Awful

Let me start by saying that this course has great facilities. A good range, large, nice putting green and a decent clubhouse/bar. For the area they charge what I would consider a premium price. The course was awful. Not a single tee box has a level surface. On top of that there is also a lack of grass on the boxes. If you enjoy teeing up in a sandbox you will feel right at home, that is if you can get the tee into the ground. The greens are diseased and spotty at best. Fairways are coming in, but several times was hitting off clay in the middle of the fairway. They do a great job at keeping the pace going, but lots of work needs to be done to make the course enjoyable. Very disappointed.

Great Time

First time I had played n several years. The course was in great shape for this time of year. Fairways a little dry but we have had a lack of rain. Greens ran smooth and true. Coming in nicely. Look forward to another round soon.

Stay away for now

The course is in terrible shape. Was a member her for 5 years and this is the worst I've seen it. Greens rolled fast and true, but other than that it was terrible. Seems the course is being neglected. It's sad because I really used to like this course.

lovely course

I really enjoy playing this track, the fairways are always in good shape as well as the greens and bunkers. New greens roll true and becoming receptive. My only complaint is the last time Ilayed here I was stuck behind a foursome on the 6th hole as a single and they would not let me play through. The course ambassador finally rode by on the 12th hole and I explained to him what was going on and he replied "what do you want me to do about it". To make a long story short it took me 4-1/2 hours to play a round as a single.

Always enjoy this course

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. Not very long from the back tees but still challenging. I played after a week of rain and the course was still in good shape. The greens are new and they were still firm despite all the rain. I have played this course several times since I moved to the area over the summer and have enjoyed it every time.

This course compares with most top courses in Georgia. It's design and layout provides excellent challenges for the avid golfer. This public course has well manicured fairways and the best greens around. My hat's off to the greens keeper. The facilities and staff are friendly and the service excellent. I am considering membership at this club for the future.

Nice Greens!

We played this course after a couple days of rain, so most holes had some "mush" in front of most greens.
Tee boxes were looking a little rough as well.
That being said, this course if fun to play. It can be a challenge. The greens are fast and large.
Great course , range and staff. Can't wait to play here again.

Players Club Membership here is a STEAL!

I am a players club member here which is literally the best thing I've ever done for my wallet and golf game. There's no mats at the range so you always hit off real grass which is really something to value. The putting green is HUGE which is nice. The course is in great shape right now and you definitely have to find fairways here or you will be punished.

There are a few minor things I would love to see changed over the coming months/years. The driving range is downhill and anything between (depending on the tee location) 130-160 and 240-270 completely disappears so you don't know where your balls are landing. The practice chipping area isn't too bad but it would be nice to see similar greens to the course with more space to actually hit 20-50 yard shots. The last thing is some of tee boxes are a little crazy, ie no. 2 back tee is almost entirely blocked out by overhanging limbs and the only way to hit the fairway is to hit a cut/slice as anything straight or drawing will end up dead. Similar with back tee of no 11, especially if right pin placement. Otherwise, proud to use this as my home course!

5 Hours to play 15 holes

I play this course about a dz times a year...normally 4 hours to maybe 4.5 hours even on a Saturday is the norm...we got in 15 holes in a little over 5 hours before the rain came...to be fair I'm calling it out of the norm.

The course itself...Apalachee is in great shape, maybe a tee box or two they need to figure out what type of grass will grow on them, but FWs, Bunkers, Greens all in good shape....2nd yr for the new greens...more receptive now and they have cut them down...considerably faster than this time last year.

Right now, fairway is a premium. Rough is thick...watch them closely or you will spend a lot of time looking for your ball in the rough.

May not be the greatest layout for a golf course, but it's challenging and fun to play...you have some great risk reward type holes, and you have some holes like 18 where par is will be well earned.Hard to find a better value in Gwinnett county.

Great Course Unfriendly Staff

I love coming to this course because it is less than 5 miles away from home. However, when I played there this past Sunday the gentleman working the check in desk (Patrick) was very rude. I explained to him that instead of a four person group we have three, and before I could explain why, he told me there is a $20 fee for "no shows" and that he was being nice and not going to charge me. I tried to explain to him that my friend called me ten minutes ago and let me know that his wife was up all night sick and pregnant, and that he was not able to make it. After hearing about his wife, the last thing on my mind was to call the golf course and let them know. In any event as my anger increased, the gentleman at the desk began to get angry with me because I said that I did not appreciate the way he was talking to me. He yelled at me and said I don't need your business, we have plenty of nice people here and I (Patrick) should charge you the $20. Needless to say, I will no longer play at this course, If that is the way they feel that my money is no good there, I have no problem taking my business elsewhere. I am a players club member and I have played monthly tournaments at the course. I am shocked and appalled that this prestigious course would treat a member this way.

This is a great course but it took us 5 hours and 30 minutes to play 18. I don't blame the course management but slow players. One foursome held up everybody.
