Too hot for golf.

Tees, fairways, greens and even the sand traps are in very good shape. I only have one complaint. The greens are way too slow to make any putts. Also, the rack rate at this golf course is much too high.

It was cart path only so there was way too much walking required. The course was in good shape except for the sand traps which were in bad shape because of recent rain. It is very difficult to get proper yardages to the hole because there is no color coded flag system in use. You will definitely need a range finder. My chief complaint is the price. My hot deal price was $65 which has increased to $74. I assume the rack rate is even higher. In my opinion, the course should be priced around $45. The course is in the middle of nowhere.

Nice Day for Golf

The greens are in excellent condition. The rest of the course was just average. To be fair, it is December and we have had a lot of rain. No grass on the fairways. The course is not long. The main obstacle to overcome is the extremely fast greens along with some brutal pin placements. Stay below the hole or you will pay the price. Also, most of the cart paths are in really bad condition.

First Time Playing

The tees, greens and fairways were in good shape. It was my first time playing the course and it has some very interesting holes that I enjoyed very much. The bunker complexes are very well designed. However, the sand traps themselves were completely unplayable. There is NO EXCUSE for the condition of the sand traps. I suggest a couple of maintenance guys and a rake or two would be in order.Also, there is no need to close the driving range ALL DAY on Mondays to pick up balls. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Disappointed

Course is average at best. Greens are not good. Tees and fairways are in good shape for the most part. Sand traps are mostly unplayable. I was told that they are going to reverse the front and back nines. THAT IS NOT HOW THE COURSE WAS DESIGNED. TERRIBLE IDEA!

Too Hot For Golf

The greens are unacceptable. Without good greens nothing else matters. Also, the front nine was closed for aerification purposes even though nobody did any work on it while I was there. The only blessing was that through discounts I only paid $1.10 for my round. All the greens were in bad shape. All of the fringes around the greens were completely dead. I had hoped the Course would have improved. It has not. Very disappointing day..

Course is in very good shape. Only bit of advice that I could give is to put some water on the greens. They are very firm and a bit on the grainy side for my taste.

Course is in good shape. It has improved a lot since last summer. Some of the sand traps need work and the fairways are thin in some places and the greens putt pretty slow, but it is a very enjoyable course to play.

Disappointing Day

Greens had been aerated and sanded the day before and the job was not completed. Course is closed on Monday so there was no excuse for it. Back nine was not open for play because of this issue. The rest of the course is in decent shape. Not great but not bad. Only played nine because the Course was too crowded to play the front nine twice. I had a hot deal rate so that was the only saving grace. I think the Course will be in much better shape in a few weeks. It needs to improve.

Hi, Mark. Thank you for reviewing Gunter's Landing Golf Club. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recovery the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next round. We are glad to see you rated the rest of your visit to be great during your game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

The course has improved a lot since last Fall, but they have a long way to go. Greens still need to improve.

Course has a very interesting layout. The Bermuda grass is starting to green up. However, the greens are just not very good. Maybe they will improve in the next month or so.

Course is in good shape for April. It played very long from the back tees because the course was very soft from all the recent rains. There was absolutely no roll in the fairways, but the greens were firm. That was an interesting combination. The only negative was the sand traps. They need work which is fairly commonplace in this area. Also, the cart paths need some work in numerous spots through out the golf course.

Course was in overall better shape this time. Sand traps had been repaired. Some of the traps could use a little more sand. Greens are just average in my opinion. Folks need to fix ball marks.

Course is in good shape. Sand traps are the best maintained of any course that I have played this year. Hot Deal rate was extremely good. The course’s rack rate is extremely bad. For those of have not played this Course, it is an extremely tricky golf course. You must keep the ball below the hole on the greens or you will be in for a very long day.

Course is in good shape. Local knowledge is necessary to play this course well. Greens are very difficult to play. Lots of undulations and extremely difficult pin placements. Lots of water and trees to avoid. The Course owner was very nice to me.

Hot day

The course has some very interesting holes that require some local knowledge. Greens putt much too slow. Fairways have way too much yard grass mixed in. Many of the tees were being resiodded and they needed it. Because of the tee situation, I was unable to get the full effect of the course from the tips. This started with the very first hole. Also, some of the yardages on the card are just not present on the course. Two examples are numbers 5 and 16. Both are par threes. Number five is listed at 215 and number 16 is listed at 152. I can assure you those tees do not exist.

Sunny day

Greens had been aerated and sanded so I have no idea how they would normally play. The rest of the course is in excellent shape. The course is very well designed with a variety of holes. My review would be better if I had some idea how the greens normally play. The greens are small and some of them had quite a bit of slope.
