Beautifully maintained like Augusta

Found the fairways and greens in amazing condition during dry season, with plenty of water on everything to keep them green! Don't forget the bug spray though this time of year. Price nudged up a bit, but still great deal for $45

Challenging but enjoyable.

Course was in great shape for early spring. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to camping here next year for a longer stay so I can play more golf here. The greens fee with a cart for senior is great!

Scenic, well designed course

Small elevated greens are challenging to hit. It would help to have a few more yardage markers in the fairway. Overall a fair course and enjoyable to play.

Nice Course

Course as good for a sunny day in February.
Have played there several times before. Three of our foursome were seniors and we were disappointed you cant get your normal senior discount when booking tee times online. We will not make that mistake again.
Not only do you not get the discount you have to pay a "Convenience" fee?? Not very convenient if you ask me.

Basic State Park Course

I have played three other Georgia State Park Courses, and even though this was touted as a "Resort" course, the facilities and course were basically the same as others in the park system, and in some cases, inferior. I arrived early for my tee time to get ready, and hits some balls on the range. I was told that they didn't have any range balls. I gathered up a few balls that were lying behind the cart path at the range just to warm up a bit. Joined up with a couple, who were very nice, but a bit slow. The course conditions were average, and greens were bumpy. It was a decent layout with some funky holes. Probably my least favorite of the four State Park Courses I have played so far. The other three are Arrowhead Pointe, Highland Walk, and Hard Labor Creek.

Great course, great value

This was a great course. Winter has taken a toll on the course but they are doing a great job during the winter months. We took advantage of the reduced rates at certain times of the day. Have wanted to play this course for a long time and I finally got a chance. The course did not disappoint

Poorly maintained

Leaves all over the fairways and on the greens could not even see your ball. I feel they could have done a little better with removing the leaves
