Description

Gates Park is a spacious municipal layout with oaks, maples and two ponds shaping strategy. The course dates to the mid-20th century and remains a busy, player-friendly hub in Waterloo. Wide fairways and approachable green surrounds appeal to everyday golfers while longer tees add bite. Facilities include a driving range and practice greens. From the back tees it's a full-length par-72 with traditional Midwest shot values.

This is my favorite place to play. Close to work for me so there's a bit of bias. Staff is always good people. The pro is always easy to speak to.... a solid dude. The course is consistently in great shape, hats off to the superintendent! Play from the back tees for a really challenging 18 or play from the men's tees for a moderate challenge. I'm lucky to play this course on a regular basis.

Nice course, very clean and well maintained. I believe another review was for Gates Park, not the golf course (why would children be playing on a golf course?). The greens are always in good shape and roll very true. Lots of trees, but if you keep it in the fairway you can score well.The clubhouse is beautiful and the Mon.-Wed. A.M. specials are a great deal.

Great fun golf course that require some skill. Superb staff and facilities. Probably will go more often even though I don't live in Waterloo. Basically easy to find with your GPS.

Decent course. Fairways and greens are well-maintained. Lots of tricky pin placements. Layout can be a bit confusing. Standard carts w/ no electronic features. Played as a single on a 60 degree Tuesday afternoon in early November. Had a group ahead and behind all 18 holes which surprised me. Irv Warren appeared even busier(parking lot was near full)which is why I went to Gates. I will definitely be back in the spring and summer. Wouldn't really recommend this course for fall golf though, unless you're great at hitting fairways/first cut. Most anything I hit off the trimmed grass ended up lost under fallen leaves. Played Pheasant Ridge in CF the day before and only lost a couple in fallen leaves. 4/5 stars. Great course not perfect, wish the carts had GPS. Will be back next season.
