Fantastic golf facility.
This was my second time playing this course. My son and I had a great time playing at this golf course. The staff is extremely helpful. The course plays great. I will be back again and again, this is a hidden gem. Keep up the great work.
A very enjoyable experience
I can't remember a round of golf where my buddy and I played 18 holes in about 3 hours. It was ideal and we will certainly return.
Eastside courses
Huge greens are in great condition, faster than the practice green. The layout is pretty open, easy to score, back up to the blue tees if you want more of a challenge. Club house staff is great.
Greens sanded
Greens were recently sanded. Of course they don't tell you that when you book or check-in. A few of the greens are in really bad shape due to disease. Hard to putt on many. Overall this is a decent track that's challenging but not overwhelming. But needs some maintenance right now. Played 10/18/20.
Good day
Good course to play, overall in good shape, greens are good & you have grass to hit off of in fairway. Rough is penalizing, need to rake or blow grass clippings.
Beautiful layout
Bermuda greens and wiry Bermuda rough around the greens provided a lot of challenges. Mature course with a lot of overhanging trees likewise.
Elevation Changes on Every Hole
Beautiful mountainous course just east of Atlanta off I20. Course was in good shape despite being a rainy day. Greens ran medium fast and were bumpy. Beautiful cabin like pro shop with friendly staff. Did not use the driving range, so no comments there. The course could use many more directional signs to next tee boxes as I got lost several times. Some signs could have been placed better and would have been more effective. One sign said use stairs, where the bridge was blocked off. Howerver, you couldn’t see the stairs from the sign, so I drove down the cart path to the fairway until I turned around. Anyhow, I played three courses in three days, and every course could use more directional signage. Players should NEVER question the whereabouts of the next hole...NEVER!
Not in Good Shape
Fairways looked like rough in most places. Greens were slower than I’ve ever seen them. Will be a while before I try here again
A CHALLENGING GOLF COURSE
The Greens were in great condition as compared to last week which had lots of sand on the 1st 9.
I would give an excellent rating if the course maintenance had blown away chunks of cut grass on holes 16, 17 & 18. Overall this is a great golf course which we didn’t mind driving 75 mins to play here.
A Challenging Golf Course
We are impressed with Ken the pro shop manager who is very friendly and he went out of his way to explain and showed us the course when we told him that it was our first time there.
Indeed the course layout is very challenging ....it’s also hilly and with much topographical & elevational changes. Most of the greens’ condition are generally puttable in this time of the year. However, the grass in the rough needs to be cut shorter as balls get lost if you’re slightly out of the fairway.
Overall, it’s a very good course.
The state has let this course fall to ruins.
I have played this Course many times in past few years. They blame the rain for the terrible condition of fairways and greens. What Rain! If you can find your ball in the middle of fairway, your lucky. The grass is just tall enough to swallow your ball. This use to be a beautiful course. No it’s in the top worst in GA.
I wouldn’t waste your money for a neglected course of this caliber.
The fairway grass needs cutting.
The fairway grass was too tall... Can’t locate my ball.
Lost two balls on the fairway.
Glass clippings all over. Needs a better job.
The parking lot needs repair on paving.
Challenging for amateurs - lots of hills!
Loved the beauty of the course and the weather was perfect! Great practice green and driving range. Clean restrooms and pro shop.
Always a challenge
Grass had not been mowed and almost lost my drive on 9 that was right down the middle...Had to drive over it to find it.
Fairways and rough had not been mowed in some time.
Ray
Couldn’t tell the fairway from the rough. Understandably there have been some storms and rain but this was truly a unique experience that i don’t care to undertake again. Challenging and demanding course but it needs some TLC to get it back to where it needs to be.
Needs help, but not a bad course
The fairways play well and are up kept relatively well. Punishing rough. Cart path is not bad. The greens are horrid, takes a full swing for a 15 foot putt. They are also not kept up well at all. Sand traps are also in really bad condition. A few changes and this could be a really good course. No clue why the range isn’t open. Hasn’t been open either time I’ve played.
