Great Track, top notch facilities

I’ve played here 3 times, always a great experience. Course is friendly but challenging. On this particular occasion we tee’d off at 2:20, many of the greens had unrepaired ball marks. The groups earlier in the day didn’t fix them. This is not the fault of the course but rather the players that morning. It’s unfortunate that some people don’t fix those, it’s quite frustrating. Outside of that absolutely no complaints. Highly recommend

Always a treat

Rain was in the forecast so not may players on the course. The conditions were great. My only guidance is more tee times away from GolfNow. I am not sure if that’s possible.

Excited To Play

Really a first class course. Rolling fairways were pleasing to view.
Beautiful homes line the course. I was warned it was difficult to play, but it was challenging yet very fair. Wide fairways allow for an offline shot.
The greens rolled true and not to slippery.
I will play it again. But it’s a little out of my budget as a 14 handicapper.

Solid Course with great pace on a weekday

As previously mentioned, some tee boxes need work. Fairways and greens are in great shape and the course was wide open on a Wednesday afternoon. Fun and challenging layout, will definitely be coming back here.

Punched greens at full price

Only 17 holes available to play because the 12th was closed and aerated greens this week but still charging full price. Bunkers are in terrible shape for a course like this. The course is usually in better shape, but at least the staff was friendly.

Great shape but slow.

Course in great shape but didn’t see a ranger after one encounter on hole 4. Back nine had some new golfers in front of us which is fine but 2 open holes in front of them all the way in to 18. Fun round regardless but took 5 hours for our group of 4.

Great Layout

I really enjoyed the course, it was pretty forgiving for a high handicapper such as myself, and found the greens to be in great condition, soft yet with quite a bit of roll which was nice. The rest of the course was dry, which is understandable considering it’s winter. I am not sure if it was just the day I played but there was no option at the course for buying any drinks or snacks to take along on the round which was disappointing.

Great course - bad conditions

My regular group has played here twice now and we really enjoy the course. It’s a fun course that allows to attack if desired. It has roomy fairways and nice greens. It sets up really nicely for my game actually. The greens roll a little slower than I expect, but they are very receptive and roll true. The staff is top notch and the driving range and practice area are amongst the best you’ll encounter.

My only negative is that I believe the course should have been closed. It had rained all week. There was standing water on the vast majority of the fairway surface. Most of the bunkers were unplayable due to water and sand washout. Half of the tee boxes had turned to mud. It was an okay outing but no one wants to have to take relief to find an area that is not under water on the majority of the fairways. For the price, I would have rather they shut the course down and we could have found a goat track In similar conditions and enjoyed ourselves just as much. This day was not a day to be serious about golf.

Go-to favorite

Had a late afternoon tee time with my son and had the place to ourselves. I’ve been a member off and on for 10 years or so, but off now… I love this golf course, and they’re doing a good job with it.

Excellent Challenging Course

This is a big brawny golf course, with plenty of challenge for any golfer. Excellent driving range and short game area and a grounds crew that works hard - they were out trying their best to stay ahead of the leaves with their blowers. Not, cheap, but totally worth the greens fees.

All Around Great Golf Experience

Pros: immaculate course condition. fun course layout. fast & truly-rolling greens. top-notch practice facilities. beautiful club house. hardworking crew.

Cons: location that requires drive through the horrible weekend I-75 construction.

Still much better value than other overpriced courses on the I-85 corridor. Visit GTC if you love golf.
