What a great course

Greens were rolling straight, true and fast. Fairways and rough were in amazing condition. Some of the back tee boxes weren't in the best shape, but they are coming back very well. Course has seen a lot of rain this year. It was wet on this day, but carts were still allowed off the path. Though not a big deal at all for me, there is no GPS on the carts. I just know courses of this caliber usually have them. Staff was amazing as well, facilities were average. Had the course to myself on a Sunday with a tee time around noon. Never experienced that before!

Been a while.

It has been a few years since I played GSGC and I was very pleasantly surprised. The course is in very good condition. The greens are exceptional. The staff was very courteous and helpful. It was a great golfing experience and I will be returning soon.

10/10 recommend

First off the staff was amazing! John the Marshall, was as extremely helpful with course knowledge for some first timers at the course. Conditions were super, good tee boxes, good fairways, great greens, off the fairways doesn’t punish you too bad either. Holly on the Bev cart was running circles around the course, we saw her 3 times a side. If you’re in the area, you can’t go wrong with the this track.

Very good course

Impressed with the course. Greens were in great condition. Fairly open layout so you can really open up with The Driver, but challenging.
