Worst experience ever
We played this course the week of the Masters. The rates were at least triple the regular cost because it was Master's week. That would have been easier to swallow had the course not been in such horrible condition! I should add pictures because it looks nothing like what it is on the website. We reached out to the GM of the course and he was awful!
We will never play this course again!!

Classic Course with fast greens
This Donald Ross course is way ahead of its time. It’s a true test of Golf and the greens at this time of year as dormant and lightning fast in a good way. They do a great job with a small budget and it’s a course you should play.

Great place!
My wife and I were paired with 2 good guys from Evans and we had a blast. We love this course and get there 3 or 4 times a year. Always in great shape, always friendly, always a good time.

Thoroughly enjoyable
I'm a bit of a history nut. Intrigued by the connection to Bobby Jones. I was in town for business, looking to sneak a quick round in. This course came recommended by a local and was worth it. Nice pace of play...greens were CHALLENGING. Nice folks on staff.

FOR OLD TIME SAKE
I’m from Augusta and have been playing this course 30+ years. The course was my high school’s home course. Still a favorite in the area. This trip was good. Course was in great condition due to recent cold snap thus lack of recent play. Played the whites and the course was set up rather short but can be set up very long. Staff was really accommodating to include top notch snack bar personnel. played on a Tuesday afternoon so pace of play was not an issue. The carts were clean and have usb ports for for charging your phone. Paid around $26 with cart included. Ordered and ate huge bacon cheeseburger with chips at $7.50. Drink was refillable for the day. Parking was ample. Pro shop seemed stocked with ample supplies and goodies. I will keep an eye out for another good deal and get back out soon.

Never play when it's 40 degress
Although is, and always has been, a great layout and historic, the course condition is marginal at best. I've seen this course at it's greatness. It certainly isn't great anymore?

Good layout but rough greens.
This was the first time I’ve played this Course in many years and while the clubhouse and amenities are great and the course layout is great, I really disliked the greens. They were not smooth by any means. I also disliked that they had 3 pin positions punched in the greens and just move the flag each day. This lift you sometimes having a cup between your ball and the actual cup the flag was in. Maybe they do things a little different in spring and summer.
