Never disappoints

Easy access off of I95. Great layout with beautiful marsh views. Birds and gators add a little bit of Florida to this southern GA course.

OK muni type course

Decent muni style course, but some of the mowing and bunkers needed work Course was wet after a few days of rain and the tee boxes didn’t look mowed recently, but it had rained. OK course if you get a deal on the green fees. Recommend they spend some money and get some new range balls

Perfect weather

Different conditions, different holes....

Tale of every hole...kinda looked like they were short on folks to care for the course...some holes just beautiful, some were a little unkempt....some needed green work, some needed trap love, others perfect. great scenery....lovely design....the gent in the clubhouse was an absolute pleasure....Denny?!? Good experience overall, but 54 bucks should get a much more cared for golf course. Just needs a little more love....

Good course for beginners

The fairways and greens were in great shape but the green side bunkers need some maintenance, proper drainage and grass removable think this would add overall quality to the total experience of play to the golfers game. The starter is very nice and helpful wish all courses had a individual like him.

Scenic Layout - Will be Back

Enjoyed my round. It’s been a few years since I last played. I had forgotten the scenic layout of the Fri t nine. Overall in good shape. It appears they’ve decided to let the sand traps go - grass- weeds growing in a number of them. Not sure if a conscious decision or a maintenance-staffing issue. Played two days after Idalia came through, though, so they get a pass. Plus I only got in one - it was mostly under water but I found a spot to take a drop. I’ll be back.
