The Gauntlet Golf Club

Far too many hidden fairway shots and blind greens. Made me feel that the course was a bit gimmicky. Fairways were in great shape and the greens were good. Traps were extremely poor even with the most recent rains. Range balls were in extremely poor condition and not worth $4 for 25 balls -- too many dead balls.

The course was in pretty nice shape for this time of year. The greens were rolling well and also in good shape. They are doing a lot of work on the course to get it ready for the spring so I am hoping it will be great by the summer. The bunkers are a little rough but that is to be expected this time of year. The staff is always very pleasant and eager to help you out.

It is defiantly worth playing this course it does have some challenging holes.

For the time of year course was in good shape. Greens rolled well, fairways dormant but in good condition. Beautiful layout but some holes are quirky. No houses, very picturesque. Like what they're doing to open up the view of the holes.

I loved the course layout. Made you think about the shots which made it challenging. Pace of play was great and so was the staff. The only issue I saw were the bunkers. Grass growing in some of them, hard, not consistent.

This is a great layout and is worth playing. Tee to green in the fairway it is very good, the fairways are a bit long as they ready the Bermuda for winter . The rough is ok but irregular do not hit it there. Greens are still suspect but reasonably smooth where the grass is alive. Tough summer, some residual crabgrass and bare spots on the greens. Since the grass is a bit long on the fairways it is playing long. Play this course we need it to survive. BTW most of the data I see on golf now indicates it is a Dye course. I believe it is not. I think Dean Beamer design ed it. It is looking have fun. OH don't play the blues or back if you cannot carry it 210 there are several forced carries.

Course was in good shape & an overall pleasant experience. Played behind an unusually slow group on the first nine ... But next nine was good.

Exellent coursr green and fareway.

Nice staff and course layout. Greens were in terrible condition, aerated without online notice, and extreme amounts of sand, to include clumps and ridges. Bunkers in poor to average condition. No starter at 1st tee. I will play elsewhere in the future.

the coarse was great some still under repair but if u hit it in the rough at all you wernt gonna find it. i think they need alittle better grounds keeper there

This is definitely a shot makers course! A lot of blind shots and narrow fairways. The front nine is challenging but the back nine is more forgiving. Pace of play was excellent for a weekend and the staff was extremely friendly. Fairways were lush and most greens were in good shape. Would definitely play again if in the area.

So, for starters, I played one of my best unofficial rounds of golf ever here. I will get to why it was unofficial in a minute. The course was busy that day, but play was still average, about 4 1/2 hrs to finish 18.

I have never played on fairways as lush and thick as these. I don't think the cart's tires touched the ground the fairways were so thick. In a good way. As in your ball was sitting up on super thick carpet, like hitting off a live hitting mat at a driving range. You could feel your feet move the direction of the blades of grass as you took a step, that thick. That said, there are very obvious drainage problems as there are bare dirt low spots and this almost white crabgrass around some greens and other places. No one seems to fix pitch marks on the greens, which is a real shame. I fixed at least 5 fresh ones on each green I was on, not including mine. Inconsiderate.

The bunkers were so bad it was like they came off a decade-abandoned course and placed there. Hardly any sand, atrocious drainage problems to the point of some of them having drain pipes just sitting in them. The sand is so hard packed and unraked that your shoes hardly make marks, and don't even think about getting a club into the sand. Just bounces off and skulls your ball. Off you miss every bunker and hit greens every time, it's perfect. Otherwise you will be SEVERELY punished for average shots.

Booked my round through GolfNow site for a10:30am tee time. Arrived at the course at 8am figuring to practice a little and maybe get paired up earlier. Six cars in the parking lot so thought I would be able to beat the heat. Checked in with the attendant and asked about it. He said that since I got a better rate online, they would only honor my original time. REALLY?! Expecting to now wait for 2 1/2 hours I hear over their PA system that I'm on deck for the next group. What a jerk!

The course has a lot of blind shots and elevated greens you will need to use all the clubs in your bag. Staff was terrific and lunch choices very nice. The fairways are lush and the pace of play excellent. Well stocked pro shop-save time to shop. Lovely views of the lake from 7 or 8 holes.

This course keeps your attention. Move the ball around the course and keep it in play. Spray and Pray will not work here.

The course was in expected condition for the Fall. Greens are well maintained and staff is very friendly. Fun to play during the week as a solo and get matched up with some retired folks. They always have the best golf attitudes!

The Gauntlet is a strange course, it's a fairly straightforward woods' course with a fair amount of verticality, largely open...the woods don't really come into play much on this course. It does give you a chance to get into the fairway easily, but the approach shots here are simply henious. The whole point of this course is to make you outthink & outplay yourself, luring you into disaster. Playing tee to fairway to green in regulation is not just the only way to shoot decently on this course, it's the only way to survive it. But unless you are a solid player, it is almost impossible to do that consistently on this course. Well at least there are some nice lakeside views and it's a reasonably appealing layout, visually. Nice clubhouse too.

For the average player this course is too difficult. Too many elevation changes, 90 degree doglegs and side hill, uphill and downhill lies. The course is in reasonable shape for this time of year, though many sand traps need work.

Lots of leaves to contend with on the course and greens. But it is what it is during this time of year. Still enjoyed playing there.

Cold with light sprinkles did not effect round. Fairway dormant but full, tees needed cutting and greens needed blowing. For a Sat morning, this should have been done. Otherwise the course played as expected and price was excellent with a -72% hot deal.

Always a nice round with multiple lake view holes and plenty of challenge.

This was my first time playing here and it will not be the last. My other person I was playing with was running behind, and the pro shop made sure that it was not going to be an issue. The food is great and priced fair. The course is in excellent condition given it is almost November. There were some spots in the fairway but the greens are still green. I will say, the greens aren't the easiest, they don't play consistent as much as they should. But overall it was a great time
