Course was in fabulous shape! Not just for October, but for anytime. Greens were slick and true. Fairways are tight, lush, and green. The rough was punishing and deep.. a real motivation to keep it in the short stuff. Crazy mix of yardage on the Par 3's, running from 70 to 220yds. Good mix of risk reward holes. It was fun and I'm excited to play it again.

Way too expensive for what it is. Let's start with what is good; tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Fairways were terrible with weeds all in them and some bare spots as well. No driving range for warmup just some nets to hit into. It was a really hot day and no drink cart or water stations. Compared to all of the other courses in the area this should be about 1/3 of the price. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Nice course. Shorter and quite manageable. Cost is a little high for what you get, but not too bad. Greens are consistent. A smell around the back 9 by the bog area .. par 3. Whew. Besides that, it is a fun place to play.

Course was in excellent condition. Vincent was very accommodating to us as hotel guests. Came from out of town to stay at the Marriott and play this course and it was absolutely worth it. Would recommend to anyone coming through Lexington area

Great place to stay. Grounds. Golf. Staffβ¦..Until I met Taylor at the bistro bar. Service is key in the industry and this is not personal. Had a wonderful day until I met her. Truly appreciated the attitude and ignorance.

The course was in pretty good shape but the staff was less than helpful with accommodating my son and I while we were staying at the resort. They claimed to be booked all day on both days we tried to play but we watched as big gaps of time passed with no one teeing off. We hung around for a while in hopes of sliding on if a group no-showed and there were several opportunities to do so but the pro shop ignored it. Really frustrating considering the fact that we chose this resort for our five night stay in Lexington. They seem to cater to the members of the golf club over resort guests. Weβll be staying elsewhere the next time we come back to Lexington.

$118 per round. Look elsewhere. Better courses around the area for half that price. Number 4 closed as well so $118 for 17 short holes

Played this course the day before the day before my son's wedding. Couldn't have played a nicer course. The folks running it were very cordial.

I am not sure who set the new rates for this course, but they are about double what they should be in comparison to the better courses in Lex. Search elsewhere unless you are getting a great deal.

Griffin Gate is the best golf course in Lexington. This course offers a unique layout, great course conditions, plenty of membership options, and great staff.
Vince, Jeremy and Karen are all awesome and are such a pleasure to see and speak to.

I live where there are a lot of different styles and prestige, so with that being said the price was a little on the high side of what I would of paid at a similar course. Outside of that the course was very playable for any skill set. Then fairway are cut nicely and so were the teeboxes and greens. For a many bunkers there are younwould think that they were a little tougher to play out of. What I mean is they were so hard that any hit would do. Good or bad. The rough were also cut to allow you to play from it. Wish they had a few more beer selection. Bathrooms were also kept well clean. Great course will play again and recommend people to come check it out. Thanks for the great experience.

Great course! Wide fairways but lots of terrain and bunkers to make things challenging. Greens are mostly large and smooth. Lots of pitch marks but all had been repaired.

Love playing there as I live in Griffin gate next to the course. Went membership this year and since I work 5-6 days a week I couldn't justify the cost. Tee times now are to pricey. Almost 70$ with a cart. Last year it was 45$ with cart.

DO NOT BOOK ONLINE! These people have no idea what they are doing. Booked a tee time as a birthday gift for a friend, and received a confirmation saying they were booked. Upon arrival, my friend was told that payment was not received and he had to pay for his own game on his birthday! Called my credit card company and it was never even charged. But Griffin Gate confirmed the reservation anyway, but never notified me that it was not charged. When he arrived, they even tried to tell him they didn't have a tee time, until he showed them a copy of the confirmation which I sent him. When I called to try to get this resolved, I was put on hold and promptly disconnected. When I called back, I got excuses ranging from "we are changing our systems", "we are doing away with online booking", and "we don't notify if the payment wasn't charged", and even "this is a hotel, and hotel's are notorious for this kind of stuff"!!. It was embarrassing, and no one there could make it right. I will have to wait 2 days for the ASSistant Manager to call me back. NEVER AGAIN! Marriot, I thought you were better than this.

Course was a lot of fun. Pace or play was great, the layout was unique, tee boxes were flat and nice, greens were well-maintained. Took one star off because there was a lot of road noise, the bunkers werenβt maintained at all, no noodles in the cups during the pandemic, and they did not have the cut grass blown off of the fairway when we played (the entirety of each fairway was filled with grass clippings, something a nice course should take care of).

Course was in great shape however the person running the course was not. We were never informed that after 3 you could only stay on course til 7, when just days before we played til 7:45. The person running the club house only told us after the fact. When we asked for a rain check because we only got thru hole 10, he became very rude about it. I will not be playing this course in the future and will be sure to tell people to do the same.

Played golf there todayβ. It was busy. We had a foursome and were following a twosome and they were playing slow, but were still moving along. On the back, both our groups caught up to a group of Six players. We had to wait to tee off with the twosome playing in front of us. We called the pro-shop and they said they would take care of it. Two holes later we called again and the pro-shop said they asked the six players playing together to βkeep upβ. We will never play there again. Beautiful course, obviously terribly managed.
