The Gauntlet Golf Club

Temporary holes on 4 and 13, bunkers and greens in bad shape.

I came to the course for the first time yesterday. Drizzly day and very quiet on the course. Had no idea what to expect. Pro shop was closed but the bartender on duty Debra was very friendly and knowledgeable about the course. Told me current rates and all that was going on with the greens. Knowledgeable about the beers on tap and in cans as well as the food listed on the menu. Also quite knowledgeable about golf. It was a great course and a great day. I would recommend this course 10/10 if someone wants a good day where they walk in a feel like they are at home.

Will definitely be back soon to play golf. But honestly I would come back anytime for a drink and a good conversation with Debra, spectacular service and a very polite, well spoken woman. If her father or mother is on her I applaud you for how you raised her. And to the owner of the course I applaud you for how well trained and knowledgeable she is.

Great day.

Great experience

I played this course a few months ago and it was in good shape. This time, not so much as they had multiple holes with temporary greens. The greens that weren't temporary were also not in great shape. They claimed that the greens were aerated, but it appeared more than aeration as being the issue with the conditions of the green. I'm fine with paying a course that is being worked on as long as i know ahead of time of the condition of the course and the greens fee set accordingly. This course needs to ensure that they post the current condition of the course and adjust the fees accordingly.

Lost several greens, but they working hard on it be nice by fall.

Super excited to play. Drove over an hour but the greens were horrible. No notification on GolfNow about greens condition . Recently aerated but still a mess. So much dried out spots that were just dirt. 4 of the holes, the greens were taken out of play. Instead about 15 feet in front of the green there was a flag and a hole about a foot wife you putted into from the fairway. Kind of ridiculous.

Overall the course would be good but this really turned me off. Couldn't putt on the greens at all. The practice green was also out of order, which i guess didn’t matter on their greens. Also the driving range was ridiculous cause it was so wet. Literally just a mud pit. I just wish i was notified before hand before paying $75 a round. I don’t think i would have payed $20 would i have know what i was getting into.

started off slow remained that way till fourteen captain choice shotgun stated in front of us four hours thru 13 waited on every shot. dirt spots on most of the front nine greens rolled ok /rest of the course in pretty good condition last four holes played at a good pace

Cart paths need a lot of work, but the course is challenging. It rewards good shots and penalizes poor ones, which is what a good course should do. Watering of the greens is needed given the sustained hit, dry conditions but, overall, the course is an enjoyable test.

Given the summer heat, the course is in great shape, especially the greens. Staff is fantastic. Thanks!

The Gauntlet is a short course with many holes playing as true target golf. This isn't a bad thing, but it would be nice if more risk/reward options could have been integrated into the design. The green contours are very fun, but they aren't fast enough to truly take advantage of them. It was surprising that a course with such interesting greens did not have good greenside bunkers.

The major problem with the Gauntlet is that the conditioning is just bad. All of the fairway bunkers should have been marked as ground under repair. They claim the fairways are zoysia, but it looks like they were never maintained, and now St. Augustine grass has covered most of the surfaces. The course needs a massive tree pruning and thinning program to allow for more light and circulation, and thus better conditioning.

The other problem with the course is pace of play. Target golf courses just can't space out groups, so a 4.5 hour round is going to be the average, and I can imagine it getting a lot worse.

A dedicated management company that knew what they were doing could do really well with this course. I probably wouldn't play it again, but given the lack of good golf courses in the area, it may one of the better options in a bad situation.

I'm not done using GolfNow. First, let me say, the most recent issue I had with GolfNOw was totally my fault. I scheduled a hot deal round for the wrong day. I understand fully the cancellation policy for hot deals. I was trying to get them to give me a credit for a future round and I could not get anyone to discuss the issue with me. I never checked in at the golf course and the course claimed they did not receive the money I paid for the round, So someone will profit from my mistake. I also had an issue about a month ago where I had a reservations and conformation number, but the course did not received the info from GolfNow. Again I lost money. This time of year I play golf at least twice a week. I will NEVER use GolfNow again and I hope get their act together.

Great and challenging golf course to play. The entire course is in good condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful.. I play this course a lot and it gets better every time.. I lose some golf balls but have fun...

I was initially hesitant to play the course due to local rumors of its bad condition. However the fungus that made it terrible is completely gone the course, except the tee boxes, is in great shape. Greens are speedy and deceptive. The layout is challenging but very manageable for a mid-handicapper. I will definitely accept an invitations to return and play throughout the season.
