Short but challenging

Any first-time play can be challenging because of unknowns. The greens are small, the elevation change can be significant on some holes, and blindspot‘s all contribute to the challenge of the course. The other reviews that I read talking about items needing repair our true as many of the cart path could use some serious work.

Beautiful scenery & surroundings

I like the course and appreciate that it wasn’t too long or too difficult. Liked the friendly staff and patrons. The drawbacks were the pace of play, poor drainage and inconsistent greens. But for what I paid, seemed completely reasonable. We did have tropical storm Eta come through recently.

Good value

If you are in the Augusta area and do not mind driving 30-45 minutes this course is hands down one of the best golfing experiences around. Good layout and has several picturesque holes that run along the lakeshore.

A fun and challenging course.

Course is in very good condition. Greens were a little slower than expected. This is a very scenic course and a joy to play. It's an 80 minute drive for me but I'll be back.

Fun golf course with great views.

This is a great place to play. The layout is challenging at times but fair. Wonderful views of the lake. The putting surfaces are in good shape but difficult to judge break and speed. Spend a little extra time on practice green beforehand. Very convenient location to Elijah Clark.

Highly Recommend

We travelled 1.5 hrs to play this course because we heard that it was a real good deal.

It was everything I had heard and more. The course is well kept and the natural beauty of the surrounding area was awesome.

We plan to play there again. I normally do feel a need to speak to the grounds keepers, but we found ourselves commending them for how well kept this State Park is.

The precautions taken due to COVID-19, made us feel good.
