Played on August 15, 2025. The course is very tight for a non-T.V. golfer. The landscape is very pretty to the observing eyes but unfortunately the fairway trees are overgrown and the surrounding rough needs cutting. The sound of maintenance lawnmowers and personnel was unavailable. The temperature was a scorching 100 degrees. To prevent player heat strokes I suggest placing two ice water coolers at 4 hole intrivals. Also suggest hiring course Marshall's to maintain pace of play and course decorum. The greens are slower than a turtle and should be cut short and rolled. Come on Gainesville you can do better!!!

I agree with Bill and Darren. Worst course I've ever played, and I've played some backwoods, cow pasture courses in my day. It should be illegal to charge green fees to play this course. Adding pictures since the pictures I could find through google are nowhere near representative of the course today. There were so many weeds in the greens that we mostly picked up after the first putt.

Played there yesterday with some friends. I only gave it a two because of the course design. I could picture this place in its Heyday being an awesome challenging Course. Driving range was terrible no grass and dirty golf balls. On the course greens covered with weeds, bunkers filled with grass and hadn't been raked by the grounds crew probably for a month or more and oh by the way there are no rakes in or near the bunkers. Tee boxes were in horrible shape. Fairways looked like they hadn't been watered in a long while it was very dry so really no decent lies anywhere on the whole course no matter where you hit it. There are no water fountains on the course and the water fountains near the pool did not work so make sure you bring some. Again all I could think about the whole round was how awesome this place could be if the owners of this establishment and their management team had any idea what makes people want to play a golf course. I paid $45 to play a round here I think 20 would be more realistic based on conditions. If they cleaned the place up and made it look like a real golf course I'd be willing to pay alot more. P.S. apparently they lost their liquor license so you can't

Since its opening in 1963, the mission of Gainesville Country Club has always been the same: To offer its members a lifestyle that includes high quality recreational facilities, member services and social opportunities in an open, friendly and family-oriented environment. The golf course is a special part of the equation here at Gainesville Country Club. It was originally designed by architect George Cobb and opened in 1963. In 1992, Mark McCumber and Associates rebuilt the greens and brought them up to USGA standards. Playing anywhere between 5,163 and 6,866 yards, the course is well suited for anyone from beginner to touring professional. While there are many outstanding holes, my favorite is the first hole, a dogleg right, par 4, that plays 399 yards from the White Tees. Number one portrays the challenge of the course and brings several elements into play: elevation changes - which are prevalent here - water and sand. You’ll need to avoid the trees on the right side of the fairway off the tee if you’re going to get off to a good start. Favoring the left side gives you a good approach to the green which sits well below the fairway. Your approach shot is played downhill, over wa

Really beautiful community, an excellent golf course. I visited this place for an event, the staff were excellent and the venue was an excellent place to host events.
