The Gauntlet Golf Club

This course is unlike many others I have played. (Play about once a week at different courses around VA). A lot of short par 4s, dog legs, and blind shots. Course is in very good shape compared to those around the area and from what I have read is improving under new management. Greens are fast and tough with lots of ridges and elevated greens. Fairways are beautiful, rough could be a little more filled in but isn't bad either. A lot of fun different holes and every shot makes you think about that shot and the next one. Practice facilities are nice. Putting green isn't great, but driving range is very nice, good pricing for balls, and a solid chipping area with practice bunker. Overall a very nice course, staff were friendly, and a good place to play for the money. Only main improvement I could see is groups did stack on each other at times and could've been spread out more or start some groups on back 9. Overall a very nice place to play.

A private cart was made available for players not living with or travelling with golf partners. The course is in great condition for the time of year and inspite of a crowd we finished under 4 hours. I'll play here again ..

Gauntlet is always fun to play. Lots of blind shots though. Course was in nice shape. Needs some more work but it’s getting there.

Driving range and practice facilities so that’s always a plus.

I commend Gauntlet Golf Course for practicing social distancing. From the check-in to getting golf carts. The course is in great shape and well manicured. The staff at the front office/snack area were very friendly and efficient.

Greens were in much better shape than they were 3 weeks ago. They still have a ways to go to get back to normal.

I last played The Gauntlet in October of 2017 and I'm glad to report this most recent experience was much improved. The staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming, the conditions were excellent (for mid-February) and they even gave me a discounted walking rate that made it easily worth the hour+ drive from Richmond.

They've added an additional tee box (green) to the course to help pace of play and play-ability as well.

There are also fewer trees on the course then last I played here and that made the golfing all the more enjoyable. They recently began doing some course maintenance that's designed to help the grass grow in sooner and stronger in the spring, so I'm excited to come back and play again soon!

Greetings. This was a first time play for me at Gauntlet. Even though Feb 17, the experience was awesome. Course was in good condition for this time of year. A very challenging P B Dye course with some long and some shorter holes but with several twists and turns. This is not your flatland, easy type of course. The Bermuda fairways may have been dormant but were in good shape as were the greens. The staff was very helpful and fun to talk to. Even having a cold beer afterwards while sitting on the deck was a great way to wind down. I will definitely be back.

Love the challenge of the gauntlet. Wonderful staff. Great beer selection on the 19th hole

We went and walked 18. Greens were a little hairy but fun time.

Great course with a variety of challenging holes. Course was in decent condition for winter January golf. I will definitely be back again!

My brother came up from Suffolk and I drove down from PA, met half way to play a round of golf.

The two ladies working the club house (I can’t remember their names) but let me tell you. Those two are among the best in the business. Their knowledge of the course and their hospitality is awesome. Those two ladies made the trip worth the 3 hour drive to play.

The course was in great shape concerning it was late December, pace of play was awesome, only had to wait on a few holes due to blind shots and not knowing if we should tee off yet.

This course is now our meeting spot to play in the future.

This course is in the middle of nowhere. The good news it was out in the country surrounded by trees and autumn colors. That’s the best I can say. The layout is pretty challenging with quite a few blind shots. The course conditions ranged from ok to poor. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were patchy. The bunkers and traps were mostly hard pan or mud with weeds growing up. The pace of play was g l a c I a l ! I had to wait for the group in front of me who was waiting for the group in front of them as far as the eye could see in front and behind us. This track could use some change of management, quickly.

It’s not worth the drive- don’t bother

This was our first time playing here. Staff was excellent! Gave me a yardage book and even told me areas to watch for and places to aim for a better round. Course was in very good condition and there were lots of golfers out. Pace of play was ok...considering the amount of golfers. Definitely will play here again!! Thanks again for a very good experience!

Course was in great shape. Greens were firm and faster than normal. Made for a real challenge but was more than fair. Incredible value even at full price. Will play again and again. Club house staff couldn’t have been nicer and or more professional. Stayed for lunch and wasn’t disappointed.

I’ll be adding this into my monthly rotation.

This a a beautiful course—challenging. Very friend staff

I've been playing the course for the last 12 years and haven't seen it in this great of shape. It's always good, but with the new management, it has taken it to another level. From tee box to green, the course was amazing. I would definitely recommend this course, but please play with somebody who has course knowledge the first time. It is a tricky layout that requires you to put the ball in the correct place, this will make for a much more enjoyable round.

Super tough course. Greens are coming back nicely. If you score good here, you can play anywhere! Great staff.

The Gauntlet suffered from a grass disease a year or 2 ago. Fairways have recovered nicely but approximately 50% of the greens are a bit "iffy". If you have never played here, it is a definite must. Challenging layout and very fun. Top 2 favorite course in the Fredericksburg area. Staff is very professional. Enjoy!

Played here while traveling. It was definitely different from the short, flat courses we're used to in Florida. Every hole was up and down and either left or right. It was fun to play but I wouldn't want to walk the course.
