Unkept

The course was just okay. On the positive side... This. Is a fun course to play and fairways are in good shape. I played the tips and a couple of the tees had not been cut in weeks. On 18 tee ...black tee...the grass was 3-4 inches high. Some of the bunkers have grass growing in them and are very unkept . On 6 ... One of the signature holes... Was closed??? My buddy was playing blue tees and the island green near the clubhouse had no tee markers.. No blue tee markers??? The greens were sloooooow maybe a 6 or 7 on the stimph meter and some looked diseased with black algae and are extremely grainy. On some holes there is some sort of marsh grass or sawgrass. There is a lot of it and is in some silly places... Right beside greens, in the middle of fairways and just some crazy places. I played it for $ 25 and don't feel like it is worth any more than that. Sanctuary Cove is $27 and is much nicer all the way around

Good course

Course is very challenging and surrounds are beautiful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Fairways and greens are a little burned right know. This was expected since the average temp the week played was 94° and the heat index reaching 105° - 110°. Would love to play it again in the fall.. Good value for the course..

Not for the average Golfer

The staff is Great ! This is the most difficult course I have ever played. Pampas grass comes into play on every hole. Water on nearly every hole. Pampas grass runs about ten yards off fairway and fairways are pretty narrow.. You are even in the fairway or out of bounds. The fairways and greens are wonderful. The bunker sand could use some attention but not terrible. I give the value average because the green fee then added by the balls you will lose is average cost. Recovery is a part of golf just watch the tour players. This course factors that out with the hazards. Be prepared for higher scores than usual. Aim for the 150 markers, and leave the driver home, and you should be fine. A beautiful course with great surroundings.

What a waste of a good piece of land

The course was in poor condition and had the worst "good-shot/reward" ratio I've played in the area. Not to say that you could tell where to hit the ball in advance - the maps are outdated and visual clues from the tee box are almost non-existent, One of the many annoyances - 420 yard par 5's preceded by 510 yard par 4's. The greens were in terrible condition... but I did get my first birdie of the year and played well. Even that did not improve my opinion of this course.

Nice coastal GA course!

Nice course with several beautiful holes on the Brunswick coastal marshes. A very challenging course in good condition. On this day the greens were slow and grainy. One downside was the overabundance of pampas grass on every hole which are a magnet for golf balls

Greens??

These are the worst greens i have ever seen on a golf course. There are several that have large patches with zero grass, just dirt. It's kind of funny watching the ball bounce around on them like a plinko game though. There are several courses in the area for half the price that are far better.

Bring an extra box of balls

In 20 years, this was the trickiest course I've ever played. There are a lot of blind shots and far too much pampas grass to deal with. We had a lot of wind, gusting to around 25-30 mph, which made things nearly unplayable, thanks to that pampas grass lining fairways and positioned tightly around a few greens (yes, lining the greens). I typically lose one or two balls in a round, but I went through a dozen by the time i stood on the 15th tee box. It's unfortunate that they do not mow all of the pampas grass down, which would make the course a lot more fun and playable.

The staff needs to learn some basic manners, as well.

Chris in the pro shop was so courteous and friendly. He is a great asset to the club. We definitely will return even though it is an hour drive.

this course offers challanges on every hole. Wire grass in addition to traps and water hazard makes for plenty of shot shaping.

The beauty of this course along with the difficulty you will encounter makes ti a very desireable challange. Be prepared for a slightly higher than usual score. I is worth ever dime.

Surprised

I Played this course approx seven years ago. Learned it had changed management. One of the nicest, most challenging courses I've played in quite some time. Plan to return again now that I've rediscovered this jewel.

Hate all of that Papas Grass!

It's everywhere. You can make what you think is a good shot and it's swallowed up by all of that grass. It lines the edges of almost every hole and it's placed in the middle of fairway on most of the holes. I won't be back. I'll just throw some golf ball away and save the greens fees.

Wonderfull course along marsh lands

The course has a perfect layout: slightly undulating fairways with fair hazards - water, sawgrass, trees - all you need for an interesting round of golf. Combined with some spectacular outlooks and friendly folks at the clubhouse, an relaxing afternoon is guaranteed.
