Reviews
don't, just don't!
Played this course for many years and it's been a long time since it was in real good shape but it was decent for the money. Now its just absolutely horrible! Don't waste your time and money. Greens are shot, there is no Bermuda left anywhere on the course, temporary greens on multiple holes that are just in the middle of poorly mowed grass. Just go play in your yard or your neighbors cattle pasture, time better spent!
Worst greens in America
Worst experience I’ve ever had at the elks club the staff was very unfriendly and rude to me and to everyone in my group and gave us all a lecture because I used golf now to book the tee time instead of calling because it “makes everything a mess” even though I called 3 times to try and reserve a tee time and they never answered. The greens look like they were beaten with bats and 3 holes had no greens at all just a hole in the middle of a field. I would never recommend this course to anyone
Meh
Cheap but you get what you pay for. Awful greens that were aerated and not properly filled. Temp greens on a few holes that were horrendous, just dirt. Lose your ball in wide open fairways and adjacent rough because the grass is so long in so many places. Very little actual bermuda left anywhere. People nice, newer quiet electric carts. The place is greening up, but a LOT of work is needed before I will go back, even at $15.99 hot deal.
All good!!!
The dude at the front desk was not exactly the most jovial cat. People skills clearly not his strong point. However, had no bearing on the round. Had a good time. Played terribly also not out of the norm.
Overall great time perfect weather had fun. What more can you ask for? I’ll go back several times this summer I’m sure.
Needs work
This course has alot of winter issues. A lot of construction going on. Wait a few months before visiting they are working on it but not in good shape right now.
Potentially can be great again
I've played here many times and have seen the ups the downs and just outright bad moments. That being said it's still a fun course and has the potential to be a great course again.
Calhoun Golf Deal
Fair value
Fun layout with some reachable par 4s.
Discount is mostly for condition of greens.
Our group always have fun. We’re weekend warriors and are appreciative of the opportunity to enjoy the facility.
We shall return.
Worth the trip
The staff here are super friendly and the atmosphere of the operation as a whole is easy-going. If you are near by, it is definitely worth the trip. It is about an hour away from my house, I will definitely be going again. The set up of the course is a little confusing, but not so hard that you cannot figure it out. The course is by no means fancy. If you're used to playing at the country club, you will be disappointed. If you are a casual player like myself (I play 2 to 3 times a month just for fun), then you will have a great time. For $20.00 its worth every penny.
Great course for your money
People seem to in the can pay $15-$20 for a round and are going to play at Augusta National. For $15 with cart for 18 holes this track is awesome! Don’t get me wrong…the fairways are rough, and the greens are pretty scruffy, but you aren’t playing here if you’re a scratch golfer. Just enjoy being out there and stop being a baby!
Poor Management
I have played this course over several decades and it has never been in such disarray. At one time it was one of the nicer courses in the North GA area, but sadly those days are long gone. There are no fairways any longer only crabgrass which is nearly impossible to play from. The greens are terrible, as well as the overall course condition. The management has run this once nice course into the ground!
Cut the grass!
Not a bad course normally for the price but today the fairway grass was like playing in 4” rough. I quit after the 12th hole cause it wasn’t worth it, and I didn’t even have to pay today. Could be a nice course if they would just put in a little effort
