Georgia National Golf Club

My last review was about the course leaving thatch everywhere. Well, I’m pleased to say, they got it together. The course was in great shape during this round and I’m looking forward to returning. Kudos to the grounds crew!

Course layout is very good, challenging but fair. Considering time of year, fairways and greens were very good. Cart paths need extensive work. Carts are newer and excellent with electronic tracking. Pro shop is fine, small bar was fantastic, prices were really fair. Jessica is a treasure. Only gripe and it’s a big one is pace of play. There were 2 foursomes ahead of us on a wide open day that were pacing 4.5-5 hours. Players lacked any golf etiquette whatsoever, parking in front of greens and tallying scorecards while still in the way of the next group. Unfortunately we did not see a Marshall the entire round. If they fix that, I would join in a flash, it’s very close to being a great semi-private.

I play this course often. However, the past two times, the course has been littered with heavy thatch. The course needs to blow this grass from the fairways, fringe and the over two-inch ruff. This is not typical for this course. At the conclusion of my previous round here, I asked about this and was told, “the guys just haven’t had a chance to get to it yet.” Well, it appears that they’ve decided not to do it at all. It’s extremely frustrating to lose balls or have to take extra time to locate a ball that often times, simply rolled into the ruff from the fairway. This could account for the very slow pace of play.

The course is in great shape. The greens were being sanded, but still roll good. It's a very challenging layout.

Extremily disappointed with the management of the golf course when I played it. I was looking forward to playing a nice golf course with my son as we had travelled from Florida to play to hang with my family. I chose Georgia national because in GolfNow as I saw that the reviews seemed okay. Needless to say I booked the course thinking $85 Saturday at 9:50 AM I am in it. From the outside the facilities look nice. Not so much when I got closer. First thing I noticed, majority of the golf carts had holes in the seat. Secondly, I looked over the practice green, and I noticed that it was aerated. This got me upset because I would not have not booked this golf course at that price, and I traveled over an hour to get there. They should have communicated to the golfers about the punched greens. They are willfully deceiving their outside nonresident golfers because they’re not letting anybody know about the aeration, while making people pay full price to play at this course that was unputable.

The course is in great shape. Look forward to playing it again soon.

Probably the best course I’ve played all year. Was able to get an early tee time. Around Covington early times go so quickly you can’t hardly get them. I would say the greens are elite. Super fast, incredibly smooth, & in immaculate shape. Fairways in great shape & the rough was tall enough to affect the shot enough to be a slight penalty. Only knock I could put in was the back 9 bunkers weren’t raked. All the front nine bunkers were machine raked and easy to predict. I will be going back several times this year. Georgia National will find a permanent spot in my course rotation

Really liked this course. Greens were fast and consistent. Fairways and traps were in good shape, as were most tee boxes. Only thing I didn't like was that two of the three par-fives weren't really reachable in two unless you're a major risk taker. At $50, it's a great deal. Will play there again.

Little slow play… wish there was a Marshall however course is in condition and the value is worth it

Played a round after rain that morning. Soggy conditions but still a good course and would play again

The pro shop staff were quite rude to multiple people checking in to play. Would not return.

I enjoyed my experience and I was teamed up with a good group of people that we enjoyed being around each other.

Georgia National offerd challenging golf in a nice environment. Some holes really reflect a championship feel and at times fairways were in awesome shape. Our group never got to the feel on the greens, but I would not blaim it on the quality of greens, but rather the players.

There is significant room for improvement in the greenside bunkers. At least twice the ball bounced 50 yard to a random direction from the bunker as the bunker ground was like concrete. The drainage is not working properly and there is no loose sand on the bunkers. The second improvement to make the overall experience nicer would be to fix the cart paths, as the ride can be bouncy.

I would still highly recommend the course as it offers good value at least during the weekdays. Also the layout is suitable for better players not to get bored, but beginnerd to enjoy their roind of golf. I give four stars due to the unacceptable conditions of the bunkers.

A solid layout and finishing holes 13 to 18 are an outstanding test of golf.. Greens are small for the length of the course and not well defined.. Number 1.. 7.. 11..

Greens ran smoothly despite scouring and were firm.. So hard to hit greens in regulation..

Fairways were still a little softer after the rain but were pretty good. Tee boxes well grassed

Bunkers were just terrible.. I literally was sitting on stone on front bunker on 6th. Yet balls could be caked in mud as well

We had an outstanding lunch in the clubhouse and very reasonable.. Pace of play was pretty slow for mid week and no rangers around.. The downhill 17th fairway is dangerous and were almost hit by balls from the tee from impatient players..
