Reviews of Thornapple Pointe

Joshua Kaminski

Great golf course! Some carts functioning better than others. Had a wonderful time with my dad and brothers out here.

A. Drehobl

We loved the atmosphere of their pavilion for our wedding reception! Because Thornapple supplied mirrors and candles, we only added flowers and greenery to the table and felt the place was well-decorated. The traditional layout with a center dance floor worked well. Event staff was wonderful and food was good. The added dessert fee for bringing in our own dessert seemed a little pricy, but we knew that cost before booking.

Sue Westphall

Staff was super helpful in a difficult situation when lightening interrupted our event of 140 golfers! The course was in great shape!!! Course is challenging but fair and it is very pretty.

TJ Suchocki (Fast Booth)

We provided a photo booth for West Michigan Aviation Academy here. Prom 2022. A very nice place. Food was fantastic. The staff is quite helpful. I hope we can see you many times in the near future. Keep up the great work.

Jake Moore

Great golf course and experience! Super nice comfortable carts. What the locals (or regulars) call Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, you may just see a few of each during your 18 holes. A fun and fair course design and layout. Some really fun holes along the water and train tracks. Highly recommended! $72 to ride 18 during peak season.

Ryan Scarborough

My first time at Thorneapple Pointe was wonderful! This course has a beautiful landscape, which makes for challenging footing when addressing the ball. The course plays true to the posted yardage and makes for a fun and challenging day! The only draw back for me is the noise level due to the high way close to the course. Overall, I highly recommend playing @Thorneapple Pointe golf course. I'll be back soon.

Brittany Garza

We LOVED our wedding at the Thornapple Pointe pavilion. We received so many compliments on the venue, the food taste, and just the overall atmosphere of the event. Sarah was fabulous to work with during the planning process and was very flexible and attentive in communications. The only reason I give 4 stars was due to a number of guests receiving cold meals - The venue seemed to be short-staffed day of and it took awhile to get the food out. Overall, I would highly recommend thee venue to future brides!

Terry DeBey

Beautiful course - challenging layout, undulating greens and water. Very wet year so everything stuck but one of the nicer courses in the area. Good airplane viewing also.

Evan Inger

Beautiful course that is unfortunately way overbooked. When you're looking at a 6.5 hour round on a Tuesday in the fall, I can only imagine what it's like on the weekends / summer. Painfully slow.

Brendan Schafer

Probably a top 3 course in Grand Rapids. Greens were so quality in November. Well kept, not to many leaves. We will be back.

Jennie Lee

The staff did a fantastic job the day of our wedding! We received so many compliments on the food as well!

Ben Shoemaker

This is a good track, and nice property. Range needs help and punching the greens should be communicated more broadly.

Kevin B

Great challenging course in great shape. If you love playing a awesome course play this one.

Dale S

Beautiful club. Was there for a social event. Staff was professional and pleasant. Food was nicely prepared, presented and tasty. Course looked really nice, but didn't play golf.

Omar Gomez

Came to the event area and it was a very nice space. Seemed very roomy. Could probably fit a couple hundred guests in here comfortably.

Michael Leidlein

The indoor golf is almost as good as the course.

CJ Romig III

Super nice staff. Fair course with great views of the river and of course you get to check out the planes coming in!

A. M. D. Vaughan

Lovely venue....great view of the golf course, airy, tons of natural light with all of the huge windows.

Erich Gross

Nice course. Fun holes. Great greens. Fun carts. If you hit your ball into the tall grass, remember to check under the grass clippings, your ball is likely sitting underneath a mat of grass clippings! Ha! Fun course I will be back.

Jeremy Gurumendi

An absolute must play if visiting or live in GR. Fair and fun layout. No quirky holes and rewards the player that has it together and playing well. Always has good playing conditions and even has indoor sims during the off season.

Michigan Lines Railfan

This is a beautiful course with amazing views of the Thornapple river. The burgers and brats were the best I ever had at a golf course. The manager/owner at the golf shop was super nice and helpful. So sad this course is 2 and a half hours from where we live. We would be here all the time! Such an amazing experience!

Garrett Veurink

Absolute stunner of a course! Great fairways, always kept pristine, would highly recommend.

Steven miedzielec

Attended a wedding reception and dinner was superb. Bar staff kept guests happy and entertained while the food service was impeccable. Appetizers, crudites and grilled veggies, sliced meats and cheese with crostini could have been the star. Dinner was a mixed salad, green beans, roasted potatoes, beef roast and crispy smothered chicken. Best wedding meal in a long long time!

Richard Adgate

Golf in March is always a bonus and an extra bonus was playing at Thornapple Pointe. Greens were rolling really good, staff was pleasant and welcoming, the simulators looked fun and we will try to book some time next winter. Great experience we will be back

John Hoyt

The golf course is in excellent condition. They just rolled the greens and they putted as true as I have seen them since early spring. It's always challenging, but fun. A great golf course with a great staff!

Duane Wandel

The course is always in great shape, it wou look d be even better if people would repair their divots. I am please that I purchased 20 round for the season. Always friendly staff and They have the best French Fries.

Peggy Klus

Beautiful golf course but very noisy from planes and automobiles. Nice clubhouse and outdoor area for food and drinks. The cart GPS is very annoying. It stops your cart quite a ways from green, not the normal distance.

Eric Twiest

Planes, Trains and Automobiles and a beautiful setting on Thornapple River we make our way out to play Thornapple Pointe at least a couple times a year. Course is in great shape, and the layout is a lot of fun to play with lots of tee boxes it also allows for golfers of lots of skills to have fun and enjoy. We played in July and staff was friendly, good food at the turn dogs, brats, pulled pork, wraps and more. We will be back.

Grand Rapids Women's Golf Association

Great facility to host an outing! The staff was very accommodating and efficient. The facility is perfect for outings with a large gathering place for your group after your round with sandwiches and brats/dogs plus a full bar to enjoy. The view from the gathering area is magnificent, raised a level from the course for beautiful views of several holes. Would definitely return; thank you Thornapple Pointe for making our event a big success!

Joe G

Great course. I enjoy the views of the thornapple river while playing. I also like how you can see airplanes landing(because it’s close to GR airport) ! I’ve had a couple issues with a starter trying to yell at our group but other than that great spot to golf with your friends

Todd Elliott

Challenging course, great run. Course is well maintained and in excellent condition. All to offer and staff is wonderful.

Angela Whitehead

I’ve been here a few times and the course is so pretty. I’ve been with my company and it’s always fun except for this last time. The staff was constantly rushing us but you can only go so fast when someone is in front of you still playing. Staff was constantly bothering us and would sit in their karts and watch our group golf, made it hard to enjoy our time there.

Keenan Hamersma

Absolutely beautiful course. Very well maintained and manicured. The greens take some getting used to because of how fast they are but the challenge is a welcome one. Definitely will play this course many more time over.

Matthew Ranzenberger (Fuzzy)

It's a nice course, if a little strange. The train rolling through was entertaining, the planes eventually faded into the background, and you can barely hear the cars on the highway. The course itself is actually pretty good, not too challenging and a lot of fun.

Michael Jones

Great course! Greens are tough. Challenging. T boxes are great. The course makes you play your whole bag.

john b

Very nice place to golf.

Nathan Jacobs

Very nice great place to golf and see airplanes low

Steve Sadler

Love this golf course... Planes, Trains and automobiles can be seen and enjoyed from every corner. One time the jet wash from a 737 aided me in making a hole in one. Seriously... super well groomed, challenging and a very professional staff. Go there.

Shane Holwerda

Average golfer yet love playing here!

W. Thompkins

Great course! We played this course Father's Day weekend and, despite the rain, the course was in great shape. The staff was friendly and despite my poor golfing we had a great time.

Alex Hausserman

Beautiful course with quite a bit of difficulty. The staff has been friendly during all of my visits. It's high on my list for public tracks in West Michigan.

Ross Wayman

Beautiful golf course. Was in need some some maintenance, but they were working on it. Planes, trains, and automobiles are seen on and around this course, so very interesting backdrops. Nice clubhouse and they are building a new outdoor bar area

Brandon Sabin

Played this track last week and have another tee time on Sunday. The greens this year are IMMACULATE! Wonderfully kept and such a blast to play. Definitely on a must play list in West Michigan.

Gerard D

Wonderful course. Well kept. Very scenic holes along the Thornapple River. Challenging fairways. Golf carts have GPS built in that provides your yardage.

M BREIN

Wanted to try a different golf course for a change and it had been 15 yrs since playing here so I went back to try it again and that was a mistake. I was a single and ready to play and was told there was a group in front of me that I had to wait for as they were at the driving range. After 10 min’s they showed up and teed off. While on the tee they looked back and saw me waiting on them and I thought they were going to offer to let me a faster playing single play through but that didn’t happen. When I moved to the tee box I saw the 3 of them in the tall grass about 300 out looking for a golf ball which they preceded to spend 10 mins looking for while I waited and watched. They finally gave up and took a drop while the other 2 went to their balls in the fairway that they should have played before helping the other guy look for his ball. There wasn’t ever a wait for anyone in front of them yet they averaged 15-20 mins a hole! The GPS systems on the carts were programmed to put the cart in (crawl mode) because the course said the ground was wet even though it hadn’t rained in 3 days. Of course these 3 idiots were driving off the paths and then it would take 3-5 mins to work back to the cart paths for normal speed again. This repeated itself on every hole with these idiots that had no golf etiquette whatsoever. I teed off at 7:10 and at 9:00 I called it quits as we only played 6 holes in 2 hrs!!!! If you like super slow play with golfers that don’t know what golf etiquette is then this is the place for you. But if not then choose one of the many other fine courses in the area such as LE Kauphman and Quail Ridge and you will be happy that you did. I will not be back again that’s for sure and it’s to bad because it’s a nice layout, just poorly run with no Rangers roaming the course keeping the pace of play moving.

Sam CHoi-Brown

Just had our son’s couple wedding shower, Ashley Graven did a great job on the Brunch buffet! Everyone enjoy the day, highly recommend Thornapple Pointe Golf Club of any new events in the future. Thank you!

Skip Spencer

This is a tough but Fair Golf Course. Each hole is interesting. Some water and number of traps. It will require you to place the ball in position for your next shot. They have GPS on the carts. The Pro Shop will have what you need if you forget something. The beer was cold.

Philip Champion

Today was my first time at Thornapple Pointe. Had a foursome playing virtual the new virtual golf they have. I believe there are 4 standard screens and 2 pano screens. The standard screens are cool with picture in picture set up so you can watch tv (nfl playoffs) while playing. The 2 panorama are really nice. It feels like you are on the course. This was my first experience playing virtual and I can say it was a very good one. The staff is friendly and the good was really good. They have a full menu and a full bar. I would highly recommend to others.

Chris Kreeger

Quite literally the best course in the Grand Rapids area. So much fun, so playable, great greens, lots of elevation and right off the river! You won’t be disappointed.

Arden Bernard

Planes, trains and automobiles ( with the occasional boat), but don't let the nickname scare you away. Course is always in great shape and a decent value. My only knock is the nagging from the GPS system on the carts. Seems a bit unnecessary, but it's also a minor issue and likely just a personal peeve.

scott pardue

Course was in great shape for just getting 1.5 inches of rain the night before.

Nick Futrell

Absolutly gorgeous course. The course was in superb condition. Great staff, great play. Pace was good also. A little pricey but worth it. The course

Mike Kettler

What a great course! Glad I finally got to play it a couple weeks ago after years of seeing it off the freeway.

Aaron Brander

Great golf course. One of the only places in the area with GPS on the carts. Always in great condition, lots of tough holes. Just watch out for the wind!

Gloria Alberta

A beautiful spacious area. Very tranquil. We did some kayaking on the lake. A great place for a family picnic. It's also dog friendly.

Courtney

Beautiful place. A family member had their wedding and reception here. There could have been a little more help for the setup of it all but all in all great place to golf and not a horrible place for events.

Amir Mohammed

Beautiful scenery, nice clean manicured course and very fun to play. Played with a foursome had a decent round really enjoyed playing this course

Julie Schelling

Beautiful course, fun to play. Negative was the cart app kept telling us we were falling behind. We were playing in an outing, and no one was behind us waiting. And the ranger came out and very nicely asked us to pick up pace of play. We felt a little picked on.

Michael Drake

Great course, always well maintained. Friendly staff would rate it among my top 5 courses in Grand Rapids.

Dann Daliege

Nicely maintained golf course. Terrible location! Next to airport, highways & train tracks! Very noisy! Guy working in the pro shop not very friendly.

Roger Bair

Great course... and I took a playing lesson with Brian & he really is a great instructor. To quote a movie icon, "I'll be back".

Anthony Barnabo

Course is beautiful, played in a scramble there and somehow a woman snuck past the ranger and was allowed to partake in the event. Other than that it was terrific

Robert Carson

Well groomed and maintained course. Full amenity club house and restaurant. A little pricey but worth the little extra.

Edward Ek

I like the course but pace of play is an issue every time I play there. Last time I was there I left after hole 14 because at the pace we were playing at it would have been over 5 hours. Not a ranger in sight.

Brandon Miller

This is a giant park with ball fields, an off leash dog area, playground equipment, and lots of covered picnic areas. It's one of the nicest parks I've seen.

Chris Chappel

If you like golf plus watching trains, plains, boats and automobiles, this is your place! Cool layout.

Michael Padget

Great practice area. I have not played the course though. It is noisy since its in the flight path to the airport and sought off I96

Jalen Michael

Fantastic consistent greens, great course layout, great views. All-around great course in Grand Rapids.

Casey Oonk

Planes, trains and automobiles. Lots of distractions at this course. Not enough to throw your game though. Nice, well kept golf course. Would play again.

Nick Facca

Nice course and play was very consistent. Ranger was a little annoying about the pace of play when we were not holding anyone up and moving along just fine.

Jeff Penning

Great course. Fast greens are always well manicured and green. Good putting area and a welcoming and warm staff.

John Crandell

Great public course in the Grand Rapids area. Well maintained and challenging enough for any level of golfer
