Bartram Trail Golf Club
About
Bartram Trail Golf Club in Evans is situated just minutes from Augusta National. Despite the fame of its neighbor, Bartram Trail stands out for being Columbia County's only public golf course. It has a location next to Patriot's Park that provides forests of mature hardwoods and pine trees that were fully utilized in the design. The scenic and well preserved landscape of the golf course includes rolling hills, natural wetlands, and the meandering Euchee Creek. The dedication to preserving the beauty of the terrain earned the course certification as an Audubon International Wildlife Sanctuary. Although the hills, trees, and wetlands present some formidable challenges, Bartram Trail Golf Club was designed with playability in mind as well. There are some tricky holes but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Call before you go.
I had never golfed this course before and was really excited to. Booked my tee time and showed up 15 minutes early (as usual). Only to find out that there was a tournament going on and that I might be able to play in “an hour or so”. I was unable to wait for my opportunity to tee off so I just had to waste the money I spent on a round of golf. The staff did not care about this inconvenience and told me that their boss shouldn’t have made the time available and if i wanted a refund I would have to take it up with Golf Now. I’m not concerned about the money. I was just treated very disrespectfully and that is why I decided to leave a review.
A bit dry in be back 9
Great greens and speed. Challenging blind holes. Not too much water or sand traps. Definitely playing this course again....
Great course but could use improvement.
The course was not in bad shape for this time of year. They took out a lot of sand traps and replaced them with grass. So now you have big grass bunkers that give you a horrible lie or makes the ball go in crazy directions. It was very hot and there are very few holes with water available. You can order food from your cart but you have to pick it up at the clubhouse. Most places I have been if you can order from the cart they will deliver it to you.
RECOMMENDATION FOR ALL COURSES: If you know that my cart is not in the right place because of the GPS why can't you show me other carts on the display so I know when the course is clear to play.
Great shape
The course was in excellent condition. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The only negative: I was a single and came up on a threesome at the turn. They would not let me play through. There was no one in front of them. Found that inconsiderate on their part. Other than that I will come back and play again.
Overall Nice Day
Bartram Trail is a very user friendly course. Very wide driving areas with little trouble to avoid. The greens were receptive and smooth. Overall a very pleasant day.
Aerated Greens (Not Indicated), Atrociously Slow Play
I have played this course many times but this was likely my last. Before I booked, I made sure if didn't have an aerated alert and booked the tee time. To my disappointment the greens were aerated and they did not update their system. I would not have played here had I known. Additionally, I had to wait about 15 minutes on every tee box due to the seniors group they let shotgun off 3-4 times per week. I was -1 thru 11 holes and quit due to the slow play. It took 3 hours and 25 minutes for those 11 holes. I have pictures of how bad the greens were but the app is not allowing me to upload them for some reason.

Really nice layout with course being in top notch shape.
Love the course, but something needs to be done about slow play
I have played this course several times over the years and never had an issue with slow play like I did today. It was absolutely brutal. I understand that weekends are busy times for golf courses, but there was not courtesy from the group that was in front of us at all. I had to cut my round short because of it. It should not take almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. Other than slow play, the course is in amazing shape and the best greens I have seen in a long time, but something needs to be done about slow play. And maybe come up with a starter on the first tee to announce when groups tee off. The group I was supposed to tee off with went 10 minutes early(which was the slow play group) and I had no idea, so I had to join in with the group behind me, which was totally fine. Great course conditions, HORRIBLE pace of play.... with that being said, I will still be back. Don’t let my frustration with pace of play keep you from playing this great course!!
Lovely Course!
As always the course was in great condition, and the new golf cart which allow you to play music, amongst other things, were absolutely lovely. Looking forward to playing this course again soon!
Awesome!
Great course! Great pace! Greens are in really good condition! Can’t ask for anything else!
Great
I arrived early at the course. The new clubhouse is very nice. The staff was courteous in assisting with informing me that the course was full, and that I could warm up until he called my tee time. Once out on the course, the fairways were very well maintained. The greens were fast. As stated the course was full, and pace of play was a little slow. The course was not too challenging, and I like the variety of holes hitting over grass hazards and water. The fairways were fairly wide and cut nice length. Overall, I enjoyed my time on the course.
Greens not recovered from aeration.
According to locals, the greens were punch over a month ago but they still have hole and it does have a negative impact on putting. Enjoyed the group I was paired with. Otherwise the course is in good condition slightly above average.
Challenging fun course close to Augusta, GA.
Very nice course with a lot of elevation changes and well payed out holes. Recent aeration on greens but still rolled smooth and fast. Course was in great shape and staff was friendly.
