Gillette Ridge

We paid 25$ for 18 holes with a cart, AMAZING deal! The course was kept in decent shape, fairways were a little brown and chewed up (probably the tournament that happened before we played). The pace of play however, was RIDICULOUS. We spent 5:45 minutes playing 18 holes. We sat at tee box after tee box waiting for the people in front of us to hit the ball. No rangers came by to check on the pace. The players in front of us seemed to think they were making $1,000,000 puts at every hole. We timed one guy and it took him 4:24 to make a put from ~5 ft from the cup.

Get a ranger on the course and get the people moving through!

The course has a nice layout but that's where it stops. It doesn't seem like anyone cares about this course. Bunkers have weeds growing in them and doesn't appear to have been raked in weeks. The greens are in tough shape and it doesn't help that no one cares enough to fix ball marks. The pace of play could be improved with someone managing groups.

Some complain it's too difficult Don't play the blues unless you can drive 250 yards. This course is typical of post 2000 courses. They have too leave wetlands alone and need to preserve a lot if natural features. You can't just play driver wedge on every hole. Conditions are a bit weathered but not unlike some international courses I've played. If you like challenges this has a great layout. Bogie is a good score on some holes.

Use this course as a last resort...no sand in the traps, only dirt. Greens covered with burned areas from fungus. Slow play as course too difficult for average golfers.

To start, the Pro Shop was sparsely stocked. We hit range balls to warm up. I have seen better ranges in cow pastures. The pace of play was somewhat slow. We did not see a marshal all day. The greens have spots that are dead. The greens were very bumpy. They did not roll smooth. Fairways were dead in spots. Tee boxes were in marginal condition. This could be a spectacular course if they would improve the condition of the entire course.

greens were good, could be faster, traps in poor shape but the layout is exceptional. Friendly staff, too.

Course was in good shape. Sand traps could use
some work. Pace of play was poor though.

One word describes this golf course, "HORRIFIC"!!! The fairways were beat, there was trash on some of the greens, geese feces every to include the greens, and even grass growing in what they called sand bunkers. There was a worker weed whacking the sand bunkers, yes believe it.

It's a shame because years ago this was a beautiful course. The owner should try another business because owning a golf course isn't his/her forte and GolfNow should not advertise this course.

The ee boxes (white) was a dirt track - greens were loaded with balls marks and brown spots - the traps was dirt concrete and loaded with grass - course has really slide down - I played it 5+ years ago and the course is night and day from the - $65 for 18 on the weekend is better spent elsewhere.

this course is one of the most difficult places I've ever played. I lost so many balls. The condition of the course was iffy.bunkers were not raked and hard as rock. Very hilly terrain with punishing cliffs and hazards on most holes. Looking for a challenge? Gillette is your place. Want to have fun? Go to a different track.

Pro was rude, booked a tournament and regular tee times intermingled resulting in painfully slow play on an impossibly difficult course. Never again.

This course is a bit challenging so it will give the higher handicappers some trouble. Played as a two-some with a four-some in front of us only on the front nine so pace of play was good. The course is very well kept.

These were by far the worst sand bunkers I've ever seen. There was no sand in any of them, just earth, rocks, junk. They were so hard packed, it was like hitting off a cart path. I was very disappointed.

Love the layout, but now conditions are being threatened by cost-cutting. Traps almost unplayable, greens dying for water, and clover growing in the middle of fairways. Rough had clumps of grass where you can tell they mowed (too late), and then left the remains in the rough.
Wish they could invest some into the course instead of letting it die a slow death. Maybe we'll go back in the fall.

My son and I played this course early morning on Saturday, May 24th. With the exception of unplayable bunkers, we really enjoyed the layout and challenge the course offers. This course will eat you alive if you are struggling with your line and direction, but it's a great design and very fair.

Compliments to the chef at the 19th hole. The food and Clam Chowder were fabulous!

Some extra attention to the bunkers and some additional yardage indicators and this is a course I'd play again and again.

Could be one of the best courses in the area but it's not taking care of. Best lay out around!!!

CONDITIONS OF GREENS AND FAIRWAYS ARE ADEQUATE. THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE ONE THE BEST COURSES IN THE AREA. HOWEVER THE COURSE IS BEING NEGLECTED BY THE PEOPLE CURRENTLY RUNNING IT. BUNKERS WERE UNPLAYABLE (REGARDLESS OF THE PREVIOUS DAYS RAIN) AND ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE PLANT GROWTH IN THEM. A LOT OF DANDELIONS AND CLOVER AROUND THE COURSE. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE NEW WILL PUT THIS COURSE BACK TO THE CONDITIONS IT DESERVES.

The traps are absolutely horrible. You hit out of hard packed mud. 95% are in this condition.

The golf course is on a beautiful piece of land. This course is a championship level course and would be a great course if maintained.

However, the past few times I've visited, the course has continued to deteriorate with tee boxes and bunkers in severe neglect. The greens and fairways were in average shape.

There are rampant stories about the company managing the course, but either way, the reality is that I would not recommend play to anyone until such time as the course receives a major overhaul.

Does anyone fix their divots at this course. Fairways on some holes were pretty beat up. Great layout. Over the past few years the course looks like it needs some work.
