Gaylord Springs Golf Links

Really hate leaving such a review, but felt like my experience should be shared as I'd have never booked a round her had I read a review like this. I'll start with this, the golf course itself, layout, condition, etc is what I expected. It's a solid layout and for winter golf, was in great shape. That's the reason for the second star, nothing else I encountered was even remotely close to deserving the second star. The pace of place was the absolute worst I've ever encountered in my golfing life. I have an extensive background in the golf industry and I understand things like cart path only can make pace a little slower than normal, but an hour to play 3 holes, one being a 135 yard par 3, is ridiculous. We saw the "player assistant" constantly and finally asked him on the 5th tee why the group in front of us was so out of position. He did then go and ask them to speed up, but the damage was done...after taking over 2 hours to complete 7 holes, my wife and I were so fed up with it, that I simply decided to call my $200 I paid to play "money spent and a lesson learned" and made the decision to call it a day. We then decided that since we still had a little time allotted to our day, that we'd sit at the grill and have lunch. I can say the staff at the bar were very polite and great...but the food experience was unimaginable. Again, not trying to be too over the top with negativity, but this is by far the worst food experience I've ever had in relation to expectation vs reality. I feel certain the food was prepared well in advance and then just microwaved to service. We had basic items I figured any decent level golf course could serve easily, and it was atrocious. Chili cheese fries that there was no way the fries were just prepared and the then topped. Chicken quesadilla that was nor better than gas station/frozen meal prepared in a microwave worthy. Potato salad that was obviously put into a single service cup days ago and then pulled out and served. Meanwhile, it was all served on paper plates, with plastic utensils. All in all, I spent $300 for 7 holes of golf at the worst pace I've ever encountered, and a meal I wouldn't rank above a middle of nowhere gas station.

This course is fun and challenging. Almost every shot has some sort of hazard or OB in play and the layout is inventive. The pace of the greens and pin placement when I played were really challenging. I haven’t 3 putted that much in a long time. I’m ready to come back and try to get a better round together.

The course is great; the greens were in great condition, each hole is fairly open, but still challenging with hills and such. they have a driving range, practice putting and chipping. The course was really wet, but that was due to multiple days of rain and likely playing in December. The dark biege rough threw me off a bit as the pictures didn't depict that, but it was a welcomed surprise

Very cool golf course! Flatter than where I play but was a very fun experience.

Best greens I’ve played in a long time. One of my favorite courses. It was in perfect shape. !

You pay $170 green fee and they charge you extra for range balls and then make you hit off mats. It’s a bit annoying. I went out as a single and the other three golfer no-showed , same thing happened to a single in the group behind me. They paired us up we got through the first group out and played in less than three hours. Greens in excellent condition and don’t break as much as they appear.

This was a good course I would recommend someone to play. Good layout and greens were very good
