Southern Georgia ‘s Little Gem

The course is in great shape. The greens read true. For first time vistors, the course handbook was very helpful in your approach to each green. We saw eight alligators, no issue as they were at a safe distant away.

Will definitely return.

Golfer friendly, wide open and long.

The course was in great shape coming out of winter conditions. ( especially the greens ). There was a nice breeze that kept us from being eaten alive like our previous round, be safe and bring some bug spray.

Play this course and enjoy a great day of golf.

Good Course - coming around

This course has had its ups and downs over the past couple of years. The greens are looking fairly good, but are very hard to stick and roll extremely fast - which makes putting nearly impossible for the average golfer. Most fairways are pretty generous, with a couple of very long holes for the average driver, and even for advanced players. Some bunkers have little sand, and are mostly dirt which have damaged some of my clubs. Overall, it is worth the play if you're in the area.

Early Spring Golf

The fairways were starting to green up and fill in from winter. Greens were perfect. This is an interesting course in a beautiful setting that I would play over and over.

Perfect Greens

My group has been playing this course for almost a decade. This is the best that I have ever seen the greens. The par 3 8th & the par 5 15th are great holes and finally have the greens to match. Being late spring, the fairways were a little bare but with the rain this week that should change.

BTW... Fix 3...looking forward to the day that I can't find a ball mark to fix on a green other than the mark I just made!!!

Good Course in Good Condition

Very nice course in good condition. Friendly staff. Slow play on a Saturday morning despite the marshall's best efforts at moving people along. Play this course on a week day and you will have a much quicker pace of play.

I rated 4 stars, because 3.5 not an option

This course would likely be a 4-star course at times during the year, I'm sure.

Being March, it was 3 1/2 star condition-wise.

Golfnow rate is great, and their regular rate is reasonable, too. Membership rates are about as good as I have seen---if you want to walk.
