Beautiful round!

A very nice course, well maintained. The bunkers could use some sand, but were playable. Not busy on a Wednesday. We had a great time.

No warm ups

Ball collector is down, again so the range is down. Other than that, you can’t beat it for the money.

Scenic, well designed course

The course is well laid out. The setting is beautiful & interesting. The clubhouse was nice & staff very friendly. I am disabled and drove the cart, while my husband played.

Great course, Bad Greens

Have played here many times. Always been a great layout, nice surroundings. Fairways are ok but the greens are the downfall. They need to spend some money and get the greens fixed.

Hi, Danny Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Georgia Veterans Memorial Golf Course at Lake Blackshear Resort & Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
