The front nine holes weave through wooded terrain, with the back nine exhibiting a links style layout. On the front nine you will travel over one of seven wooden bridges as you approach the third green with its intimidating bunkers. The greens throughout the course vary from long and narrow to wide and shallow. All are large and very fast. Twelve holes involve a water challenge, with six of those bordering the Housatonic River. Proximity to the river creates unusual winds that add complexity to judging your shots. The course is bookmarked on the south by the Housatonic River and on the North by a commuter railroad, creating an uncluttered, unspoiled golf experience.

A thirty-foot waterfall cascades just off the eleventh hole, making it a rewarding and challenging 218 yards. The signature hole is #15, a downhill par 3 with its green resting along the bank of the Housatonic River.

The Great River Golf Club golf course plays to 7,209 yards from the back tees for a course rating of 75.5 and a slope rating of 152. Par for the course is 72.
