Great course, great clubhouse

First time playing here and I was greeted at the starter stand while someone loaded my clubs on the cart for me. Range balls were free and its absolutely the best looking driving range ive ever seen. Really enjoyed playing the course, it was in great shape even though this was winter time. Stopped in the restaurant at the turn and had a delicious chicken sandwich with my girlfriend and some mimosa's. Overall a great experience and she loved it too even though she wasnt playing.

Headpro

Dear Govenors Towne Club,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent experiences I have had with the head golf professional at your course.

I have encountered Raymond Briggs on multiple occasions, and unfortunately, the service and professionalism displayed have been consistently below par. Issues including very unfriendly and disrespectful, treating members bad, and not showing any respect to other employees, which have negatively impacted my overall enjoyment of the golfing experience at your course.

I believe that addressing these concerns is crucial to maintaining the reputation of your esteemed golf course. I hope that you take my feedback seriously and consider implementing measures to improve the quality of service provided by the head golf professional.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to seeing positive changes in the future.

Sincerely, Colton English

Raymond Briggs

Raymond Briggs is one of the worst head professionals i have ever encountered in my life. He is very disrespectful with members and his employees, Im a cart boy, He forces me to take members bags and carry them even though the members would decline the offering, it made me feel very uncomfortable and disrespecting to the great members of the golf course. He needs to be fired and this place would much better without him.

Sincerely, Caleb

Great!

Pricier than other courses in the area but worth it and I played in the rain half the round. Only knock is more members need to fix ball marks on greens! But you could probably say that for every place.

A Gem of a Course

GTC is a wonderful golf course and facility. I've only had the opportunity to play the course two times, but it was in outstanding shape and a wonderful test of golf both times. Post-round drinks and a meal in the grill after each visit were equally on point, with the quality of the food and service being top-notch on both occasions.

Needless to say, as long as GTC will have me, I'll be back.

Private course at a bargain price in Tee off

Course is well maintained and staff was friendly. Played from the Tips (USGA 7 handy). I will say it was really challenging with many par fours over 440 yard. 260-270 drive with long iron into the elevated greens protected by bunkers and creeks in front of the green.

I would have given 5 rating if the staff was more accommodating. Wanted to play 9 more holes to avoid traffic coming back to Atlanta , but was told “NO. It is members only after 3 pm”.
