Daylan Sears

Terrible course. Zero fairways anywhere. And terrible customer service.

$24 for 18 holes at 2pm on 8/15/2017. Course was actually in decent shape. The slow gas carts with a max speed was only thing to complain about. Pace of play was good and greens rolled. A little short, but tight. Not a good course for beginners. Bring a few balls if you are new. Proshop was a little dingy but the price to play fits.

Henry Mouzon

Much improved course and accommodation

Daniel

Great employees! Great prices! The greens are in great shape. The fairways are solid. Also, The course is very challenging but very rewarding

Drew McLean

Course is in terrible shape. Not worth 15 bucks. Fairways are very spotty to say the least. If you want to practice your bunker shots from the tee box, this is your course. No yardages anywhere and the yardages on the scorecard were far from right. They wonder why there are bees on all of the carts. Probably cuz they don't wash them off. Wouldn't come back.

Nathan Bigham

Great for startes at golf but they dont keep,the pace of play up. I went by myself and it took 3 hours and 15 minutes to play 9 paid for 18 and I approached the course about issue and wanted to simply rain check back,nine due to darkness and time to play and they were rude about,it. Not a good experience

louis monk

Affordable golfing and a good course

Hale Simmons

Great course, I love the walk on, no tee time, feel. Everyone here is chill and the staff know the regulars pretty well. The course needed a little work when I was there but it was the very beginning of the season.

If you are a scratch golfer, gunpowder may not be the course for you. If you are a mid to high handicapper, an infrequent player, or one who doesn't need the trappings of a high-end course, Gunpowder is for you! The course is reasonably challenging, rewarding precise shot placement over long drives, and the postage - stamp greens will test your putting skill. The staff is very nice, and will go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant golf experience. They offer a late day special of $12 (walking) after noon and a $10 twilight special. For the price, this course merits 5 stars!

Aaron Glover

Great crouse for the price.

Rodney Baitwa

Cheap and fun

Randy Catoe

Things I like about Gunpowder golf include the low price and that they don't reserve tee times. Others have cited the lack of yardage markers and clear signage which I concede. This year, the fairways and greens were in good condition, the woods free enough of underbrush to make it possible to find errant balls. The staff are helpful and don't herd you to stay on time on the course.

Shawn Bartley

Great place to learn and play

Carl Clayton

Beautiful scenery, well maintained, and challenging course. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Good food and cold drinks all add up for a wonderful day for a round of golf. Enjoy!!

Dianne Godar

Nice course

Brian Wesp

Good course and good prices

Scott Reichert

For 18 holes I haven't seen a better value. The course isn't in perfect condition but was better than I had expected. The holes were challenging and provided good variety. The staff was extremely friendly and appreciative of my business. I only have three issues with this course... 1) It was not always clear where I was supposed to go to get to the next tee after finishing a hole. 2) Driving the cart paths was like going off roading on an ATV a lot of the time. 3) There is construction going on next to the course that was a little noisy. All of these issues were minor in the sense that I enjoyed playing and there isn't a lot of opportunity to play 18 holes in the area on a nice course for a reasonable price. I will definitely play here again.

Ivell Hudson

Course was ok when the price was $5 twilight. It's now $10,$2 dollars off the regular price. I was told the price went up due to repairs on the course. I saw no improvement. On hole six you're hitting in the blind,hitting up a hill. I give this course a 1 rating. It must be under new management.

Bianca S

My husband had a great time here with his friends. It's run by some very nice people and it's a great place for golf lovers to relax and just enjoy your day.

Good Parking

Gary Hellman

I am a beginner - but it is really fun! they have all the stuff you need.

Mike Germain

I just enjoy this coarse

Michael Bauer

Challenging. It's a links style course. Very pleasant, though.

Peter Driscoll

Great course for solos and afternoon deals!

Tony Siciliano

I'm not an avid golfer, but this course is a hidden gem in my book. Great availability and challenging links. You definitely get your money's worth here.

Lionel Layton

Bring lofted wedges, rock hard greens, layup and watch balls roll off surface.

Harry Hughes

It was a nice course some areas needed repairs but all in all I would play there again

Kelvin McDonald

I think it's a great course for the price.

Matt H

Played here a few times. Decent course. I don't play a lot of golf, so I don't really have any comparisons.

Darren P. Hurley

Exceptional Customer Service, you are treated like a member from "tee to green", I fell in Love with it from the beginning, felt like I was in Scotland as the Mist rolled in today! Family-owned And operated, i had a great time and my Love of the game of golf was rekindled today at Gunpowder Golf, Many, many thanks to Linda and Family!!! Darren P. Hurley

Lance White

Surprised regarding upgrades since here about 2 years ago, greens were in great shape.

Tim Jurasevich

The course itself is just okay. It's a bit beat up, not super fancy, and pretty short. But the prices are very, very low so it's great value. If you're just starting out this is a great place to come because of the price. When you're hooking and slicing your way to double par on most holes you don't really benefit much from a perfectly manicured course. And if your ball does land somewhere rough, just move it - you're probably not coming to Gunpowder for serious competition. I've run into my fair share of nastiness on golf courses (huge rocks in bunkers) at much higher prices. Probably the worst thing about this course is getting stuck behind a group of four middle aged Korean ladies. If you come here a few times it will happen at some point. I've found it's best to just skip the hole they're on and get ahead of them so you can enjoy uninterrupted, wait-free golf. The greens fees are allegedly good all day but I've never bothered to play more than 18. But doing 27 for $19 sure is appealing.

Ira Thompson

I play this course with friends every week & of course for us seniors it's incredibly cheap. I've played many courses in the area & the holes here are more interesting than any other course in the area. The 16th, which we call the signature hole, is extremely challenging.

Keith Ferguson

Cheap. Decent course. Not too crowded on an average weekend.

Mark Bowley

Good time .

jeffrey caldwell

Outstanding family owned golf course and we'll worth the money.

Flavia Martinez

The course is usually in great shape however you will notice a lot of ball marks are not repaired on the greens. They allow you to schedule in advance in order to have a longer time on the course which I appreciate. The course is reasonably challenging for a long time golfer.

Mark Hachey

There are lots of options for golf in the area. Gunpowder is what it is. It's like back in the 50's someone found a piece of land, and said, "put a tee here. Put a green there. And cut down the trees in between."

I can't tell you whether you'd like it or not. If you're looking for a beautiful course, with a beautiful clubhouse, you're going to have to spend more than 20 bucks. I think it has to be walked to be best appreciated. It's interesting in that it really follows the contours of the land. I think it would be improved if they didn't have cart paths, or carts. I think that has almost like a "golf roots" feel to it. . .and not differentiating much between the rough and the fairway, or having good yardage markers is part of the charm. Very natural feeling. It has a several holes you'd call "par 3.5" and maybe one 4.5. There are lots of elevation changes and the small greens and contours really challenge you to think out your approach on some holes. The greens all have 2 holes in them (and sometimes a sprinkler) and you can just move the flag to the other hole when you're putting. The par 3's are distinctive, and challenging, with two (8 and 11) being cut right into the side of a hill. The 16th is a two-shot roller coaster that goes from an elevated tee to an plateau that falls off on 3 sides and then rolls down and back up to an elevated green with trouble all around. The course should be played just to see that hole. The condition of the fairways is the biggest problem. If they were in better shape, I'd love this course, but you're left with too many inconsistent lies.

Chris Bagley

Decent course with some very challenging holes and dirt cheap!

Rob O'Brien

Nice people n beautiful place

Sanghun Samuel Lee

Great twilight pricing. The course condition is poor, but if you fade the ball, you'll feel like DJ by the time you are done.

Great course excellent price, very friendly and helpful staff, if you don't play here you're missing out on the best deal in this area.

Eric Lorenz

I really enjoyed this course. It's very well taken care of. The fairways and greens are in great shape. The layout of the course is interesting, but in a good way. It is just challenging enough to be fun but not boring. It's a good waking course if you want an exercise but carts are also available. The rates are great too. The only gripe I'd have is that the whole course is fast. It's an older course that was built on an old rock quarry, so there you go. Due to this, a good shot can turn into a bad shot real quick and a bad shot can turn into a good shot. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this course and I am likely to return.

John MacArthur

I have been playing the course for over thirty years. When I first played there, I was smitten. It had the feel of yesterday. The front side, tree lined and picturesque, the back side more open and dead pan, rock laden. Yes, greens were watered with sprinkler heads that popped up in the center of the green. Yes, on the seventh hole and fifteenth hole, you could not see where your tee ball landed. Times change and in 2015 the course is in incredible shape. Haven't played there in a couple years? You will recognize the layout, but a complete irrigation system is now in place. Fairways are lush and the rough is the wrong place to leave a shot. The little pop up sprinkler heads green center are no more. Greens now roll and you can attempt to navigate the natural twists and turns unimpeded. There is a large cadre of golfers that have not teed it up and scoff at the yardage. They totally overlook the fact that the distance from point A to point B is not easily traversed. The course is up and down and around peaks and valleys. A creek runs through it. You certainly can go for the gusto off some tees, but should you be a bit wayward, a big number is waiting for you. Gunpowder is the best kept secret in the area. Golf here is affordable. The staff is helpful. That chap you meet on the first tee in a miss matched outfit with clubs older than yours, well keep you money in your pocket, he will dance around the course...hitting it to locations and reading greens that will be a mystery to you. They don't need 7,000 yards to beat you...they just putter along. Make one round here and rediscover the joy of a game of a lifetime.

Gus Galvez

Horrible experience...the old nasty white female( I think) in the pro shop had a terrible attitude.The way she was responding to my questions was the sign she had no clue about golf/ customer service. I bought 2 hot dogs and it looked rotten or spoiled. The hot dogs had a purplish brown tint to it with reddish lines. I wasn’t even offered a refund for the hot dogs. I should have eaten the hot dogs and got food poisoning and sued the course. I did not see a starter or a marshal out on the course so the play was extremely slow.. I would never recommend this course for even a beginner

Nice and clean. Well maintained. Quite challenging for first time here .

Zuleyma Rivera

This place is just simply amazing. I especially love how the golf course is well maintained. Went here with my family the previous weekend and we loved it. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon.

-Walk on only -Great prices -Good course conditions -Par 70 When I tell others that I've recently played here, they usually wince. I've played here twice in the last 6 months. From what I understand, the course used to be in far worse condition. Currently (oct-2016) it is not that bad. Greens are lush and healthy. No one fixes their ball marks which sucks but rarely do I ever see Marshall's inforcing it on any Golf course. Fairways are cut and in good shape. The course is not that hard. Alot of short holes but technical layouts make them fun. I'm an 11 handicap and shot a 77 (par 70). Par 3s are mostly elevated but under 140 yards. More then a few par 4s are under 300, just out of driving distance and a few would be drivable ones have a bend or hazard that make them less then desirable to attempt. 2 short par 5s make for feel good birdie or even eagle attempts. Prices are great. 9 am walking rate on a holiday ran me 19 bucks. Give it a go it's worth a visit. -Skyhook

Course is in great condition.

Amber Bernal

Loved this course, the natural setting picturesque. Tricky on some holes, a fair challenge. Had some problems with slow parties that mixed walkers and carts and appeared to be an unofficial party of 7. Definitely plan to try it again tho.
