Highland Walk at Victoria Bryant

It's easily one of the best courses I've played in my short time playing. The par 5s were crazy long and presented a very tough challenge. The par 3s were short and fun. The par 4s were plentiful with plenty of variety. The greens and fairways were spacious and in pretty great condition. The carts were very nice and I loved the auto breaking and monitor. Although the GPS was slightly off, locking the cart when you were not even in the woods and sometimes on the cart path. All I all, it's a very nice course.

Went to this course for the first time. I have been to other Georgia state park courses and this one did not disappoint. A few of the greens weren’t in the best shape, but overall the course was fun and challenging. I will definitely be back.

The positives: Great Value. As part of the State Parks courses, the prices are great. The course is very well maintained and nice carts. The views are beautiful.

The negatives:

Range closed on Mondays, the geofencing in the carts was a constant frustration. Often shutting the carts down even while on the cart path. The Hilliest, no, most mountainous course I’ve ever played. Bring an oxygen bottle.

The greens were perfect, which is a big deal to me. The value here was excellent. Pace of play was a little on the slow side. There are some really fun holes and some that are a little silly due to the terrain. The clubhouse team was a joy and the starter did a nice job as well. I'd go back, probably on a weekday versus a weekend. Keep those greens perfect!

This is a very nice course with challenging terrain. Very helpful staff the course condition was excellent.

Still a little early in year for grass greening up, ground was very hard to hit off off at times. Overall golf course was in very good shape with many trees cut from last visit. Loved the new carts with auto brake and video screens with yardage.

First time here. Great condition and course design. Challenging and fun. Staff is super friendly. Will definitely be back.

Good stuff: very affordable, more than reasonable condition given the time of year, quite good pace of play (About 4.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon).

Not so good stuff: Small range with little parking area for carts, diverse holes - some way too short (Driver + chip) and others way too long (No chance of reaching green in regulation), too many blind shots from the tees and even into greens.

Overall: ok, good value but probably wouldn't rush back if I'm honest. That said, there's not much public golf in the area in general, so can't be too picky.

Their practice area is outstanding. Can spend many hours to hone in your game. Always a pleasure to play there. Due to drought the ground was hard.

I cannot think of a single issue on any green on the course. Amazing.

Staff was rude, condescending, and incompetent. Got yelled at because the lady thought I had 15 in my group but we only had 4?? Was freaking out and couldn’t work the cash register. Course was cart path only even though course was dry. Course was Very unkept and couldn’t drive carts in parking lot?? Overall horrible experience from the beginning.

I have played the Highland Walk numerous times since 2019 and possess a Golf Pass, albeit not a membership.

The staff is always respectful and will try to help in any way possible; on this day the attendant allowed that I could start early as the next group was still waiting for their fourth player to arrive. At the first tee there was a very accommodating starter/marshal who recorded my particulars and issued course instructions; subsequently was observed interacting with foursomes, possibly maintaining pace-of-play protocol’s. The tee’s, fairways, bunkers and green’s were in good shape. As a septuagenarian veteran, and continuously improving high handicap golfer; as well, the profoundly challenging yet beautiful hills, valleys and gorges; it must be noted the at times volatile and inaccurate interdiction, the golf carts alarm, warning and remedying system, is profoundly overbearing, intimidating, alarmingly loud and profusely inaccurate as to the cart positioning and the out-of-bounds it’s intended to protect. You could be on the cart path, or as in one instance, while following the instructions to enter fairway 80 yards past where my ball crossed the ravine, yet in the fairway and doing as instructed, as I circled back to my ball on it’s high side (10 yards away from out-of-bounds) in the fairway, the cart shuts off and instructs it remedy to reversing a very long distance away from ball and back near the cart path (dangerous in itself). All the while, unnerved, I’m hollering at the system that I’m not in a restricted area, I entered fairway where instructed and as always follow protocols. For this or other senior golfers a session or round of golf can and should be cathartic and enjoyable; and as this course is not walkable for most golfers, the golf carts should not be a bastion, undermining all thing’s good about the playing the game!
