Good Value

Course was pretty rough in certain spots. There was a few times where the fairway was questionable and greens were pretty rough. Value wise it’s what you pay for. Staff is very friendly. Not much of a breeze and not many trees so it can get very hot. Would consider again at right price but not an everyday course

Other than the greens being aerated it was fun to golf. We will go back

Everyone was friendly and nice. The course was busy as most are this time of year, but it went well. We will definitely use it again.

Not Real Busy For A Monday

Nice pace of play with no one in front of us or behind pushing us.
Fairways were just ok and greens were terrible with weeds, very thin grass wise and substantial bare spots. Greens were heavily sanded in an attempt to even them out.
Impossible to put on, pick up & add 2 strokes.

Great for the Money - Gainesville needs more Golf Courses!!!!

I was thoroughly disappointed with the selection of golf courses in Gainesville Florida. For being a college and populated town in Florida you would think the options would be more than 2. I live in Tallahassee and the options are endless compared to Gainesville. Another victory for the Seminoles 😉 With that being said for the money you can't beat Ironwood. I paid 25 bucks to play 18 and the course was in pretty good condition for the fact of their being a huge storm the past week before. Greens could use a little work but can't complain much for 25 bucks. Also I noticed they packed the course. I played by myself and it took me almost 4 hours to finish. Gainesville needs more golf courses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horrible Conditions

Staff was very nice and good pace of play. Golf course condition is horrible. Most tee box are under repair, greens have none to little grass and fairways have more sand then grass. Really don’t see a renovation here. Needs to be redone really bad. This course is the worst condition course I have ever played. Very disappointed in the experience. Drove an hour to play this goat ranch and that’s being nice. I can see why they have many tee times and the price is cheap. You get what you pay for is the lesson learned here. I will never play this course ever again.
