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.

Not a beginners course.
As good as it gets. Private country clubs are not maintained this well.
Bartram Trail GC
Nice course, must play. All conditions good today except the greens have been recently verticut and sanded. Greens still putted OK and very quick down hill.
Hi "mcglynnjf" Thanks for the great review, we did do a light aerification recently which is unfortunately protocol for this time of year. We are glad you enjoyed yourself and hope to see you back on the course for your next visit to Georgia.
Signed up to play on my own
I like playing Bartram Trail & have done so several times. I like to play by myself or with a friend. However, this time I was told I had to go with a foursome, none of whom I knew nor had any of them ever met before & had also preferred to play alone, instead of being allowed to play by myself. Additionally, even though Golf Now included my golf cart in the price, I had to pay an extra fee because my wife came along just to ride & watch me play. I was disappointed as this is usually not a problem. We have done this a few times, and it has never been a problem.
Hi "danmoore13" thanks for your review. All morning tee times booked online or through the Golf Shop are always paired up with other guests. Unless the course is extremely slow we do not allow singles to go out by themselves as they would be stuck in between threesomes and foursomes’ making your round slower than it needs to be. We also do not allow singles to tee off alone due to our maintenance schedule in the morning. We try and give our maintenance staff the appropriate amount of time to cut the greens and fairway before golfers catch up to them. The golf cart is included for paying golfers, on this particular day there were 3 carts out versus the normal 2 carts per group which is why the additional fee was charged for your wife. We thank you for your review and hope that you are more understanding of golf course procedures going forward. Thanks MGT
Best Greens in Augusta
Bartram trail is a fun golf course in great condition and features the best greens in the CSRA. It is conveniently located in Columbia County and reasonably priced. The club house needs work. The practice facilities always have balls in the chipping and putting green and usually enough on the range to warm up. Would love to see new balls on the range, free range balls with a round, and more water and cleaning stations around the practice facilities. Also benches at the range are needed. Overall I love the course, it is in great condition and the greens are super fast and true.
Hi "RyanRoe" Thanks for the review, we appreciate your honesty. We are looking into your recommendations and will take them into consideration. We are thrilled that you enjoyed our course and fantastic greens. Please come back and see us again.
Best greens within 50 miles.
For this time of the year this is hands-down the best course to play. The fairways are lush and green and the putting service will keep you honest all day.
Hi "u000004726279" Thanks for the fantastic review! We work hard to show our course off. Thanks for noticing!
The Super Intendent
A golf course, the country club, food and beverage are great. Phenomenal to be honest. But all these amenities are only as good as the superintendent and his staff. Jeff Lloyd is a true pro. His signature hard work shows everywhere.
Hi "Eric9286320" Thanks so much for the Fantastic review, I will be sure to pass the message along to him. Thanks for playing.
Bartram Trail MGT
The course had excellent fairways
Very nice course. Some very good holes and in excellent condition.
Hi "u000001035850" Thank you for playing Bartram Trails we are so happy you enjoyed your round with us today. Please come back and visit us soon.
Best Golf in the Augusta Area forthe Money
This is a great course. Challenging holes and the main defense is the greens - you need to know how to read fast subtle breaks. I have enjoyed playing this course. The staff is the best in the area especially Matt. He is always looking out for the players and their needs. Ask for him when you go in.
Robbie and Zach are great too. Robbie the resident pro is a talented instructor and he can fix what ails ya.. Also cannot fail to mention the superintendent Jeff and his crew keep the course in top shape. It is the areas must play course.
Great Course
I love playing Bartram Trail whenever I am in Augusta, and this Father's Day weekend was no exception. The greens had been aerated recently and there are several old filled in bunkers that are like golf ball ski-jumps if you get stuck in one, hence the 3 on condition. Several of the holes slope quite a bit to the left or right and you want to play the high side on them.
Even though we were told it was busy, and didn't tee of for nearly 15 minutes after our time, pace of play for all 18 holes was right at 4 hours for the 4-some I was in, and we were all over 100 strokes.
Bartram Trail GC
Course is in great shape from tees to greens right now. Great golfnow deal. Very nice mix of holes. Greens fantastic and slick. I always enjoy playing this course.
Fast, Fast Greens!
Overall course - good shape- lightning fast greens
Good, fair challenge
After a three year hiatus from golf I decided to get back into the sport. This was my second full round and first at a "good" course. I was very pleased with the experience, and the course played as well as I did. There are alot of areas that are out of bounds but easily avoidable if you have a fair amount of skill. Can't wait to play here again.
Fun to play
Been several years since playing. Several bunkers have covered with grass which will help with pace of play. Greens and fairways in great shape.
Bartram trail
Always have a good time at Bartram, take my out of town friends there and it's always enjoyable. Thanks to the staff there, first class guys.

What a deal!!!
Let me start off by saying that if you are like me, golfing with friends and hitting from the blues and blacks and actually score decently then this course is great for you. Teeboxes consistently stay clean cut and well cared for. There are some tee boxes that have a lot of divots, but what par3 doesn't? Playing from the blacks on this course really rewards aggressive play, as long as your able to get the ball 275 yards or so off the tee. Greens are well kept and run true. Pace of play was a little sluggish at the beginning because we had 2 foursomes in front of us but once they teed off and get on the green we never waited on them again. Club staff is super friendly and the head pro Robby, is truly a genuine guy. Normal rates at Bartram aren't too bad, kind of what you would expect for a decent round of golf and man is it worth it. Occasionally you can catch a really great deal with the GolfNow app. If you're a chronic slicer like I was a year ago this is going to be one of the most challenging courses you've ever played.
Great Weather On A Great Course
The course continues to be in exceptional shape. A few of the tee boxes have little or no grass which takes away from an otherwise awesome golf course. Had a barbeque sandwich fron the snack bar which really really super good. Management needs to do something about the young man in the pro shop with the attitude named Matt. Each and everytime visiting the course it is a shame one has the deal with this person. He is rude and short in dealings with the public on a routine basis. If he doesn't like his job maybe he should work somewhere else instead of sharing his attitude with patrons.
Great well kept course
As always course in great shape. No problems at all with booking. As a twosome played 18 in a little over 3 hours.
Nice course but started an outing in front of us
Really enjoyed the course but grasses need hot days/warm nights to spring to life. Very fun layout!
Nor pleased with the fact that I paid top dollar to book the first tee time (on a Saturday with the time, supposedly for fast play, and that they started a shotgun outing on the back nine bringing a fast round to and screaching halt. Didn't find out an outing was going off the back until arriving at the course and had no other playing options. I only played nine holes but paid for 18. While the Assistant Pro gave me a rain check, it's not very helpful in that I live over a thousand miles away from this course. Bottom line, felt he should have given a partial cash refund due to their starting the outing in front of me.
Batram Trail GC
Course I play regulary. Layout could be tricky for first time player. Conditions very good today, tees, fairways growing in, chipping areas fully grassed, bunkers consistant, greens mini airated not affecting putting. Greens very fast can be difficult to control your speed, only a few three putts today due to trying to force the line on downhillers and they really ran out. Good thing if you get the proper line the putts roll out into the hole. Good course.
MUST PLAY COURSE!!!
First time playing Bartram Trail and I LOVED it! I am definitely going to playing there a lot more often. I would recommend this course to anyone. GREAT SAVINGS through the GOLF NOW APP!!!
