It takes an invitation or membership to play there. I may be playing there in August with the Golf Association of Michigan. I've always lived near the place and never have had the opportunity to play, should be interesting.
Course is great. My brother is a member. Not overly tight in terms of trees but TONS of sand that pinch greens and fairways. Blazing fast greens. Fastest I’ve ever played.
Are you looking to eat around Benton Harbor, or drive up a little ways then stop? If you are looking to eat in Benton Harbor, I would suggest eating at the club house. They had great food when I was there and honestly Benton Harbor isn't a great town outside of the course. If you want to drive a little bit Saugatuck has Saugatuck Brewery which is good, and apparently Mitten Brewing Company opened up a Location in Saugatuck as well. I have never been to that location but if its as good as the one in GR I'd say make that your stop for sure. If you wanted to drive a bit farther Holland has some good restaurants. My wife and I always end up at New Holland Brewing Company so I would suggest that one as well. If you are looking a little nicer place in Holland Boatwerks sits on the water and has good food and mixed drinks. Next town up the drive is Grand Haven and Grand Armory is there the have good food and beers.... as you can tell my list is very Brewery heavy

Yes, you're correct. Not enough coffee this morning for me yet...
They were surprisingly pretty open with tee times yesterday. For a Sunday we didn't see anyone in front of us, we were only a 2some. We had a 2some behind us at times, but pace of play was great. Finished 18 in 3 hours. Course was in really good shape. Greens were rolling fast, but weren't too firm where you couldn't stick your shot if you were trying too. There were definitely some blind shots into greens, which was annoying but overall, if you had a reference point it was completely fine. And, the only reason I had some blind shots was because my slice came into play, so I wasn't able to hit my targets.
I'd do Timberstone or Sweetgrass depending upon the route you take back. Both are good tests and always in excellent condition. There's now a sister course to Sweetgrass called Sage Run. I've heard good things but haven't played it myself yet. If you have time on Greywalls day, the Heritage course (shares pro shop with Greywalls) is a decent course too and much cheaper.
A lot of help. I remember when that course opened as Beaver Creek and it was really nice. One of the first really nice courses I played.
Westwynd is very tough, almost too tough for my taste, but beautiful
Any course that is run by Vargo gets run into the ground. I have played some of the Vargo run golf courses and they just flat-out suck.
