Greens were outstanding! Fairways were mostly good especially for this time of year without any rain. There were a few bare spots but nothing to detract from the overall condition.

Please take into consideration that this review is being written not in total fairness to the golf course as they certainly cannot control the unbelievable amount of rainfall they had this past winter. Having played Pumpkin Ridge (Ghost Creek) in the past and absolutely loving it, I'm somewhat reluctant to even write this negative review. However, since the pro shop staff failed to warn me about the conditions, I am hoping that my review may help some readers. The course, in my opinion, is almost unplayable due the amount of water it has received. The front 9 was almost swamp like. Many tee shots in the fairway were constantly imbedded completely. The only way you could find the ball was if you were directly over it as no amount of ball was even showing above ground. We lost 5 balls that were definitely in the fairway on 3 holes (between the 3 of us). If you were off the fairway even slightly on many holes, your ball was lost as the sogginess was completely unforgiving. The back 9 conditions were much better than the front. I assume the back 9 simply drains better. Several fairways were top dressed with dirt/sand (I assume to soak up water and heal the grass) throughout the course so obviously you weren't even really hitting off "grass" unless you moved your ball several feet. My biggest complaint was that the staff never warned me about the conditions even though I inquired 3 days prior about the course conditions. Their response was "this has been a very wet winter but our greens are perfect". Their greens were indeed perfect but getting to them was extremely challenging.

Played this course for the first time. We were looking for a decent course without having to pay over $100. We decided on GCUGC as an option and very pleased that we chose to play there. The course was in excellent condition, challenging, and the staff was very friendly.

Absolutely beautiful golf course (South Course) with a terrific layout. Greens were in excellent condition. The only downside was that the fairways were extremely patchy. Hard to understand a course this beautiful would allow this to happen unless it is experiencing financial difficulty.

The course was in excellent condition considering the time of year.

The value was outstanding! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Value for the money was great. Pace of play was very slow (almost 5 hr. round) ! Greens were recently aerated (not notated) and made putting less enjoyable.
