Decent Enough 3.5 stars
It has been a number of years since I visited GCI. I'm well into double digits as to my number of plays at this venue. It's in decent shape except all of the sand traps need a refurb. Greens were hard as rock and speedy. No ball marks to speak of because even well struck shots didn't make much of a dent. The green pads have lost some of their size - some to the point where the pads are getting rather small for some pin positions. Fairways rock hard, very tight lies and still need to grow and get cut a few times. Rough is lush in a # of areas but is hit and miss. A number of areas where they've filled in sand traps and attempting to grass them over. The ones they filled in definitely make the course more playable. 12th hole left fairway by the pond is a complete mess of mud, puddles and dirt. All of the help was very nice and desire that you have a good experience. It's a links type course.....no trees to fend with usually plays windy and long. Bring the sunscreen and hot days there's no shade at all - or try to play on a cloudy day if you can. Good clubhouse, good beverage selections with food and a driving range to warm up. There was a course nurse after being told there wasn't one. The practice green is worthless...way too sloped and basically promotes leaving all of your putts short on the first few holes. Play a tee box up.....even at 6200 yard tees there are several holes you won't reach in regulation. Course does have pace of play issues when crowded....and gets even worse as the day progresses - especially when it's hot and sunny. Dick (Ted) Nugent wango tango design that's entertaining to visit at least once a season. Recommend the course.....solid 3.5 star experience. Paid 52....it's a 40-45 course.
Good place to golf
We lost balls in the high rough gas or someone kept taking our balls because we normally don't lose balls unless they are out of bounds.
Not too bad
Had a great time. Course was in great condition with the exception of the traps that were like concrete in most areas. Otherwise not too shabby.
Very open , no shade but corse was great!
As long as it is not too humid or hot outside this is a great coarse to play on because there is no shade on this very nice open coarse. Had a great time coarse was in very good shape.
Not Thrilled
Played GCI today. While there was quite a bit of rain last night, the bunkers were terrible. It didn’t look like they had been worked in days. While it was 90+ and humid, there was no water on the course, nor was there a drink cart. At least half of the ball washers were also missing. Didn’t seem like there was much effort by management.
The pace was too slow. The layout was not a good setup for us…it’s kind of dangerous if you don’t hit the fairway. There are many hills which don’t allow you to see what’s coming at you if you hit it left or right. The fairways were very “messy”…too many other courses in better shape for less money. We won’t be back.
Was hot, water on the course would have been nice.
Great local links style course
The course plays pretty much as it looks, but typically with the links style setup, the wind plays a much bigger part at GCI. For the first 14 holes it was pretty calm which made for a pleasant day. The course was busy, a drink cart was supposed to be going (but never was seen) and with the compact layout you might come across other players, but it worked out great. Pretty standard pricing for 18 holes in the area. It was a good time.
Great Round
This was the first time I had played the course and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was in great condition even after having had a lot of rain recently. The greens were quick but not super fast. The condition of the tees and fairways was super. I will definitely come back to play the course again.
Good
Course is fun. Greens are small but well maintained. Good variety of holes.
Golfer
What a fun course to play !!! Definitely worth the drive if you are not local
