Griffin Gate

Griffin Gate was a very good golf course for any level player. There are some very challenging holes and shot to be made. Difficulty is added for the first time player of this course, but it will let you play well enough for you to want to play this course again.

Good condition

In Lexington it's by far the best manicured public facility. Very right fairways and plenty of bunkers make it a tough course front and back.

I got rained out after 9 but they gave me a rain check. Nice!!

Nice but Strange

The golf course was very nice indeed and the staff great. Couple of strange things for a resort course. No senior tees. While the white are fairly short just found it strange in this day and age. Tow, no garbage cans in front side not water on back. About the golf course, the greens where quick and toooo true. By that we overread everything. but they where well taken care of big and lush. Course is well maintained and would play it this afternoon if i could. The normal rate is high when compared to other Country club in the area (70 bucks), Oyr foursome all like it a lot,

Good conditions but a long round for two players

This course was a longtime favorite of mine but I had not played here in some time due to rising costs. Took the opportunity to play at a reasonable price thru GolfNow.

Course was in great shape, but the pace of play was crushingly slow through most of the round. There was apparently an outing of some sort, and had we known that, we might have played elsewhere.

Great Course

Course in excellent conditions only exception the bunkers need a little more sand. The greens rolled true and we're great shape.

Greens were perfect

Course was in great shape. Greens were receptive fast and true. Bunkers could use a little more sand but that was the only flaw. Will play again for sure

Very solid track

Very much like the experience you'd expect from a country club without a driving range.

Great Course

Classic Resort Course
Excellent conditions, quick greens, and smooth cart paths that run along homes and condos. This was a very peaceful and relaxing round of golf.

Solid for price

Not overly long but challenging enough. Overpriced at regular rates but a great place to play for $25.

The Gate

This was an amazing golf course. I played there 3 years ago starting out, so I made a trip down to revisit the course. They made some changes to the course and it looks great. Green were like ice putting on them. Really nice course I cant wait to go play it again.

Best value

The course was in tournament shape and the greens were the best I have played this year. The tee boxes were suited to accommodate all skill levels, but if you choose gold you'd better bring it. The par 3's played at 167, 138, 248, 228. Best course I've played for the money in years.
