This course is a cow field

If you have other options, exercise them. This course is the minimum to be called a golf course. The fairways are mainly dirt. No pace of play. Filled with people that don't know how to play let alone play quickly. Main issue is the lack of pace of play and hard pan dirt.

Beautiful City Course.

I'm from Atlanta, and Atlanta has many nice public courses near the city. You can tell they're working on improvement. Love ❤️ Whittles. Close to home. Fantastic greens.

Challenging Narrow

Challenging course with narrow fairways on both sides at some points. Non forgiving on errant shots. Lots of slopes on fairways and greens.

Unique experience

This course is a par 70. That's 33 on the front and 37 on the back Definitely a little different in that regard!

Got paired with a veteran of the course and it was invaluable seeing how this was my debut round at this location.

Fun little track that put a premium on accuracy. Pace of play was absolutely awful though

Cheap.

It’s a decent course. I’m not a great golfer at all but the course is extremely short. Every par 4 is basically reachable if you have a solid driver game. I don’t think I hit an iron above a 9 all day not counting the par 3s par, Greens are very small. And aren’t in the best shape. But it was also 24 bucks so what all can you ask for. Nice to get reps in but wouldn’t play here regularly

First time playing here and enjoyed the course. A little dry in the fairways, but that worked to my benefit for distance with rollout. Greens were in great condition! Staff is super friendly and other golfers were very courteous. Pace of play was consistent with no waiting. We will definitely be back!!

Great course for the price!

Greens were well maintained, fairways and T boxes where as expected. Well maintained for the price and the pace of play was great. Could use some sand bunkers to add a bit f challenge, but will definitely play here again!
