Slow Play Good Conditions Wooden Bridge in Need of Repair

The play was very slow, taking 4 1/2 hours to play this short course. Normally we can play in 3 - 3 1/2 hours. There are 2 wooden bridges, with 1 badly in need of repair. There were rotten boards and boards sticking up, with the worry of the golf cart falling into the (dry) swamp.

Bizarre pin locations

I made the mistake of booking this course without realizing it was an executive course. After getting over that shock, the course was not in great shape and some of the pins were on slopes that made putts impossible if you were above the hole. Some pin locations were just bizarre. On a couple of tees you couldn't even see the pin so the sot was blind. Will not play again.

Hi, Mark, we apologize there was some confusion about whether or not an executive course or a standard one. We are proud of our course and market it as an executive style but will pass on your feedback to our team so that this sort of mix-up does not happen again. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the course layout either. Your evaluation of our pin placement is important to us, and we will escalate this to the team in charge to make any necessary improvements before your next round. You rated our staff friendliness as the best part of your visit, and we hope that you can give us a second chance to impress you again. Thank you for golfing Kings Gate Golf Club, we look forward to seeing you again.

CHALLENGING!

As an occasional duffer, I really enjoyed this course.

I was not out to try and score well. I just wanted some inexpensive golf.

The course offers challenge after challenge throughout.

Narrow fairways and undulating greens sure got me a lot of strokes for the money. I mean that in a nice way!

If one is prone to anger, to blowing up, this probably isn't your cup of tea. If you're just out for some leisurely golf and want to work on your irons and short game, the place is ideal.

The course is well groomed and tidy.

Decent Short Course

Very short course. No driver needed. Distance from greens to the next green is extreme in most cases. You will need to take a cart. Nice condition throughout.

Short course that has its challenges - think the drought took away from experience but was not because of maintenance. Will definitely play here again. It was a very nice facility
