A nice course thats not to difficult.

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.

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.

New Name, great shape

The course is in great shape, especially the greens. The back nine showed some signs of aeration, but still rolled true. The fairways or nice, off the fairway can be tough, little long probably can stand for an inch or so cutoff, but still able to locate the ball. The staff was very friendly and helpful, actually let us tee off a little early knowing they had a group outing around 9am. I liked the course when it was under the name of Griffin Country Club, but really love the place now especially the Staff.

Great experience

This course is a must play!!!! From tee to green everything was in excellent condition. Fairways have bunkers (with real sand) many of the greens are protected by bunkers, the greens has some undulation ,depending on flag placement can make putting a challenge. The course is clearly marked for hazards & out of bounds.
It's worth the ride especially for the cost. Will definitely get the fellas together for a nice round of golf

Charming older course

Wide fairways, Large greens. Several hills to add to the challenge.

Ladies tee are combined with the Men's white tees on some holes.....sorta strange.

Maybe the top value in the area

The Club at Shoal Creek was formerly known as Griffin Country Club. It re-opened sometime in the last year with the new name & under new ownership. One of the first things the new owner did was replace the greens and it shows. For the most part, they are really in great shape. The course overall was in good shape, especially for the price. We paid $20+ tax and it is certainly the best course in this area I've played for that price. Looking forward to playing here more often as it is only about 20 minutes from my house.

Very nice course

Everything about this course is excellent. Greens, fairways, tee box all in excellent shape. This course is worth the drive down to Griffin.
Now the gps to find it is another story. You going to have to call club house to get direction.
