Georgia National Golf Club

Love the layout of this course. No holes seem the same. Course condition was excellent. Greens were nice, true, and pretty fast. Great practice areas. Staff was very nice and professional.

I played this course over 20 years ago before it became part of the Canongate group. I recall it as being a solid course with equally impressive conditions. I found myself in the McDonough area recently and decided to stop by and see how Georgia National has aged now that it’s allowing public play again. Overall, I found myself longing for the early 2000’s throughout much of my round. The course has become a little ragged, such as, little sand in bunkers exposing the cement like bases, wood steps deteriorating to the point they were hazardous to use and golf carts without windshields. The range was poorly stocked with balls. Several large baskets were scattered on the range, but each only had a few balls. When playing the course, there were sight lines off the tee where trees are encroaching the preferred line. The greens were fast and the course conditions were otherwise decent, but Georgia National is no longer meeting the expectations its name creates.

Great course with a pretty good practice facility. Course was in good shape and staff nice. If you haven't been, you should find your way there.

I went by myself but ended up joining a threesome. Had a great time.

Fantastic. We try to play every course near us and we saw it on golf now . It's been members only course. We have played all Hilton Head courses it has the same feel.

Some parts of the fairways were soaked and extremely muddy and soft. A lot of the fairways were spotty with grass and just hitting off red clay.

The pace of play was extremely slow, course seemed to be over booked with locals showing up on the course in their personal carts and cutting in front of other golfers.

We played as a 4 some teeing off at 10:20. We play fast as we were waiting on a pair the first 11 holes. We were not playing very well a guess the couple in front was playing even worse. The greens were the fastest greens I have ever played. They were firm short and rolled. Fairways were a little soft and muddy from the morning watering. There is always mud on your ball when you play GA National. They need to sand the landing areas on the fair ways. Which should not be much sand since the fairways are tight. The course played tough with a little wind. Many holes played into the wind. A fee par 3 tee boxes need to be leveled. Some trees need to be cut back that are hanging out in front of tee boxes. The course is in good shape for most part and the greens are slick. . I will play here many more times.

Greens are very nice. Fairways just started to green up. It should be very nice in a month.

The service was great and the course layout is fantastic. The grass conditions were as expected coming out of the winter season but the bunkers were nearly unplayable. The concrete bedding was exposed in the majority of the bunkers. It required moving your ball and raking of the areas that actually had sand and play a shot. Otherwise the greens and fairways were good. Rate should have been lower due to the conditions outlined above.

Definitely worth it. I love the course and had a great time. However, the cart paths are in extreme needs of a do over, and the carts are very well outdated.

Other than that best course around

Carts paths are horrible but greens are great! You can tell it use to be a excellent course. No issues other then the cart paths.

Many years since the course. Glad that I revisited.

The greens, fairways and layout were very good, as noted by previous customers. Cart paths are being resurfaced, and the progress is good.

We’ll be back.

Decent layout, Feels like at one time this course was kept in great condition, but has now been neglected some. Still has potential and is enjoyable to play.

Great value! range and course both are very well kept. This is a private course and everyone knows each other. Some are very friendly but some are extremely rude. Staff was more than welcoming I appreciated the great service at the front desk and the main bar. Pace was rushed at times and we let groups play through but it didn’t matter there is always more coming. Finished the 18 holes in under 4 hours still felt rushed majority of the time. Overall good experience

Upon arrival, the staff member in the pro shop was uninviting and completely rude. If you don’t like your job, you can get a different one. Same thing with the girls at the bar. No greeting, no smile, just a simple “what do you want?”

As far as the course goes, I played in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday. As a single it took me 4 hours to play 18… pace of play was terrible. Members there clearly don’t have any etiquette. Group of 4 kept me behind them the entire round.

Carts were filthy. As far as the course goes, fairways were in decent shape. Greens rolled relatively true probably the best part of the course. If it was a tee box, fairway or green it was overgrown and untreated. Couldn’t hurt to spray some round up in the rough.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend to a friend and probably won’t return. Poor customer service.

Georgia National is currently open to the public. I have played all Green Valley Courses ( e.g. Providence, Crystal Lake, Heron Bay, Georgia National) and this my favorite one. All of the other courses are great but what I like the most about Georgia National is the overall course conditions, layout, and the greens! The greens are very fast but they roll true. It is a must play especially if you can play during the during the week. The only area of improvement are the cart paths. They need a lot of work on a number of holes. If you are a vet/military, you get an extra $10 during the week. I am not sure if this discount applies on the weekends. Range balls also come with your paid round. Friendly staff and great clubhouse with a variety of food and drink selections.

Great layout an fast greens. Golf cart path .

Need some work.
