Green is under Aeration

Great challenging layout but the Spring time aeration on the green frustrates the putting.

Might be worth the rate in the Summer

Greens were fun. Moving nicely but spent most of the time fixing ball marks.

Winter off season at Woodlands

Wow. Spectacular course, beautiful layout. Fairways are brown at this time of year, but greens were better than I expected.

I came down for a business trip from Canada, and played Woodlands in the morning, and Château in the afternoon. Both courses are different, but I really prefer Woodlands over the Château course. Short frost delay in the morning, but basically nobody on the course.

The double cheeseburger lunch at Sarazens restaurant was fantastic as well.

Great course

Great course as always and only thing keeping me from 5 star is the price during winter is a bit heavy. Need a tiered price structure. One for resort guests and one for locals. It would certainly help all those open tee time on a Saturday. Greens in great shape and staff as always very helpful. Young lady with the beverage cart was excellent. I will be back but hopefully with a lower price

Played chateau even though I booked woodlands

Love the layout and the greens. Solid pro shop and bar area. Pace of play was outrageous! No marshal on a Saturday. Called the pro shop twice and no one answered. Tee’d off at 12:30 and barely finished. 5 hour and 10 minute round is unacceptable. Barely saw the beer cart twice; hole 2 and 16. I expect more out of a “premium” course. I do love the course itself though. The starter was very friendly, but she haphazardly let’s us tee off 30 minutes early on a course we didn’t book - that can’t help the pace of play.

One if my favorite tracks

The course has always been one of the best public course layouts in GA. If we didn’t have a slow foursome in front of us it would have been even better.

Even better than usual

The course was in really good condition given it's late October. Found the perfect gap so I did not run into another group until hole 14 and finished the round in under three hours.
Great layout, reward/risk, some holes are easier to give you a breather after tough holes, beautiful.
the pro shop person was super nice.

Woodlands did a great job Golf Now failed

Showed up for our tee time with the email that said we had an 8:06 tee time. Course tells us we didn’t. That put us off on the Tradition 9 holes and we had to play that 9 twice since there was no other room on the tee sheet. Course accommodated us but GolfNow screwed up and left us hanging.
