Ironwood Golf Course

Nice course. Not too crowded today so afternoon hotdeal was great. Played in around three hours with some waiting on back nine. Layout pretty straight forward with accurate tee markers and fairway yardages. They use the flag on the pin method for green pin position, OK since you can visually see where the pins are on pretty much all the greens. Tees good, fairways require a litle of a roll for a good lie, bunkers looked good and there are quite a few on each hole but I wasn't in one all day. Greens pretty nice, fully grassed but SLOW, either putt was left just short or just didn't take a break. Greens all have some slopes that really would make putting difficult if the greens were cut shorter. From the fairways greens present a nice appearance since they are are slightly elevated with shaved fringes! Nice course, everyone I met was very nice. Clubhouse small but well put together, would of liked to have a couple of after round drinks but I had a little drive in front of me. Recommend.

This course is way overrated. The fairways were rock hard and chewed up in some places, and muddy in others. We played on a Sunday and it hadn't rained since Tuesday. I like the layout of the course, but I will never play this course again. The starter was extremely rude. My friend and I had a tee time, we hit some balls and were late getting to the tee box. We were then told that my group had already left. We were not told that they paired us with a single. The starter then told us it would be 30 more minutes because there was a foursome and three fivesomes that needed to go. There was several people upset because we were waiting and we had a golf cart. The course was out of carts and had to keep waiting for people to finish before anyone could get carts. This was a horrible experiance.

The course was in fair condition at best, as it had heavy rains recently, so it was cart path only. Pace of play was excellent, the greens very receptive and with a great deal thru golfnow, made a good day of golf all around

really like the new layout. Wish the greens would be rolled and cut shorter. Had a lot of fun playing with my family which included 2 junior players and the staff encouraged them that they are welcome anytime.

Fun and challenging course but does not drain well. Sand traps very wet. Greens firm but receptive. Staff friendly and helpful. Check golfnow for discounts or call course for specials

Great wild life, Turkeys, Deer and other birds
slow but challenging greens

On a beautiful day and not cart path only this course is fun one to play on.

the course was ok fairways need some help should not have bare spots during fall season. Greens were descent and challenging. Would play here again and would recommend the course to others if you can get they green fees around 25.00 I would not play here for more than that.

Very well maintained, green placement presented a challenge but not real hard. A lot of wildlife viewed while playing. I really enjoyed myself playing here.

Really enjoyed this course today the weather was great.

Ironwood is in good shape right now. The greens are super firm but very workable. It's been fairly dry the last couple of weeks and there were some damp places along the edge of the fairway, but nothing that was detrimental to my round.

Round really slowed down around the 5th hole due to larger slow groups, but it was a Sunday and I expected slower play. Rangers could be a little more active with pacing.

Ironwood is in good shape and is able to have a starter as well as course rangers and a drink cart. The course was in good shape with the greens a little slow and fairways in decent shape.

Nice course with friendly staff. Good for all levels.

This was my second round at this course which was just as enjoyable. If it were not for the slow pase it would of been a perfect day!

I would recommend this course to anyone. It's good very all levels, for all skills.

I have played this course over the years and seen it when it was in bad shape. This golf course is in better shape now than ever. The staff is very friendly as well.

Ironwood is a great deal for students especially with the Golf Now Hotdeals happening. The summer always brings with it lots of rain at certain points and lots of heat and humidity at others. The conditions were a little rough around the edges and the fairways were pretty dry. The greens are pretty tricky and with so much heat, they were clearly a little beat up. Overall, Ironwood isn't and probably will never be in the condition of Mark Bostick (UF) course considering they just put in new greens and bunkers but for roughly half the price it's a good deal. Great service, friendly people, and cheaper range balls than at the UF course.

Of the TWO regulation public courses in the county (not counting the par 60 place) Ironwood is by far the better of the two options. While it's not spectacular, the course is in pretty decent shape, and there are good practice areas as well. There are much better options if I want to drive another 20 minutes (for the same cost or even less) south of here, but I keep coming here fairly regularly, so that must say something good about the place

Really good course. In good condition and they have a friendly staff. Best place in Gainesville to play for the general public and one of the best overall as well.

I was told Ironwood was a nice, scenic course. It did not disappoint. The course was is solid conditions, especially amidst all of the rain that the area has had over the last few weeks.

I am disappointed in the normal cost of round. While I purchased my round on GolfNow for $25 at a 33% off rate, that is a bit high for a public course it seems.

I would say that it was worth the price, but I probably wont play there again for more than that ($25).
