About
The Gauntlet is situated along the banks of the lake that is the centerpiece of Curtis Memorial Park. When it first opened in 1995, Golf Digest recognized it as one of the "top ten new courses to play in the U.S." This challenging layout will definitely test your shot making abilities. The golf course begins with a tough front nine that has several sharp doglegs over water and tall grasses. There are also a slew of blind shots. The back nine is a bit gentler since there's less water and it is more open and forgiving, but the large, multi-tiered greens can be tricky. The fourth hole is the golf course's signature. Your tee shot will have to carry a marsh to a narrow landing area on this par 5. After that, you'll be faced with a triple-tiered green with the lake to the left and bunkers to the right.

Challenging but fair
Keep your drives in fairways. It had rained a few days prior. Traps were muddy. Tee boxes need grass trimmed. Faiways wet at spots otherwise good. Greens in good shape but slow. I can see the course's full potential as these conditions inprove
Aeration warning by golfnow would have been nice
The course was great other than the fact that aeration had been done the week prior. Hoping to get back in a few weeks.
Great Course, Tough Greens, Excellent Variety
This course is tricky! It’s not a bomb it and find it course! You better be accurate off the tee and really think two shots in advance! The greens are tough but true. A great thinking golfer’s course!
Honest Review
Played the Course it was a bit more challenging than I expected. Fairways were great and most of the greens were really good too a few bad spots here or there nothing to really complain about. I would definitely play it again.
Challenging
The course layout is nice and it demands respect. However, the fairways need improvement. The price doesn't match the condition of the course.
Not sure if it was the time of year but the course was pretty quiet. Fairways can be steep and lots of dog legs but they are wide.
Excellent course
Great course will definitely go back. Looked crowded but once you got out there it was like you had the course to yourself.
Great course
The Gauntlet is a very challenging course, looked like it may have been crowded but we never encountered anyone, like we had the course all to our self.would definitely recommend this course to everyone.
Fun place
Only play d the front 9, but it’s a fun layout. Many hills, several blind tee shots.
The greens were well maintained, no weeds, well kept, but they were slow as can be. I play at twin lakes a lot and I consider those slow … but the Gauntlet was slower.
Over all recommend, I’ll be back there, liked it.
Solid
Hospitality is the clear winner at The Gauntlet. Carts suck though!
Tricky course. Requires a lot of shot shaping. Several blind tees. Good amount of water although not in play.
Will return.
