Country Club of Gwinnett

I played there many times the past 5 yrs. Reading some if these reviews compelled me to write this. The Course was in really bad shape, excluding the greens, 16 months ago before the present owners, McKinley Homes, bought the club. Since then, they have invested thousands $$ made massive improvements to the buildings and the course. When it was up for sale the fear was it would be auctioned off and replace w houses, No more golf there. The improvements have steadily continued w some holes being worked on w little inconvenience until the work is done. The kitchen also has great food, events, and specials on Facebook. Joe Shirey, Gen Mgr is doing great job running operations including advertising the course low $ rates and its amenities online. Greg Karbowski

My daughter and I were told to play with another couple ( they were fantastic). We finished the first hole and a man drove up to us from the group behind us and claimed he was a “marshal” and we were playing slow and we had to let them go ahead of us. This man was not a “marshal” and we weren’t playing slowly. We let them pass us and they were slower than us. Not fun! The tee boxes need a lot of work! Also, the fifth hole is temporary. It’s a forty yard par three. The greens were in excellent condition but the cart paths need major work. The starter was very friendly and helpful. Lastly, our golf cart kept dying on us (not just on the fairway but also on the cart paths). I use to play here all the time and was looking forward to this round of golf with my daughter. I have personally played here close to one hundred times in the past. I expected better and was, sadly, disappointed.

The greens have weeds growing and needs repair. The greens use to be real good.

The course is undergoing major renovations.

Trees are cut down, leaving a ton of wood whip everywhere. Giant hole in the middle of the fairway, renders #5 unplayable. On the day I played, 3 holes are affected.

Cart path is a rocky ride. Greens are OK, with weeds here and there.

I have certainly seen this course in better shape. I reckon it will be awesome next year, when all the work is completed.

Terrible experience. GolfNow showed 18 holes when I booked, but the receipt I received listed only 9 holes, and at check-in they even asked for an additional fee. Fortunately, I had screenshots of the 18-hole booking and payment, so I didn’t pay extra. However, the back nine was closed, and we were forced to play holes 1–9 twice instead of a proper 18-hole round.

There was no starter at the first tee, which caused four groups to pile up on hole #1 at the same time. Course conditions were awful — tee boxes had no grass and were filled with sand so tees wouldn’t stick, and the fairways were uneven, soggy, full of weeds, and poorly maintained.

Overall, communication, management, and course quality were unacceptable. This was a very frustrating and disappointing round

Nice course. Great pace. Convenient driving range. All good

Our first time at this course and we all had a great time. The only thing we didn't like was that we were not told that the back 9 was closed for the day. We only found out when the food cashier told us while stopped after hole 9. So, we had to play the front 9 again and it was much slower because other tee times were starting.

Only front nine was available to play twice. Only played the nine once.

I played the front nine only, though no one informed me that the back nine was closed until I got to the 10th tee to find no tee markers. I also saw no flags on any of the back nine holes, or any golfers. The greens were in good shape and fairways were mostly good. I was a little surprised to find weeds just off a couple of the greens and there were wet areas. The good news is that they are removing some trees from several of the back nine holes that are tight with them there.

Course back nine is under landscaping tree removal and renovation to open it up. We played the front nine and the fairways were mowed well, some standing water on fairways due to recent rains. Greens weee slow. Overall the front nine has nice views and was fun to play. Looking forward to the back nine renovation being completed.

Staff was friendly and helpful.

It seems the course or Golf Now should have told me it was a 9 hole course for 3 weeks. This of course puts 18 holes worth of players on 9 holes And slows things way down!! I find this absolutely inexcusable and I want 1/2 my money back. But it won’t happen.

The course is in great shape for the value. Back 9 is closed for the next month for improvements so you have to play the front twice.

Round took 4hrs 10 minutes. Tee offed 25 minutes after my scheduled tee time because it was backed up. They didn’t have any food available at the turn, and the water cooler on the course was empty. I’ll be back in the fall once the back 9 is open.

The course was in pretty good shape. The greens were smooth, and ran true. For the greens fee, this was a good value.

Got out decently early. Tee time was just before 9. Played as a single and was supposed to be paired with another single. He never showed so wound up playing with another two-some. Couple nice guys. The entire round no one was in front of us. One single did end up catching us and we asked him he cared to join or play through. He decided to join us. Also a pretty nice guy. Course was in relatively good shape. Greens were mostly well kept. I can only think of one green that had just a little patch of brown. Several tee boxes need some serious work. All-in-all, a fun course for an amateur golfer. Two of the par-3s were absolutely gorgeous and presented a real challenge.
