Country Club of Gwinnett

I will keep it short and sweet. There has been a ton of work done at this course, and its pro shop, club house and food services. I played the course a few weeks ago and the fairways were not in very good shape. But yesterday? The fairways were lush, green, and very well maintained. This course is 5 out of 5 in my book. My only complaint is, I wish more of my golf group lived closer to this side of town; I think they would really enjoy themselves as much as I did. Well done CCoG

Course is improving each round I play here. Thanks for the improvements at the course .

The older guy who checked me wanted me to pay $80 despite me having confirmation of payment via GolfNow I had to call GolfNow. This is the 2nd time that has happened with the same staff member. I think they need to to train him on how Golfnow hot deals work as I have never had any issue withthe ither staff members at this course. That took the gloss off an otherwise great round of golf with a lot of improvements on the course being implemented.

The layout is nice and the greens are in fairly good shape. Other players beside myself think the price is a little too high at regular price.

T-Boxes were in very poor condition. Very disappointing that the grab and go grill was closed when we made the turn around noon.

Tee boxes are brutal, but the course is in decent shape for the money. Pace of play is slow, but it’s truly slow at every course in metro Atlanta.

Staff were great, course itself is very dry, I’m sure with some rain it would play much better

$80 is way too much to pay for a course where tee boxes are sand and greens have bare spots and poa Anna infestation.

Also the marshal spoke to us about slow play and said nothing to the members in front of us who were holding us up.

Was greeted in the ProShop by the attendant and he asked “what can I help you with Bossman?” Derogatory. I have never been anyones boss nor will I ever be someone’s boss. I find this demeaning.

The kid did not tell us that it was cartpath only. Course was very dry. Did not have to be cartpath only.

My playing partner today was JIm. Turns 80 in the next month. My golf cart did not work most of the front side. It kept stopping and needed to be restarted. Jim offered to haul me in, but I stayed with this cart. We swapped carts after he finished the ninth hole. When we swapped, I did not grab my beers from the previous cart. W

hen I realized this fact on the 14th hole was when the real fireworks started happening.

Called the Pro Shop to ask if they had my beers and the guy immediately said that they were thrown away. I patiently asked if they could at least check he told me no I was being rude. I explained to the kid that I spent $30 for the 3 beers and would like someone to check.

Then he hung up on me.

A few minutes later I saw the Marshal. Told him the story. He offered to check for the beers. Meantime, the GM came out and asked me about the cart problems. I told him about all of the issues. He somewhat apologized.

When the round was over I stopped by the pro shop to use the facilities before I left and the kid once again confronted me in the pro shop and said I was rude. I told him I would expect a lot better treatment from any establishment calling themselves a “Country Club”.

Absolutely zero drinking water on the golf course. It’s almost 90°.

Sad thing is, last year I played here twice after moving to the ATL and loved it. The latest visit will be my last.

Played at 10:45 on a Tuesday, course was backed up with no room to play through, waited on every tee box. Tee boxes were 70-90% sand on 7 out of 9 of the boxes. Greens were slow and had invasive grass growing. Left after the front so not sure what the back is like. Looks like it might have been more scenic but couldn’t handle the pace.

They added a lot of sod in hard pan areas and took out some trees the greens were nice

Thieve improvement s are what they needed I plan to come back a couple times a month

Fun course the back 9 redone last year is a nice upgrade, hopefully this drought doesn’t ruin all there hard work!!

Course definitely dry!!

This is a nice course. Enjoyed playing it. Fairways were ok- need rain like off of ATL area and greens good shape. The tee boxes however are in need of new grass as most of them were dirt or sand. Fix that and it's a fine course.

There hasn’t been much rain this month. Like 1/8” one day in the last 26. The fairways are torched and your ball is gonna run. They will come back with water (and they need a lot), but it seems like the fairways aren’t irrigated. Greens ran nicely, almost all of them look like they have had new irrigation installed. The ones with new irrigation have a ring around them where the sod was cut and irrigation pipe was installed. That should clear itself up in a couple weeks, but for now, it is like a tiny moat around each green.

Amazing layout for a course. Not a typical driver -> low iron into the greens. Some tee boxes require you to layup on par 4s. The front 9 is a lot easier than the back. The back 9 has a real tough stretch of holes from 12 on.

12th hole is a medium distance par 4 that requires a layup. If you've never been there, you'll realize this quickly when searching for your drive. Somewhat blind tee shot that with the dry fast fairways will end up in jail if you go too far. A good 7 iron to fairway and 7 iron to green is the play.

13th hole is bit longer distance par 4. Aim towards the right side of the fairway. It is on the side of a hill and everything feeds left. Driver and fairway wood will get you on in 2.

14th hole is about the same distance and right next to 13. It runs the opposite direction. 215+ near the right side of the fairway will dump you into 13 fairway and make a nearly impossible shot at the green. Middle left 210 yards is perfect.

15th hole is on the same hill, but same direction as 13. Getting on in 2 is tough from the normal tee boxes, but they have you teeing off in the fairway due to tee box repairs.

16th hole is a log jam; short par 3 over a marsh (probably water when not so dry). There is a long and winding path past the old tee boxes that leads to a green that is quite the hike down to from the cart path. The climb back up was intense.

17th is a par 4 that has a couple of strategically placed trees that make a fader of the ball give up on the green in 1. If you can draw it in, you've got a chance. don't miss the green right, you're in trouble there.

18th is the perfect finishing hole if you fade the ball. Keep it right in the fairway to avoid the pitfall of a deep bunker protecting a pin on the left side of the green. The green is way easier to access from the right than left. Aim at the bunker nearest the green and let it fade in.

Tee boxes: 5/10... Some were great, some were under construction, some were just dry and dead.

Fairways: 2/10... They are extremely dry and the ball runs forever on them. Great for gaining distance, but this course requires a little more surgical approach and you get in trouble long on a bunch of holes.

Greens: 7/10... Recently sanded and rolled, the ball rolls true and sticks decently. With the new irrigation around them you'll appreciate all the work they have done even if you have a baby moat of irrigation lines around them.

Clubhouse: 8/10... It's not big, but it is clean and everything looks new inside. Nice little bar area.

Range: 8/10... Pretty large footprint for a range with an automated ball dispenser.

Carts: 8/10... Normal carts, but with an upgraded GPS recently (maybe in the last year?). It makes it a lot easier to see the other carts on blind shots.

Staff: 9/10... The staff was extremely nice. They asked us questions about what we were looking for in a course and actually followed up with us once we were done with the round. One employee even offered to take my cart back for me after I had loaded up the truck to head home.

Overall good for the value, but the fairways are in dire need of water. If you're looking for a challenge in the dry conditions, this is the place for it. Once we get a bunch of rain and the fairways come back it'll be a great spot. I’m a 12 handicap and shot an 86 with an average round.
