John A. White Bargain Golf

John A. White is a fantastic value 9 hole course. I've found the greens suffer a good bit in the summer, but have been quite good in the spring and fall.

Nice layout / poor conditions

This is a pretty nice nine hole golf course, however the condition of the greens are poor. I played the course today because it was rated 3.5 stars. I play golf all over the Atlanta area 2-3 times a week and I can tell you that this course should be rated no higher than a 1.5 stars. I understand that it’s winter time now, but course conditions still matter to golfers and should be rated accordingly.

Hallwa,

Needless to say, we had a rough winter. But here's what I can also tell you: we've plugged the greens on 8 & 9, removed some trees, have some new golf course equipment on the way AND a brand new cart fleet. 2018 looks very promising (if Mother Nature agrees of course) and we'd love if you were to come out and give us a try and see our progress.

Thanks for visiting!

Better then good enough

Don’t let it fool you as I was truly surprised as to the length of some of the holes. Hole 1 is a 500+yd par 5 with an elevated tee shot down, with the approach shot to an elevated green. It recently snowed so I wasn’t expecting perfect greens but there were a handful that rolled true. Hole 9 (last hole) was a proper par 4 at just under 400 yds, hitting into a severely elevated green. I’ll play this course during the summer to compare greens since a number of them were overgrown but have severe slopes and multiple tiers. Not bad if you have 2 hours to kill and want to play a casual round. Staff was helpful and friendly

Cr*p Greens

Fairways laid out nicely. Greens were downright pathetic; especially last 3.

Awful course

Staff was rude, the course conditions are to blame for this review. The greens weren't even grass. Several of them were more brown and bumpy than the fairways. Worse course I've played in my life

Beautiful old course

Enjoyed the layout. Greens not in very good shape. #8 and #9 greens 50% sand with no grass. Rough could use a trim. Fairways and tees were good. Pace of play slow to start due to first tee program playing a few holes. Marshall allowed uso play through them after two holes and pace was good after that. I'd love to play this cours again when the greens are repaired. I loved the classical layout and the mature trees added a nice challenge to go along with the elevated greens.

Course help with overall game

To be a 9-hole course It is challenging enough in that it helps with your overall game. From driver>woods>irons and wedges. Who don't want that!
