Great greens

I was pleasantly surprised by the superior quality of the greens at this decidedly public course. They rolled quite true! Shockingly, the bunkers are top tier and well-tended!

Winter golf

Greens and fairways had been watered overnight, and although there was almost no standing water, the fairways had little bounce and the greens were extremely slow. So, it was like playing the course with an additional 1000 yards added to it. Conditions for winter golf were expected.

Terrible all around. Course not taken care of. Greens and fairways have zero drainage, so tons of huge puddles of water all over the place even 2 days after rain. There were so many drains that you could hit the ball in the middle of the fairway and it would get sucked up into a 10', 6" deep puddle...where you couldn't see or find the ball. All the cart paths broken up and full of water. Marshall who had no idea what was going on. Poor signage. I could go on.

Challenging course, bring extra balls

As a beginner to intermediate golfer, this course was very challenging. Some shots that are a few inches out of the fairway were hard to find. The rough is a little too high for my likeness. It’s majority par 4’s that require a controlled fade or draw off the tee box. I would play it again because of the price.

Could be so much better

The rough is insane. Cut the grass. If you roll off the fairway, good luck finding your ball. If you find the ball, good luck being able to hit it farther than 10 feet. The rough just swallows the ball. This course shouldnt play like Pinehurst. Also, not sure if they have marshalls, but there were plenty of groups taking their sweet time with zero consideration for the rest of the course. Hitting mulligans, laughing and joking, having a good ol time while folks were waiting to tee off behind them or for them to clear the green. There’s no reason a 9am tee time on a Friday in Atlanta should take 4.5+ hrs…

Gave it another try

After bypassing this course for a few years due to terrible conditions, we returned to find it in fairly good shape. At least this round I could actually put a tee in the ground on a tee box and didn't have to putt through brown spots. Overall I am pleased and will return.

Rough is ridiculous

The course would be really good and fun to play if they just managed the rough. It’s ridiculous. You’re a foot off the fairway after a good drive and you could lose the ball — can’t see it unless you’re standing over it. If you find it, you’re lucky if you can get a club on it to advance it 75 yards. Cut the darn rough, which would make this course much more fun and faster to play. Just cut it and boost your ratings, please!!

Great value!

Course was in great shape! Greens in good conditions. Rough was too high and killed the pace of play looking for balls.

Challenging, excellent course cut thru the woods

Part of a public park with lots of tennis courts, this course has a fine driving range, good carts, and nice bar. Grass was good, and driving accuracy at a premium due to fairly narrow tees shot demanded. Bermuda greens were a bit soft and slow, but certainly acceptable.

Great course needs to cut the rough

The course is in great shape (greens, sand traps, tees), but they need to cut the 3"+ rough down a bit. It would help the pace of play since it cost us at least 30 minutes in the round just looking for balls that ventured into the second cut because you can't see the ball unless you're almost standing over it . Hit 'em all in the fairway and you'll be fine!

Rough is rough

Overall for a municipal course it’s a good value. The rough is very thick. Really hard to find balls.

This is a wonderful course. The fairways and greens are in great shape. The rough with the thick grass can be challenging.
