Old school classic

If you want to play an old school classic designed by Ross, this is a good one. The city needs to put more money into the course, but it was a pleasure to play and the greens were the fastest I ever played. The live oaks with the Spanish Moss were great and this place will definitely take you back in time. Staff was excellent and friendly. Played as a single early morning for 53 bucks on a Tuesday and was done in 3 hours and back to the family vacation.

A hidden classic

This course is a Donald Ross design from 1926. You can tell - it has the shapes of many Ross courses. The greens are actually pretty quick and true. (Ignore the practice green). If it had the maintenance budget of a private Ross, the fringes and first/second cuts would be tight and fast and the course would get its due. Alas, it does not, but the operator does appear to appreciate the course and is trying.

Fun to play, I'd play again.

Time has passed this course by

The first 3 greens had giant depressions filled with sand. The electric carts had instructions to where they want you to go but with 0 paths it shuts down frequently to areas you'd not expect. Doest feel like much has gone into improvement or maintenance since ross opened it in 1926

It's clear that the new group managing the property cares about golf and design. Greens rolled very true and had t0 be handled strategically. Holes were interesting each one different. Great value at a muni that is well cared for.

Value for Money

At $40 a head this is good value for money but some greens need some work and while generally course condition was good there is plenty of room for improvement. Lay out is varied if flat. Still considering my home courses charges over €350 a round this course is worth a shot.

A great day of golf

I had a really good day at Bacon park and plain on going back. this course is a little short but sometimes that's a good thing. I was able to get a round in and watch some football that day. the staff was very friendly. you better pay attention to the golf cart GPS for the cart path was tough to follow and not there at times but it was my first time at this course. the price that I got off golfnow was really good as well.
