Grand Haven Golf Club - The Grand Club - (386) 445-2327
Florida Golf Course Review - December 5, 2007
Grand Haven Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course located just north of Daytona Beach in Palm Coast,
Florida. Owned and operated by Hampton Golf Clubs, Grand Haven offers guests the opportunity to play in a
country club atmosphere with excellent service, first class amenities and impeccable course conditions.
The property features beautiful clubhouse with a nicely appointed golf shop, locker rooms with showers for both
men and women, a dining room/lounge that is open for a breakfast buffet on Sunday, dinner Thursday, Friday &
Saturday, and lunch seven days a week. A "halfway house" offers golfers fare and libations at the turn. The facilities can host outing/events for up to 248 persons.
Practice facilities include a complimentary grass range and a short game practice area with bunker, putting and
chipping greens. Premium golf carts feature club protectors and ProLink GPS. The course is also marked with
100, 150 and 200 yard plates in the middle of the fairway and sprinkler heads measured to the center of the green.
Grand Haven is a visually stunning course that features a beautiful par 3 island green and eight holes in which
water comes into play. Bermuda grass tees, greens, fairways and rough and perfectly conditioned and
maintained. Landing areas are ample and the 77 strategically placed bunkers feature soft white sand that can
be quite penal - especially greenside. Greens are mid to large sized with gentle undulations and unusual sloping
features. Most greens offer a significant challenge with difficult pin placement opportunities.
Seven sets of tees ensure that players of all levels have an opportunity to score a challenging and enjoyable
round at Grand Haven. The back tees play 7069 yards and have a slope rating of 140. Middle tee boxes
measure 6695, 6363, 6012 and 5769 with slope ratings between 136 and 123. Two sets of forward tees play 5197 and 4985 with slopes of 125 and 121.
For those lucky enough to live or "winter" in Palm Coast, Grand Haven is a wonderful addition to the other Hampton Golf Courses in the area - The Pines, The Cypress and Mantanzas. For visitors to the area, we highly
recommend Grand Haven as a "must play" - it surely will not disappoint! For more information on this course with a link to its website click here.
