Amazing Golf Course

The professionalism that I received from the event coordinator Tammy Blanco was at an all time low. I was referred by a family friend to go look into this venue to possibly have my wedding and reception here, but I'm thankful this was a place to X off my list. For one, myself and Tammy had been in contact with each other about her showing me the venue for sometime now...Fast forward, we set a date; today Saturday March 17th @10am for us to sit down to discuss pricing and the showing of the venue. We showed up at 9:50am just for them to tell us that 'OH TAMMY STATED SHE TRIED SENDING YOU AN EMAIL LAST NIGHT(3/16/18) asking you if the time could be pushed up until 10:30am.' That was funny because the way I have my email account set up, I receive notifications to my phone EVERY TIME there's a new email. We sat until about 10:20am and decided to leave...But here's the distasteful part, even after we decided to leave she didn't even call back to apologize for the inconvenience she had caused.. That was the least she could have done. If you're considering this place, make sure you conduct business with someone other than Tammy because this was really SHADDY to say the least.

Situated in a good location but the course requires major improvements with overall facilities. Restroom was clearly abandoned and had rarely been maintained, no drinking water on the course, and most importantly their customer service line keeps bringing me back to the main menu and theres no way I could get through to any staff by phone. Fyi, neither their restaurant nor bar was open on both occasions I was there. Course layout is mediocre with only two or so holes with minor challenges.

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. Youll need to avoid the trees on the right side of the fairway off the tee if youre 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 water to a large green, well bunkered on the left. A very challenging and scenic opening hole that sets the stage for whats in store!Most of the members I spoke with favored Number 16, a short par 4 that plays slightly uphill to a well contoured green surrounded by bunkers. Most players will need to fly the ball onto the putting surface. The green features a lot of undulation and can be tricky depending on pin placement. One of the more interesting features of the course is the monster moss-draped oak tree that sits between #16 green and #17 tee. Some of the members told me the tree is over 200 years old and has been hit it least twice by lightning. Its massive branches stretch down into the ground, making for some incredible photo opportunities.Presentation is everything and the food at Gainesville Country Club is not only exceptional, it looks great when it arrives at the table. Little touches such as shaved Parmesan cheese on the French fries add a nice touch. The food is so outstanding, I saw a table of 18 women in the dining room and not one was eating a salad! Pretty impressive! The head waiter Phillip has been there for years and practically knows every patron by name. If youre unsure of what to order, hes a great help and will never steer you wrong.Gainesville Country Club is pulling out all the stops when it comes to attracting new members. The grand opening of the new clubhouse is set for May 17th and beginning that day for a limited time, GCC is offering a Summer Preview Experience that will let non-club members +see firsthand all that this private club has to offer on an a la carte basis with limited restrictions. The program will run from April 24th October 15th and prospective members will have access to all club social events, dining services, the pool facilities and tennis as well as complimentary Junior Golf and Tennis programs. This is a great opportunity for those who are thinking about joining a private club to experience Gainesville Country Club.
