It's The Company You Keep

Played with 2 strangers and we all had a good time. It was wet, a few other people were rude. Staff was great as I have grown to expect. Will gladly go back in good weather as it is a bit of a drive for me,
Course was in good shape, not their fault it rained the day before.

Well the layout is fun. Fairways cut very tight. I know it’s May. I think they should b regrowing some of the tee boxes. They r pretty sparse. U can’t go wrong playing here. The staff is really nice also. I’ll b back.

Pleasantly Surprised

I haven’t played this course in over 4 years. Conditions were alway horrible. Now I know it’s early in the season but the rough was clean, fairways were great and the greens are getting there. I definitely will be back if it stays like this. Pro shop and rangers have always been great.

Pace of play

Pace of play was slow
took 5.25 hours to play 18 holes. Course should schedule tee times to 10 minutes apart instead of 8-9, this way players are not on top of one another waiting to play next shot

Great Time

We were a lady's group of 18. Working with Susan was great. She had our challenge markers out there when we arrived. Carts were marked and ready for us as well. When I checked in the gentleman was very pleasant. This was our first time on the course. I thought the conditions were great. The rough was rough in places but it was the rough! The gentlemen playing in front of us were very slow so that was a bit annoying, but it was a Saturday. Kevin our waiter was perfect. He allowed us to have 18 separate checks! The food was good, and the drinks were great. I'd definitely come back, and I would recommend this course to my friends.

It was Cartpath only and I asked a question why is it cartpath only it hasn’t rained in a week and the man at the desk just simply said my boss said he doesn’t want anyone on the fairways the fairways were Hard as a rock no puddles at all. If I knew that, it was cartpath and rough only I would not have booked there. I am 72 years old and I don’t like walking 18 holes when the fairways were hard as a rock. I think that’s gonna be the last time I ever play Gamblers Ridge because every time we play there they throw restrictions at us. If I Hadn’t driven one hour to get there. I think I would’ve called Golf Now and asked my money back, but I was with a friend.

You get what you pay for

Booked on golf now for $35 including cart. Problem with this course is that it seemed the fairways and greens had not been cut in many days. The fairway grass length was like the first cut and the greens felt more like what a fairway length should be. It was disappointing because I played on a Monday and it did not rain over the weekend so there was not a great excuse. Also many, many tee boxes are badly ripped up. Price and pace were fine but probably not a repeat visit for me.

It was OK

Round was a little slower than expected (5+ hours) and I am not sure why. The people in front of us were on the slow side but they seemed to be waiting for the people in front of them quite a bit. Course itself was in fine shape for this time of the year. They have an issue on the 17th hole of which they are aware and are in the process of fixing.

Waiting game

The day started having to wait for golf carts to come in to start our round. We all had wet socks from all the water and mud. Every hole had 3 to 4 foursomes on it and at least 2 foursomes waiting at the T box. Our round started around 220 and as we finished up the 17th hole we were told we couldn’t go to the 18th hole and our round was over. It would be too dark before we finished. That was at around 715. Just about 5 hours of cart path only golf and didn’t even finish. It was the most tiring and slowest round of golf I ever played.
