The Lake Course was named by Golf Digest as the 4th best new public course in America in 1993. And both courses were in the top 10 of Golf Digest's list of America's top 50 Affordable Courses.
The three courses at Grand National are also listed among the nation's 40 Super Value courses by Golf Digest's Places to Play. Grand National, by all reports, was the single greatest site for a golf complex Robert Trent, Sr. had ever seen. Built on 600-acres Lake Saugahatchee, 32 of the 54 holes drape along its filigreed shores.
With 12 holes hugging the shore, Grand National's Lake Course is every bit as scenic as the Links. Not only is the quartet of par-threes on the lake Course as good as in the nation, the 230-yard, island green 15th may be the single prettiest hole on the trail.
