Worst course on the south side…

So as an avid golfer, and not being in Georgia for more than a decade because of military service, I was excited to see how this course has been maintained since I haven’t played it in so long. After arriving, the clubhouse is absolutely terrible. There were maybe 3 dozen balls available for purchase inside. No clubs. No clothes. Not even ball markers or poker chips. Oh. There was one umbrella that I could have bought. Instead of having professional looking signs to note that the 7th hole was under maintenance and closed, they had grabbed and taped together several pieces of paper and had what looked like their 5 year old write on it. I paid $70 on a Sunday morning, reasonable for a weekend. But once I hit the course, I wish I could have just gotten my money back. After it took me 5 minutes to get my tee into the ground because the tee boxes are so hard, I hit a perfect shot into a fairway that was apparently just as firm and my ball proceeded to take several huge bounces and found the water hazard that was more than 300 yards out. No problem. Drop, hit into the green, make it to the green to see that there at least 4 different types of grass growing. Including weeds popping up that change the trajectory of your putts constantly. If you’re looking for a quality course on the south side of Atlanta, this isn’t it. Go to Crystal Lake. Much better maintained and around the same price. Plus a gorgeous clubhouse and they offer beverage carts as well, which Spivey doesn’t. As a military member and golfer, I’ve played courses all over the world. This has to be one of the worst I’ve ever been on. Complete disappointment..

Good for beginners

Good course for beginners, wide fairways. The greens need some work.

Used to be nice

The course is in bad shape. Most courses in the area at the price they charge are 10x better. Beautiful area but the course has not kept up.

Play elsewhere if you want nice greens.

As noted from previous reviews... the greens are horrid. Course setup/layout is fun but as soon as you get on the green it's a joke. My buddy and I said once you get it on the green it's an automatic 2 putt. Course has potential - too bad.

Conditions worse than I've seen

I haven't played this year, but many times over the lastv4vyears. Front 9 greens are horrid. Not overexaggerrating. Weed infiltration, no grass, overall just bad, bad. Most of the greens on the back are better, public course medium. Around the greens is extremely inconsistent grass heights/weeds/water/etc.

This course layout is fun, should be great for betting/trash talking, but the 50yds in and green complexes are too crappy for a country course even at $51. Oh, practice "green" I've seen better goat grazing pens.
