Bright-Grandview Golf Course

The Heart of America is the oldest continuously held hickory tournament in the world. Originated in 1978 by then GCS President and Iowa resident Warren “Ole” Olsen, the players in this long-standing tournament are a literal “who’s who” in the playing of modern hickory golf and traditions. 2018 marks the 41st playing of this venerable and most enjoyable hickory golf outing.
The only practice facility at Grandview is a putting green.
