Country Club of Gwinnett

Whoever thinks it’s a good idea for a group of 5 to play on a crowded golf course is beyond me.

Showed up Saturday to play a round and they overbooked the course. I had to cancel my round. No golf carts available. No range balls available.. They did tell some lady if she wanted to hit range balls, she would have to go pick them up herself. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I will never be back.

First, with the exception of the par-3 holes and maybe 2-3 other holes, the layout is a complete joke. There were several par-4's where I could not hit my driver, and I was playing the blue tee boxes. I teed-off with a 7-iron on one hole, a 6-iron on another hole, and a 4-iron on two holes. One hole, I forget which number, has a rip-rap filled drainage ditch I guess running RIGHT IN THE LANDING AREA. I hit a good drive, it was heading just right of the ditch and would have been perfect, but the fairway is pitched toward the ditch right there and yep, my well-hit ball bounced left and into the ditch. STUPID design. And rolling fairways? HA! For one hole on the back, you have to tee-off to a severely up-sloped fairway, so severe that you cannot see if the group ahead of you has moved on or not! I could go on, but the layout is terrible. Second, the trash can at every tee box was overflowing and trash was all over the ground. Third, I go into the golf shop (which has virtually no merchandise, forget about buying a sleeve of balls) to get waters and crackers, but he had no crackers and everything in the cooler was frozen solid. And of course, the grill was closed and I could get nothing in there. GREAT! The guy at the golf shop counter grabbed me a couple of bottles of water from the grill, but did he offer to grab me some crackers as well? Of course not. Fourth, the greens were like concrete and the fastest I have ever played. Fifth, it took us nearly two and a half hours to play the back thanks to a 3-threesome that was holding everybody up. This was a total waste of my time and my money. I only played here because of the positive reviews. Needless to say, I was hugely disappointed.

Tee times was at 8 am....nobody showed up to the course until 730 am...they have a driving range but no balls, they have a full grill and bar but no food, not at 8 am not at 12 pm. Could even buy so much as a bag of chips

No range ( out of balls?) no snacks…at all. No food. No balls for sale. Clubhouse was completely empty. Had to wait 20 minutes for a cart. Cart went dead on 12th hole. Brought another one with no brakes. Couldn’t park it anywhere because the parking brake didn’t work. Fairways were in horrible shape. I’ll never go back!

Course is solid, decently maintained, and is a fun challenge, especially for the price.

The check in person was great, cart maintenance crew was nice, and the starter was great.

We played a weekend round starting at 10 am. The course plays well, doesn't have too much traffic, and is in solid condition, even for a September round. Some place could use some clearing, but nothing insane.

However, the amenities were in rough shape. The men's bathroom was in hilariously bad shape, with, well, "human dirt" mattered on both commode, sinks that howled when turned on and only one out of the multiple lights actually working.

The course bar/snack shop was completely closed, because "someone didn't show up" which is very odd, especially for a Sunday. We had to buy a snack at the check in desk.

The driving range could use a bit of cleanup, at least a wash of the mats would be killer, but nothing game-breaking.

Overall, this may have just been a "bad day" for course and amenity maintenance. Good course, friendly people, but maybe hire another person with a liquor license?

Will play again, as the course itself is awesome. I feel bad for the people that live off of the 8th fairway.

The overall course was in average shape. The greens were awesome, course had numerous bare spots and ground under repair in many areas. Our cart was replaced as we barely made the turn, only to be replaced again after hole 12. We barely were able to get in with the third cart which was dying as well. I actually walked during the uphill portions of many holes, in order to continue the round. The course had an outing, which I kinda understand some of the cart issues. I still enjoy playing the course and will come back. It is still is a good place to play when the course is in good shape. The friendly staff helps make that decision.

This was never really a great golf course. Reclaimed swamp with very rocky soil. However, previous ownership/management always made an effort to keep it in good shape and make the experience worth coming back. Those days are over. Very minimal maintenance is being done. Grass is getting cut and that's about it. Clubhouse/grill amenities have been virtually eliminated. Management staff is beyond clueless. To me, it seems like a golf course being run by people that hate golfers. Seems like they are going out of their way to make you never want to come back. Our cart died on 14. Nursed it to 15. I called and called and called the clubhouse for a replacement. No answer. After walking and carrying our bags for the last 3 holes, I walk in the clubhouse and that pinhead is sitting at the desk talking on the phone. I tell him I've been calling for 40 minutes with no answer. He says he's been there the whole time. I immediately dial the number and the phone rings. This bologna faced jerk flat out lied to me and didn't give a crap about it. Like I said, this is a golf course being run by people that hate golfers. I've been playing there for 25 years. I will not be back while the current ownership/management team is in place.
