Good everyday course

I always enjoy the course it does have issues with water drainage but not much it can do about that. A fun course to play and good challenge for every level of player.

Gainesville CC

This course used to be one of the better courses in the town and is trying to make a comeback. Prices are good through Golfnow. Customer service is good and course layout is nice. The overall course conditions need improvement especially in the fairways and tee boxes where grass is dead in a lot of places. If the course condiitions get better it is a nice course to play

Another Enjoyable Round at Ocala National

I travel from Gainesville to place this course and always enjoy my rounds at this course. The course has great routing and the conditions are always very good. I would recommend this course to someone wanting to find a place to play regularly this is the place to play. It tests your game and really provides a nice challenge. I will be returning again very soon.

Nice Overall Routing and Friendly Staff

I have lived in Gainesville for more than 20 years and have never had the opportunity to play Gainesville Country Club. My brother and I played and enjoyed the course routing and friendly staff. The course hopefully will be able to continue improve the overall course conditions. Most of the tee boxes had no grass left and many parts of fairways did not have any solid grass. The greens were above average but in time will need to be maintained as well. I would love to see this course succeed and it is the proverbial problem of spending on maintenance of the course to get continued play etc. Will play again soon to see if the conditions have improved at all.

Greens need major repairs

I play this course a decent amount and this was by far the worse condition wise I have seen it. The greens are in severely bad shape possibly some too far gone and will need full on repair. Staff friendly as well as all the cart girls who are always nice. Need to really get a hold on the condition aspect of the course.

Nice day to Play Golf

The course was busy which was nice to see. The fairways in good shape considering time of year. A good amount of the greens has some significant burnout issues and those areas were covered with a layer of sand to protect them. So the greens are not rolling true. Good day to work on all other aspects of ones game.

Green Burnout Issues

This course is usually a good mainstay for me as I have played many times. Course presents some decent challenges and one can work on various aspects of their game. Staff is always friendly and it is a good buy with the Golfnow hot deals, This round the back nine greens were clearly burned out from possible over fertilizing of the those greens. Front nine was in good shape. Good bar area and cart girls are always nice and friendly.

Course conditions still need work

While the aerified greens and fairways look better than five weeks ago, there was way too much top dressing still on the greens and thus sand kicking up when putting on the greens. Secondary rough needs to be cleaned and up mowed to make for a more delineated area from the fairways. Hopefully the greens and fairways will come back in the coming weeks.

Unplayable Conditions

I have played this course a decent amount and was very disappointed this time. I arrived at the course and the course had just completed aerifying the greens and fairways and putting top dressing on. I had no idea as nothing was stated on Golfnow at the time of reservation. The course should have been closed for at least a week or two after this heavy of maintenance was done. There was no reason to even putt on the greens and almost all of the fairways were just unplayable. I am glad they are keeping up the maintenance but a lot of courses aerate greens and fairways and close the course for play for a couple of weeks so they greens and fairways can bounce back. For people playing the course check the course website to see the status update. Overall if I would have seen the website posting about this I would never would have played the course until a few weeks after these procedures.

A lot of courses "close for a couple of weeks" after aerating? I'm not sure where you're from, but I've never seen that and I've played all over the Southeast for the last 30 years. I'm also surprised at how many people are 'surprised" by aerated conditions when they arrive at a course. I ALWAYS call this time of year to inquire about this.

Great Day at the Course

Have played the course a few times over the past month and the conditioning is starting to improve each time. Hopefully as the season progresses the greens and fairways will continue to improve. A nice course to play in Gainesville with some nice challenging holes.

Course conditions need some improvement

Course is a nice challenge and layout. Need more course maintenance to get the greens, fairways etc in better shape. Staff are friendly and it is a good course to work on your game. Improved driving range is also an asset but practice green and chipping greens are basically not usable due to burnt patches etc. Pace of play is good and was overall a good value for the money.

Course conditions need some improvement

Course has a nice layout and presents some good challenging holes. Greens were in fair to poor condition and assume they had been aerated and hopefully would be in better condition soon. Staff is friendly and driving range is really nice. If the course continues to improve course conditions it will be a great place to play on a regular basis.

Course needs better overall drainage

Course is a nice test for everyday amateurs but until drainage issues are addressed it makes the overall course conditions below average. Fairways were not consistent throughout and greens were showing wear and tear from the heat and humidity. Would play again as certain times of the year the course does play better. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Great golf experience

My brother and I played this course and had a great day from start to finish. Live in Florida and played a lot of courses in the North Florida area and this is by far the best. Course conditions were perfect, greens, fairways were lush. Vincent Pugalia the PGA professional and staff were friendly and made the day that much better. A great value for a quality course for golfers who want a well conditioned course. It always makes for a better day of golf. A five star experience

Great day of Golf

Course was in great shape after a long winter. Greens and fairways in really nice shape. A unique North Florida golf course. Undulating fairways and greens and an almost desert like style course. Good pace of play best time to play early to late afternoon as course opens up etc. Overall a recommended course while in the Ocala area.
