About
Ironwood Golf Club has the distinction of being named one of Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play." Owned by the city of Gainesville, this popular course hosts more than 50 tournaments year. The course winds through a scenic landscape covered with century-old pines and sparkling lakes. Don't be surprised if you're joined by the wildlife that calls the course home, which includes deer and wild turkeys. The layout will keep you guessing with interesting twists and turns. The elevated greens have dramatic drops from front to back, making them a challenge to read. There are strategically placed bunkers throughout Ironwood Golf Club, as well as thick rough along the fairways. The obstacles combined with some tricky doglegs will make you think twice about swinging the driver too freely. Strategy, not strength, is the key to doing well on this course.

Gainsville jewel
First time I played this course. Staff very friendly. Could tell I liked it when I walked in. Not a business pretending to be a golf course. Range balls were reasonable. Putting and chipping assessable. Condition of greens was exceptional. Only a few blind tee shots but description was on score card so proper shot taken. Bar staff friendly and breakfast sandwiches good. Tee boxes need zoysia in the shaded areas but all in all a great course. Want to play it again.
Great Value
The course is well kept, laid out nicely, and is plenty challenging.
Thank you for visiting us at Ironwood Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Pretty nice course!!
The only thing that was frustrating during my round was the first level of rough was this thick almost puffy grass. You could literally lose your ball if you were off the fairway by a few feet. It also caused delays trying to find the ball when it should've been a simple find.
Other than that... it's a nice course with reasonable rates, pretty good food, and drink prices that won't kill ya if you want to throw a few back.

Ironwood
Highs: staff is friendliest of any course anywhere, pace of play was whatever we wanted, scenic with wild turkeys on hole 17. Lows: greens we're slow and a little bumpy from areating 2 weeks ago. Overall I recommend and give 3/5 stars.

Awesome course!
All around a beautiful course where you can really connect with nature. I’ve played most courses around Gainesville and Jacksonville/ St. Augustine and Ironwood is around the top. Well kept all around and the past three times I have gone I’ve seen some cool wildlife along the course.

Such a gorgeous day!
Greens and fairways are good. Most of the teeboxes are good. Bunkers need work. Pace of play was slow, but we expected that on Easter Sunday, without a cloud in the sky.
The staff (including the helpful starter) couldn't have been nicer.

A Great Day
We are just casual golfers but do enjoy playing this course. The condition of the course certainly satisfies us, all staff are friendly and helpful, and the pace of play was great - the course can sometimes get busy, but the Rangers will check and keep things moving. Will definitely come back to this course the next time we are in this area. Thank you!
