great course in the GA mtns

Played Butternut for the first time. Beautiful, well-maintained course. Got on easily, played ok but it's a forgiving course. Only surprise was that there was no drinking water or ball washing available at any point.

Hilly!

Not a level fairway on the course. Hit it straight or you’re in trouble. Lots of fun. Course was in very good shape. The ranger was very friendly and offered tips on how to play certain holes.

Great value

The course was nice with beautiful views although the fairways were rough at times. The restaurant was a nice break after the front nine. We will definitely return!

Great course, bring a GPS or range finder.

First time but not my last. It's obviously early spring and greens were just aerated but otherwise course was in great shape. Don't even think about walking. Course is hilly yet fair. Played 18 with another single in just below 3 hours. I'll be back when it greens up but the burmida is really not bad to hit off of when yellow.

Yardage

The yardage markers were impossible to find, On a coarse this hilly it made it very tough.

Butternut

Live this course. It is beautiful, hilly with just enough water to make you place your shots well. Fairways are well groomed and greens are consistent, not too fast. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Only complaint is that there is usually no food as the grill is frequently closed.
