Beautiful course

This is a beautiful course and quiet frankly isn't talked about enough in the Brunswick/SSI area. The course is always in great shape and the staff is always accommodating. I play here every chance I get and have a buddy coming from over 3 hours away just to play here today.

A great course

If you’re in the area, it’s a must play. Generous width off the tee and sporty greens. The course condition was excellent. The clubhouse and bar were very nice. I’d play it again.

Great course and will be back.

Only suggestion is for pin placement identification.

The on cart gps is to the middle of the green.

All flags are white - no front back middle designation.

Too many positives to list. Great layout. Great condition fantastic and friendly staff. Wonderful experience.

Hidden Gem

Although, it's about 30 minutes north of Jacksonville its well worth the drive. Amazing course, beautiful scenery, and a friendly staff makes for a great day. Also, they have outstanding food in the clubhouse.

Great course….greens are excellent and fairways look good….if you expect rollouts in fairways that’s something you won’t get….so it makes it play longer….but definitely one of the best around between there and Jacksonville

A must play.

If you're in the area and can only play one course you won't go wrong with this one.
