The Gauntlet Golf Club

play was slow because league was playing - probably started t-times too early - great course - enjoyed the array of shots - you will all the clubs in your bag - every hole unique - greens tough from aeration but fair.

This course has horrible greens , terrible range balls , absurd onjulation with too many blind shots and was no fun to play.

First time on the Gauntlet and enjoyed the round. Course is fairly challenging with a lot of doglegs and blind shots. Fairways were in excellent shape and you never had a bad lie. The biggest problem is that they were having some sort of event with the State Park that day and they closed the driving range and made some sort of "goofy golf" course on the putting green so you could not use either one to warm up. Got no real problem with this, but when I called to make my tee time the person at the golf shop didn't say anything about it. Would have really been nice to know the driving range and putting green were closed today. Come on Gauntlet, let folks know what is going on when they call for a tee time if the course is not full up!!!!!

Took advantage of a Golf Now offer because I had business to conduct just a few miles from this course. Finished the job early so I went right to the course arriving 1 hour and 20 minutes before my tee time. When I presented my Golf Now coupon to the desk clerk, he seemed to scowl at me in contempt, like I was stealing money out of his pocket due to the discount. There was no Starter; no one on the first tee box; and no other people signing in; and since I was a single, I suggested that I get off while the place was empty at the time. That is what a thinking person would do, but this not-so-friendly guy said, in his own words, that since I had "one of those special times, that I would have to wait". That sounded ridiculous to me, so I did some warming up and some putting. After about 20 minutes, a single person finally showed up on the first tee box, while I was still waiting. One of the staff members who was attending the carts couldn't help observing me, and he asked if he could assist. I explained that situation, and he went inside to ask if I could play, but was told in no uncertain terms that I had to wait. After another 20 minutes passed, another single played. After yet another 20 minutes, I was there for 1 hour and a grand total of two people played before me, but I still had to wait. By that time, two foursomes were just arriving, and I was done waiting, so I went in front of them after obtaining their approval to do so. By the time I teed off, I was really teed off, and it ruined the round for me. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN.

But this time out, the greens have just been aerated. I wish golf courses would post on their websites when the courses were under repair!

Outstanding all around fairways , greens overall conditions prefect

I have played this course many times. It is never busy and I have never felt rushed. The course is great and well kept. The staff is courteous and makes you feel welcome. Food is always good and priced fair. Wish I could play every day.

Overall, a good experience. Greens wouldn't hold shots and balls landing on greens easily rolled off. Bunkers too hard packed....mostly dirt rather than sand.

This is definitely a shotmakers course, so be ready for that. A very interesting layout that will test you, especially your first time around. A short opening dogleg left hole leads to holes 2,4 and 5 that will require your most accurate shots. And so it goes from there.
Course conditions were very good tee to green. Fairways and greens were excellent (with the exception of #17 green), but avoid the rough which was heavy.
Overall I really like this track, so get out a give it a try - I think you'll enjoy it!

I've been playing here since the course opened in 95. It is in the best condition I have seen. Plush fairways, greens that roll smooth and true and refreshed bunkers.

You have to think your way around - sometimes a 3 wood or 3 hybrid is the best weapon off the tee.

It's a must play in Stafford/Fredericksburg.

Overall an excellent value! Two different nines - I preferred the back nine (excellent) This is a very good test of golf especially front nine - tight. Driving range balls were worn out; staff very accomating and friendly. A very good course for the money. Want to play it again sometimes.

This course plays nicely and the fairways are like hitting off of carpet.

Course is in very good condition. Best fairways in the area. Greens roll nice.

I play this course quite frequently and I have seen it change over the course of the past 10 years. It has never looked as good as it does not. The layout is challenging but the course has evolved to fit every level of player. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the area looking for a fun time on the golf course!

I absolutely loved playing this course. It was so great that I played through rain and not so pleasant weather from the 5th hole on. I had a great time and a pleasant, yet challenging experience. It was wonderful!

Played this course Father's Day and it was pretty busy. Pace of play was slow, but that was expected. Course was fairly well maintained, solid greens, thick rough, and lush fairways. Some irrigation lines under ground cause some low gullys in a few fairways but no big complaints. Staff was friendly and helpful. Challenging but not overly difficult course, lead to an enjoyable round.

Prepare to have some interesting lies, but this course is a lot of fun. Nearly every hole has some combination of water, uphill or downhill approach shots and tee boxes, and big undulating greens. Personally, I love courses like that, but if you're used to playing down and back, flat golf you'll hate this place. It's a great, challenging track. Bring plenty of balls.

This course provides it all. Tough holes, easier holes, long holes, short holes. Nice layout. The staff was very friendly and the course was in nice shape.

I have played the toughest courses in the tri-state area and this little course will test you on every hole.. I love the challenge every time I go out. The people are great and the head pro Mike Byrd is one of the nicest golf pro's you will ever meet. He has been there many many years unlike other golf pro's who bounce around from course to course. He is a great teacher and easy to talk to. Mr. Byrd keeps the course in good condition all year round . Go see for yourself..

The set up of the course was well laid out, with narrow fairways and rolling greens.
