Gillette Ridge

This Arnold Palmer course is extremely well designed. Every hole is a challenge and each one is unique. You will use every club in your bag and need to improvise with some of them. Unfortunately, the course is in serious disrepair. All the bunkers are stone or sand/dirt that's turned to concrete and rough is way too high. This is a great shame. I can't recommend the course at all until they get their act together.

Course was in fantastic conditions, staff was friendly, the only complaint was that it played on the slow side. It is to be expected as I played 1:00 Saturday. Plan on playing there again.

Starter was great and friendly. Course was in good shape but fairways we're a little thin so it almost seemed like a penalty. The real penalty was the bunkers. There is no sand in them, but plenty of rocks. No evidence that maintenance made an attempt to maintain them. Rough was uneven. Pace was ok but people think they can play from the blues and painfully that can't. Still finished in 4.5 hrs will still go back

Players recently taking up the game ,or those returning to it recently because of COVID ,need to familiarize themselves with golf etiquette (ready golf…allowing faster players or smaller groups to play through…consideration for others playing).Unfortunately ,inconsideration for others has become the “new normal” in everyday life.

I have played this course twice. It is challenging with a good layout. Very good conditions, though the bunkers are in need of attention. Spoke with the GM who explained the bi=unkers are the next priority. Will play here again

I loved the layout of this course. Really penalized you when you hit a bad shot. The only negative would be the fact that the bunkers looked totally neglected. Not raked, footprints throughout and just not kept up. With that being said, I loved the course.

Really challenging hole locations, lots of water and sand so that each hole is really it’s own entity that requires its own strategy.

The bunkers are the worst I’ve ever seen…what a joke.

Cart path only and NO RANGER

5 hours and 20 minutes for 15 holes finally quit!!

Considering all the rain we’ve gotten in the last few weeks the course was in good condition and very playable. Staff was great.

Gillette Ridge is one of the best public courses in the state, as soon as you arrive the staff you meet at the bag drop, and golf shop are friendly and accommodating. The starter, Chris is also a great asset to the course. I showed up on a cloudy day, it started to rain as I got to the first tee, he offered to let me borrow his rain pullover, I thought he was joking until he pulled it off and handed it to me!

Great layout, and not an easy course, the course forces you to hit every club in the bag, and the course is always in good shape. If I didn’t live 40 minutes away, I’d play it everyday.

The staff at the bar and restaurant are also very friendly and I’ve never had a bad meal.

We went after a weeks worth of rain but I have to say the course held up extremely well minus the traps (but that’s to be expected). The staff was amazing from bartenders to the pro staff and the starter(Chris) who went above and beyond to make sure we knew the ins an outs of the course. I will definitely make my back there hopefully when it’s a little dryer. It is definitely a challenging course that makes you use all the clubs in the bag.

The greens and fairways are too firm!!

Too many divots.
