Great local course

They have already started all of their off season maintenance so the course wasn’t in primo shape but it’s a lot of fun and a nice calm quite course to play during the week. I really enjoyed playing here.

The back nine is definitely more challenging with blind shots and dog legs but it was perfect for the shorter yardage course set up.

I loved it.

Windy weather
Walked

Wet course, no carts, playable.

The course got lots of rain and was soggy, no carts allowed, walking only. It is still playable, 1 to 2 days it will dry out and back to normal. Greens aerated and recovering.

Good shape, aeration recovery

The course is good, most leaves are cleared and there are some repair areas being seeded. Greens are good, but have been aerated and recovering.

Worth the Drive

Mint conditions, friendly staff, and a sub-four hour round all led to a great round at GMGC. The course isn’t overly long and the fairways are wide but there is enough variety in the holes to keep it interesting. Haven’t played here in a few years so it was nice to see they are maintaining it well. We will be back.

Good course, in need of attention

The course is good overall, but it is showing signs of being beat up. Lots of bare spots, fairways are like a washboard, lots of rocks and bare spots, greens are good. It probably gets a lot of play and no one seems fix divots.

The course is in good condition. The greens ,the tee boxes and the fairways are well manicured. The layout of the course is pretty especially the back nine. The hilliness of the course make it more challegelng but fun. Certainly worth the money.
