Strange lack of yardage markers

No yardage plaques on any of the par threes, no 150 yard markers, occasional 100 yard markers, no marked sprinkler heads. I hit the wrong club on multiple occasions because I was relying on a GPS app that wasn’t very accurate. You’ll be fine as long as you bring a good range finder. Otherwise, it’s a guessing game.

Good Value

I feel this course is a great value for what you pay. This is my go-to course. I'm a novice player, and this is a moderately challenging course that is not overwhelming with some par 3's that you can feel good about. The fairways are Ok to good, depending on the day. Hitting out of the rough can be challenging. Overall, this course is one that you can play and feel good about. If you are a golf snob, this course may not be for you b/c you will find something to complain about.

Course is ok

Staff was very friendly, cheap beers, cheap cost for playing compared to most. Was surprised to see greens air rated in July and covered with way too much sand. Honestly couldn’t put or get a true read on most greens. Should have had some upfront knowledge of that. It was good course to get out and swing sticks. Need to water tee boxes a little more so players can get a tee in the ground.

Stay away from this course

I booked a tee time directly through Apalachee Trophy Golf Club’s website for July 8th at 12:21 PM, clearly selecting and paying for 18 holes. I arrived 30 minutes early, only to be informed by an employee named Eric that the back 9 was closed and the tee time I booked was “only for the front 9.” He blamed a supposed issue with their website.

When I showed him that my confirmation clearly stated 18 holes, he began changing his explanation and claimed they had been trying to fix the pricing issue with the website provider, but the provider “refused to change it”—which makes no sense.

I asked to speak with the manager, who doubled down on Eric’s story and refused to honor the 18-hole booking. He also dismissed the concern and told me that the price I paid for 18 holes was “still a good price for 9 holes,” which is a ridiculous and unacceptable response.

This was a complete waste of time—not just for me but for my 3 friends who came out to play. The club should be held accountable for false advertising, and I plan to report this to the Better Business Bureau. I will not be returning, and I strongly suggest others avoid this course until they fix their booking system and start treating customers with honesty and respect.

Consistently awful

Booked a tee time online for 18 holes only to arrive at the course and have the back 9 closed. Not only this, but the range is closed as well. Figured why not just play the 18 (front 9 twice) since I made the drive out there, but no that wasn’t going to happen either. The staff said though we booked 18 we could only play holes and they overbooked the front 9. Consistently one of the worst experiences in golf time and time again at this place.

Golf course etiquette

Worst round ever here. To many people who think it’s a practice round and take two, three, four shots per stroke until they get the shot they want. The group in front drove backwards 20 yards to drop a ball and hit it again. Certainly groups have no etiquette on the golf course.

Decent Pace and layout

This place is out there, far from Atlanta. Even though the rate was good, the layout and distance traveled negate the value for me,

Convenient early tee time

Staff are friendly. Course was in mixed shape. Fairways and greens were decent, tee boxes a slight different story, The course has fairly narrow fairways to encourage a short game. I think the fees are a bit on the high side for the course, maybe $15-$20 too high, This might be what some call a backup course, With rain everyday for last week or so, course was soggy.
