Very bad for your money

As seasoned golfers we play all over including abroad.

Rules of golf include honesty, courtesy, consideration and sportsmanship. We experienced none. They should have disclosed that most of the greens are in terrible condition. A discounted fee should have been offered to golfers willing to play under those conditions. The speed of play and courtesy left a lot to be desired.

I’m left with no choice but torecommend other courses around for a better round with your friends.

Green problems.

The coarse is great except for some of the greens. Some of the greens (5-6) still have damage from 2 winters ago. I thought they would have fixed that by now but evidently not. .

Greens Stink

Beautiful course layout. Thought I was at Augusta National, until I got to the greens. Worst I ever saw. Couldn’t continue after the front nine, was so disappointed.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

TWO ISSUES: 1- THE GREENS ARE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION AND THE HOLE PLACEMENT DIDN'T HELP. MAYBE CUT THE HOLE WHERE THERE IS SOME DECENT GRASS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL LOCATIONS. 2- THE GREENS AND FRINGE AREA DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY HAD BEEN WATERED IN A LONG TIME MAKING FOR HUGE INCONSISTENCY IN PITCHES AND PUTTS.

Great Day of Golf

Absolutely beautiful golf course with a classic design. I love the layout, and I find the history of Bobby Jones’ championship there fascinating and inspiring. The fairways were perfect. The ancient trees are beautiful. Some of the greens are patching and need some work/healing. I look forward to returning.

Awesome for someone from the coastal plains

Being from coastal Georgia I had never played a course with more than 10 or so feet in elevation change so this was awesome for me. Greens were surprisingly quick and firm. Overall the course was in good shape. Not flawless but I have nothing to complain about. For the $50 or so it’s 100% worth playing!

Golf cart gps

The course was cart path only this day which is fine but their golf cart GPS was so awful that you couldn’t move an inch without the cart shutting off. We played most of our round driving in reverse. The staff didn’t help at all when we called the lady said she couldn’t help because the other people were not on site. Just a great course but they gotta fix that. Don’t play here if it just rained or if it’s cart path only.

Needs some work

Tees and greens need some serious attention, greens were torches and tee boxes had a good amount of sand, fairways were in great shape. Will still go back and play again.

Forrest hills

First time playing this course in a while, they have definitely been putting money back into the course which is always nice. Would have been nice to know that they had just aerated the greens. Turned into a beautiful day and had fun with friends.

Course with great legacy

We were welcomed by the friendly staff. The course has great legacy and it would be great if the course which had a great layout could be presented in better condition.

Not worth anything over $100

The price was $250 per person, the only possible reason had to be masters weekend because the putting surfaces were horrendous. Dead patches and green sand covered certain areas. Would not return
