Good for the price.

Difficult to play as it lies without damaging your clubs. Lots of bare sand and rocky patches around the fairways and greens, so I took it as ground under repair, even though it was not marked. Three of the cups were too deep so the pins would not sit straight. I fixed one, but could not pull the others up by hand.

Overall, it was fine for $20, but the $35 weekend price is way too much for the condition.

Bad Review?

I'm not sure why the other golfer gave a bad review to the course, and to the staff. I have played several rounds with a few friends, and have yet to have a bad experience. During my last round, my playing partner and I had to leave, due to an unforeseen circumstance, and the staff, were more than willing to give us a rain check, for the holes we did not play. I like playing the course, and will return to play again.

Old Griffin Country Club

It's an average course. Conditions of course were ok, some areas really good, some not so good. Tee boxes were pretty hard and the greens were fine. Got a deal for 20 on the weekend, would play again at that rate.

Sad

What used to be a nice course is now in real need of help. The greens were in good shape. The cart paths are very rough. There are a lot of bare patches on the fairways. Another example of a course not able to adapt to the times and changes in ownership so far.

Fun Course

Being in the hospitality industry, greetings and staff welcoming are a big thing for me, and this place is as friendly as they come. Checked in quite quickly, and two singles and I decided to play together, Had a single in front of us that should have invited at least one of us, if not all to play with him. Course was fun and played well. Yardage seemed to be on point. Wide fairways allowed for ease of keeping the ball inbounds. Saw four beautiful deer. I enjoy driving a bit to find a fun course to play on a day off and would play this one again. Highly recommend it.

doable for the money

This coarse has a,good layout that requires quality shots, specially off the tee. Always has 3.7 rated greens, decent fairways,and tee boxes. A little rough around the edges with bare spots and hardpan specially in overhanging tree areas. Good test of golf.

Have played many courses. This one is great for the intermediate to beginning golfer. Greens were in great condition. Overall the course was in good shape. It will be a little more difficult when it warms up. I will play this course again.

Great Value for your money!

Discovered this course due to its recent add on GolfNow.com. I have played this course twice in a 30 day period. Course was in great shape even during the dormant winter season. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Excellent value for the money. Nice pricing even on weekends. Can't wait to play when it gets warmer and everything is greened up.

Fun

I have played this course before and it is a layout that I enjoy not too difficult but challenging. The new ownership has done a lot of work on the course and it is in fantastic shape, the greens are rolling good.

Nice Country Club Setting

Shoal Creek formerly Griffin Country Club course, nicely designed with some water hazards and well placed sand traps. Fairways and greens both in good shape. Course is somewhat short from blue tees, but very few straight holes so is more about course management than length.

I play here regularly and find it a good challenge for intermediate players. The course rewards solid ball-strikers and those who can shape shots left to right and right to left. Rates are very reasonable, especially WInter, and staff is both friendly and knowledgeable.

Fun course to play.....excellent but tough greens

Nice course located in Griffin, GA. Older private club that was recently open to the public. Updated greens are excellent and course is challenging but not too difficult. Will be playing again soon.

Great course for any handicap player

A mix of narrow and wide fairways.
If you are careless with your driver carry some extra balls.
Very smooth and quick greens.
If you want to play a great course it is worth the drive.
