9 hole Gem

Tee to green was maintained very well. Multiple tee boxes make it a different course on the back 9. The tips played just over 6400 for a nice round

Awesome 9 hole course

This is a fantastic place to play 9 or 18. Multiple tees for front and back nine. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers in great condition. Greens rolled excellent!!. Blue tees can play almost 6500 yards, This was a great find on my travels.

NO CELLPHONE CHARGERS ON CARTS.

if I’m gonna spend four hours at a course, that’s one of the bare minimum requirements. Cell phone chargers must work. I have a lot going on in my life and my cell phone dying while I’m out here is not something I want to be concerned about.

The chargers that are on the carts used to work, but they do not.

Great course for the value

Overall great course. Smaller driving range for practice as it only had spots for 6 or so golfers. I was able to hit a few practice balls even getting the last open space. The course was nice. A little confusing the second 9 as it’s the same hole but with different tee boxes. The only choke point was the turn when you had people coming from 9 to 10 and then those waiting to tee off on 1 as well. Overall though nice little course for the money.

Pace of play

Front nine was great, on the turn there was a golfer walking hit two balls off the tee and another rider behind him with his friend hitting two ball off the tee an I’m behind them, No Marshalls to regulate pace of play. I average 2 to 3 hour rounds on a bad day. My tee time was 12:30pm , I finished at 5:45pm! No golf etiquette on the course the day I played back nine.

Friendly staff, great value, good condition

Gillespie Park is a top municipal course in Greensboro.

The staff is always helpful, friendly, and professional.

Value for walking 18 holes at the senior rate of $10 is outstanding.

Condition from tee to green is good. Greens roll true at medium speed. Kudos to the maintenance crew, who continue to make improvements to the course.

I played by myself in less than 4 hours, a great pace.

Put Gillespie Park on your list as a nice public course that offers challenge, scenery, good playing conditions, great staff, and excellent value.

Good condition, friendly staff, scenic, great value

Gillespie Park delivered a wonderful golfing experience yesterday.

Staff is always friendly, helpful, and professional. Bob and Billy are great.

Course conditions are good, with tees and fairways improving. Greens are a little spotty, realizing grass still has to grow in.

Was joined by a single player on front nine, another on the back. Both were friendly.

Played well on both nines, with par on # 8 and birdie on #17 (plays from a different set of tees on each nine).

Gillespie is a great 9 hole course and an asset for the City of Greensboro.

I highly recommend Gillespie Park.

Good condition, friendly staff, scenic, great value

Gillespie Golf Course was a pleasure to walk yesterday.

Great value at $10 for 18 holes walking.

Bill, Billy, and Bob are helpful, friendly, and professional staff.

It was a windy, cooler day, affecting certain shots, including putts.

The Gillespie maintenance crew has done an excellent job with new tee box signage, nice turf for tees and fairways, and working on greens.

Putts were on the slow side. Greens have subtle undulations, causing short shots to run off.

I enjoyed my round at Gillespie. This course provides challenge, good conditions, and excellent value.

I highly recommend Gillespie as a nice public course that Greensboro can be proud of.

Unacceptable

I used to really enjoy going to play this course. It’s very close to my house and has great prices. Today I went at the beginning of twilight. While I was about to tee off the first tee(just waited for the fairway to clear) a foursome passes by me to tee off from the red tees. I was clearly there first and playing solo, obviously I would’ve gone faster than this group. The staff saw this all happen. The staff said nothing to the group or me. I promptly left and will never be back. This also isn’t the first time this has happened. It’s called common courtesy people. I will gladly pay more to play other courses from now on.

Best Value in GSO

They’re really putting in a lot of effort to make this course as good as it can be. The fairways are in good shape, and the greens are rehabbing nicely. I just wish other golfers would fix their divots and ball marks, it’ll keep getting better. And for a $9 twilight walking greens fee; you can’t beat this course fir value. Challenging as always and very fun.

Fun Course/Great Value

The course is in okay condition, unfortunately many who play here don’t fix their divots nor their ball marks. This shows on many of the trees where there is heavy damage causing them not to roll true. I can’t fault the grounds crew on this because it’s us players who are responsible. I do like to layout, it makes for a fun day. Just watch out for the creek on 9/18; it has eaten a few of my errant shots. They have a great driving range, the grill is basic, but nice, and all of the staff here are friendly and helpful.

I really enjoy this course, for the cost, it’s a great way to spend a few hours outside. I just wish more of the players would take care of the course; it’s a great location and we’re just as responsible to take care of it.

Great Staff, Great Value.

The rates to play this course are great.
I enjoyed the first 9 holes. Simple layout with some challenging greens and pin positions.
The staff was extremely friendly and provided a great addition to my golfing experience.
The second 9 are the same fairways/greens, just different tee boxes and pars. The second set of tees were, in my opinion, poorly positioned as the majority of tee shots are just blocked out by trees.
I would play again.
