Update: During Season of the Lost, the Grandmaster Nightfall difficulty will be available until February 22 when the season ends.
During a season of Destiny 2, there will be 6 total Grandmaster Strikes available. Normally these strikes will cycle each week; but towards the end of the season all 6 will be available giving you the option of which strike you wish to attempt.
Before attempting a Grandmaster Nightfall it's important to note that you will be severely handicapped. Enemies are going to be 25 power levels above you meaning they will always hit harder. To add to that, you will need to be within 25 levels of the Grandmaster before even attempting it; this includes bonus power gained from the seasonal artifact. Bonus power is acquired through normal exp gains from anything in the game.
To demonstrate: The current pinnacle power (as of season 15) is 1330. Grandmasters are 1370, meaning you have to be at 1345 to even attempt a GM. You do not have to have be at the power level cap to attempt a GM you just need to be at 1345. That being said, if you are over 1345 you will still be treated as if you were 1345.
Grandmasters, in addition to Legend & Master difficulty, do not have matchmakinng enabled so you will be required to find a fireteam of three. Unlike the other Nightfall difficulties, Grandmaster gives your fireteam a pool of lives that is shared. If your fireteam loses all lives or all three of you are dead then you will be sent back to orbit, requiring you to start the nightfall from the beginning. However, your team can earn additional lives by killing what is called a Champion.
Champions are present in the Nightfall Ordeal difficulties of Hero all the way to Grandmaster. They are a type of enemy that requires a specific mod to combat them.
The mods are as followed
Barrier: A mod that pierces barrier of a champion which will stun it. After receiving a certain amount of damage, Barrier Champions will erect a barrier that will make them immune to damage unless you use a barrier mod to destroy their barrier.
Stagger: This mod will produce a stagger-like mechanic after you ADS for a few seconds. This is used on Unstoppable Champions that have an aggressive behavior when compared to other enemies. Once staggered, the champion will be unable to move for a few seconds and will more vulnerable to damage.
Disruption: This mod is used on champions that have an erratic behavior known as Overload Champions. These champions are similar in behavior to the Unstoppable in that they will be very aggressive. Some will move faster while others will attack faster. These are by far the more aggravating of the champion types.
One thing to keep in mind is that the mods needed to combat champions can be acquired from the seasonal artifact. In addition, there are some exotics that will have an anti-champion mod intrinsically.
One final tip: if you ever decide to do The Glassway strike - don't. You'll thank me.

Can you do this at 297 level?

I was the only one at 300+, if you're close to 300 you should be fine. As long as your other two fireteam members are 295+ you'll be golden.

As of Beyond Light, the Leviathan raid is no longer in the game, so Bungie changed the requirements of this achievement to: Complete a Nightfall strike on Grandmaster difficulty.
If you didn't get to complete the Leviathan raid on Prestige (an amazing experience, I might say), getting this might be less or more complicated depending on how much you enjoy harder content. Nightfall rotations change every season, but there's always 6.
Grandmaster Nightfalls are some of the hardest PVE experience currently in the game, but with enough practice and a coordinated team, you can easily complete even the harder ones.
Considering the rotation of different strikes, some will obviously be easier than others.
I consider practicing with some good builds and then giving it a try.

Prestige difficulty can be selected from the Director when launching the Nightfall or Raid. The Power Level recommendation is 300, and you can not change your loadout after entering the activity. The timer on the Nightfall is shortened from the regular version, but other than that, it is largely the same activity, just harder.
Since this activity requires the highest Power level, I figured here would be a good place to link a guide to leveling. That guide also has links to two other guides at the bottom if you're still confused in any way. Between the three you should easily be able to get your Power level maxed out.

Beyond Light update: See Belly of the Beast. All of that information applies but this version is harder. Like way harder. The difficulty is set at about 20 levels over the pinnacle cap for the season. Grandmasters also don't become available until about halfway into the season.

It’s better to wait for the Grandmaster “Lake of Shadows”, look for a team and go through it

This trophy is earned by completing any Nightfall on Grandmaster difficulty. During each calendar week (from Tuesday to Tuesday), only one raid, randomly selected by the admins, is available for completion. If you have not purchased any DLC, then you can still get the trophy by waiting a week when a raid from the base version of the game is selected for completion (there are several of them - if it allows it in the group gathering menu, then you can pass).
One of the easiest raids to complete on the Grandmaster is Fallen SABER. If the other two players know what to do, then you can safely make it to the final boss, the main thing is not to die again. On the boss it is important to stand in the right spots. Video guide (en).
I recommend raising the level to at least -5 from the recommended level for the “Grandmaster” in the current season; if the gap is larger, you will die with a few hits even from the first mobs. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the entire passage. Completing the “Grandmaster” does not unlock the trophy for completing the “Master” - you must complete it separately.
