Gem

This is a great course. The layout is very nice. The course is always in good condition. Some of the greens showed a little burnout. Not sure if it’s from the recent heat wave. It rained overnight so the course was very saturated. 90 degree rule in effect. The greens run true and are fast. Definitely worth playing if you’ve never been there.

Thank you Mayapro! Glad you had a good time. Yes, that heat wave after that wet spring sure has been tough on maintenance. See you soon!

Hidden Gem

This course has been around forever. I play it at least 6-8 times a year. The layout is great. Many holes have a fantastic view because of the level changes. Pace of play was excellent. Finished 18 in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Greens hold great and roll quick. Only thing lacking is choices for lunch. Pretty much a dog, brat or pre made sandwich. Highly recommend golfing there if you get a chance.

Challenging Course

Good course in great condition. Winds coming off the sound were crazy. Greens held great. Very tight course that will challenge every shot. A bit expensive for no real reason. Only need your driver for a handful of holes. Short course but extremely narrow. I would recommend playing this course.

Sandbox

We were approaching the first green and it looked like the grass was dead. Upon reaching the green, we saw that it was covered in sand. When we booked the round, they never stated that there was work being done on the greens. Still charged full price, at $45, when this time of the year you can play almost anywhere for around $30. So putting was to say the least, troublesome at best. Around the 11th hole they had groomed the sand off but the broom roughed up all the grass so it was standing up and torn. Another putting nightmare. I would say that the course should have informed golfers that the greens were barely playable and offered a discounted round or at least a chance to cancel the reservation based on such information. Probably won't be going back.

GBGC is one of the worst, least maintained, overpriced golf course in the area. You can play Glenview GC, Sunset Valley GC, and so many more for $45. Don't waste you money on this course. I would never recommend this course to anyone.

Great Layout

If you have never golfed this course, you have to go. The layout is excellent. Very hilly with many tee boxes well above the holes and fairways. The greens and fairways are in great condition and the rough is a bit longer so it certainly challenges you. I would recommend this course to anyone. Also take advantage of their specials like $30 Thursdays, which includes lunch with your round.

Excellent Layout

The course is tricky. Many shots are blind so you have to use your imagination. Better off being safe then adventurous. Very nice layout and tricky greens.

Wet and sloppy

The course was unusually muddy for a little rain a day prior. At this time of the year the grass is dormant so the only green on the course we're the greens that were dyed that color. You constantly had to move your ball to find a half way dry spot to hit from. The course should adjust their prices to reflect how playable the course is. I have played the course before so I know how nice it can be. The layout is very good and the fact that that it has 27 holes, the pace stays pretty quick throughout the round. I do recommend this course and will play it again myself.
