landing areas were much wider than what appeared (to me) off the tee. am i alone in this? i dont usually offer golf/course advice, but i always tell players not to be afraid of using driver at gd.

Very few tight holes at GD 10 and 17 are the two toughest driving holes

Many fairways at Grande Dunes have dips in them or driving over a hill, so we
don't see a lot of fairway. Maybe not seeing a lot of fairway makes them look
more narrow, when you haven't played there before.
If you are playing the correct tees for your game at GD, you will get bonus yards
by carrying it to the down slope. Examples are 9, 10, 15, 18.

art, thats exactly it. some of the obstructing hills fooled the hell outta me. i'd get to my tee shot, look back at the tee...and ah-ha
Thanks for the Update UGP!
