Fun course and decent value

Few of the greens have the black sludge on them, all the fairways were great, level tee boxes (1 was extremely overgrown, otherwise fine). Would play again for being 30 minutes from my house. Slightly overpriced for a Sunday round in south GA.

Booking Confusion

I looked on Golf Now and saw there were tee times available at 10:05 @ $40. We wanted to play earlier so I called the pro shop. After discussion with the person handling the call, we decided to book at the Golf Now tee time. She told me she could handle for me.

When we checked in we discovered our rate was $54. When I questioned the rate, the gentleman in the pro shop was insistent that our rate was $54 and that there was no such thing as a $40 Golf rate. I even showed him the rate on the Gold Now app. He still insisted our rate was $54. Rather than continuing to deal with is overbearing obnoxious person, we went ahead and paid the $54 rate.

Guess lesson learned... when booking a Golf Now tee time, do it yourself rather than trusting the shop staff to do it as promised. Plus the golf staff needs to learn what rates are being offered for their own course

Needs Some Work

The sand traps were unplayable. Fairways were good, greens: some good, some very poor.This course needs some work to bring it back to a high quality.

Great Course Overall

Love playing here but as all other courses ownership changes and prices increased almost $20. Only downfall is course does not drain especially on the greens which causes them to lose parts of their greens every year. There isn’t enough wrong with the place to where you would have a bad time with your buds though.

Greens are really lacking

Not worth the money to play here. Greens are in terrible shape, allow walkers early in the day which slows up pace of play.

Staff is friendly.

Great course overall

Aside from a few greens that were pretty bad the only other thing was the sand traps were like concrete. Other then that the course is great.

Nice course - still early

Enjoyed the course a lot. The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens especially in the back nine were a bit rough but I would expect them to fill in as summer approaches. Decent layout. I would not be surprised if the course conditions improved in the near future. Would play this course again.
