Gumba Golf

Course Conditions Were Compatible To More expensive courses in the area. Greens rolled true and were not overly fast. Bunkers are in Great Shape. (1st hand experience)

Staff was pleasant and despite what I’ve heard and experienced in the past they were actually very friendly. It was extremely hot so the smart golfers were almost done when we teed off. We were almost the lone twosome on the back 9.

Tee Boxes and who I was paired with

The course is laid out beautifully. The only problem with the course is the tee boxes are in terrible condition.

I had a 10:10 tee time on Friday May 30. I was paired up with an older gentleman named Harry who was a pleasure to play with. On the other hand, they paired us up with 2 younger men who had no business being on the course. They were abusive, disrespectful and had no regard for golf etiquette. The golf course should look up their names and ban them from the course

Playable

Staff friendly. You have to drive in uour car to the range which is mats only. The fairways and greens are in good shape. A mix of easy holes and tough ones. No bodies of water to worry about. I enjoy the par four par 3's. If you play the white tees or longer you will too. They give a Veteran discount on tee times. It is the closest course to my house so I will play it occasionally if I don't want to travel. Played on a Sunday for the first time. A foursome two holes in front of us ruined the day. Five hour round.

Great public course

We got stuck behind two groups of walkers and pace of play was so slow and we ran out of daylight on the 15th hole
