They still use waste bunkers which I like I don't agree with course slope considering how fast the greens are. Also, the practice putting green is standard, but the range sucks.

On one of table, an ice chest and water cooler with cups provide the much needed water for Florida golfers. The driving range, practice green and practice bunker were available prior to your drive to the number 1 Tee Box. The overall golf course conditions were good and the greens were fairly quick and undulating. I love the layout. Most green approaches are wide open with wide fairway and well placed bunkers. This is a fun course and player friendly. In fact, extremely women friendly with open access to greens, not many bunkers to carry. This makes it a fun and stress free golf course. We have three threesomes in early morning. We were able to finish in 3 hours and 10 minutes for 18 holes! Staff behind counter is friendly. Bag guy and starter all are very nice. Even maintenance people when saw us coming got out of way with big smiles. There is no dining facility, so you need to plan to a local restaurant for lunch or dinner. This is an excellent public course. Will definitely play again in this course!

The attendants had my bag loaded on a cart and I checked in with the starter to let him know I was going to the range real quick. He said I was paired up with some members. Ok cool. I got to the range and there was no ball machine! Apparently you grab the balls just outside of the pro shop. Dang. They should've told me that. I told them I was a newbie there. Luckily, there was a half used bucket from another person, left behind. I used about 8-9 of their bucket and went back to the club. I showed them my receipt and told them to donate the bucket to another person. They instead said just take them to the chipping area, so I did. I chipped a couple and left the bucket there. I putted a few times to get the feel of the greens and then I headed to the women's locker room to check it out. It was nice, spacious, clean. Love their little birdie board celebrating their wins! I was paired up with members alright- new members; a family of 3. It was a lady and her son, and her husband. They said they were not very good and just started up playing. I mean what do you say to that? So I was stuck with them. There was a group of 4 ahead of us and another group behind us so I said, as long as the group behind us isn't hitting balls into us, meaning we keep pace, it should be fine. The starter asked if I wanted to share a cart with the lady, I politely said no. I didn't wanna be driving all over the course for both of our balls (this was a good decision). So we headed out. The family was super nice and thankfully they were teaching their kid the right way- not letting him start and finish holes. Yeah he got a hit off the tee but then he got to drop where his mom was. Most of his balls were picked up along the way. He chipped and putted mostly. The guys in front is us were so slow that it honestly didn't matter that the kid was learning alongside us. The course itself was very nice. The front nine treated me better than the back nine, but maybe that's because we hit the FOUR HOUR mark and still had three holes to go. Sheesh. We were waiting on that foursome almost every single hole on the back nine. They had no business hitting from the blue tees. They need to move UP. The course had a few bathrooms and water/ice stations along the way. Mulligans, their cute little outdoor shack with plenty of seating, looked awesome. You get there at the turn. They had all sorts of snacks and drinks. We stopped real quick to use the restroom there and fuel up. As I said, course was well maintained. No issues at all. I played well. The guys at the shop were super nice, letting me know they're punching out next week and there's a tournament Saturday, so I can plan my week of golf appropriately. They thanked me so many times for coming to play there. Super nice. They mentioned twilight tee times will start soon. The time for that will be after 4:30 and heavily discounted prices. Right on. I don't know what memberships cost or what they include. Carts are middle of the way. It's not quite GPS but the screens tell you how far to the middle of the green, and distances from the tees for important things on each hole such as bunkers. There are some areas with shade along the course, but not much. Water is present on many holes. Trash cans and ball washers are abundant. I would definitely play here again. They're going to start renovating the back nine next year, to make the fairways more undulating like the front 9. It's gonna be real nice!

Must say, the course is absolutely pristine. We had a hard time finding a weed. Yet, two downfalls. The signature hole, is no longer 'beautiful'. The pond is 3/4 dried up, despite the recent downpours in the area. It looks deplorable. Further, upon checking in at the pro shop, we were charged a mandatory $5/tip PP, even after tipping the bag boys unloading/loading our clubs on the cart. This should have been made aware to us prior to check-in. Despite the course condition, and a nice time golfing with a resident couple, we most likely won't ever go back due to location.

Obviously, the less people you're splitting the bay between, the more time you'll spend hitting. We paid for 2 hours ($50/hour, $100 total, $25/person) and were able to take practice shots for about 30-45 minutes and then play 4 holes. The service is great! Our bartender brought food/drinks directly to our bay and put college basketball on the TVs behind our bay upon request, and was very friendly. The beer was cold and the wings were delicious. I recommend everyone checks The Cave out at least once. Especially fellow locals that typically hibernate from golf during the winter because of tee time cost/availability. Gonna be great in the summer too when you need a break from the summer heat. My only 2 recommendations for ownership, both very minor; first, upgrade the sound system. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a couple speakers on either end of the building or bar, but music coming from the TV speakers wasn't ideal. Second, toss your wings in sauce instead of serving sauce on the side.

Gateway is a private, member owned Country Club. This course undergone major renovation about 4 years ago. New greens and fairways with some redesign make this not an easy course. It is more difficult than the indicated course index of 124 at the 6253 yards 'White' Tee. The original design was by Tom Fazio and in 2013 improved by Ron Garl with a major improvement in 'Golf Improvement Center.' Two practices holes; a par 3 and par 4 with many practice area make this facility unique and enjoyable. The number 1 handicap hole #3 is a Par 4 356 yards (White Tee) dogleg right around a lake on the right. It is guarded by four big pot bunkers on the left and another bunker on the left with the green falling off the front. This hole always plays longer than the yardage indicated. The greens and fairways are well maintained. After the game, we went to the club house, The Griffin Bar & Grille. It featured high dome interior with ice cold drinks and a buffet lunch was an exceptional value. We love to go to Gateway and play.
