Bacon Park Golf Course

the course is improving. they cut out parts of some greens and put it sod so they are putting in good effort to make the course better. they arent cutting the grass too short so the fairways have been greatly improved ! only thing is you can get cheaper prices at every other course around. my guess is theyre trying to pay for those new gps equipped golf carts. ironic thing is the carts seem to be what most people are complaining about. play here enough and ull get used to them. overall im mostly pleased with the recent results !

On my way to Maine we camped here. I played 18. These carts with their GPS cut offs are a bit disturbing especially with no paths or out of bounds marked. I got stuck a few times slowing rate of play. Speaking of which I was delayed by a couple of walkers that didn't seem to care who was behind them or how long they were playing. It's not the masters! Others are playing too!

All in all the course was a bit challenging, especially the greens, but fun. I'll be back as I see they're improving. ⛳

No bev cart, slow pace of play, half of the greens have massive craters of sand in them and it’s way too expensive for what you get.

Many of greens had damaged areas that interfered with putts. Cart paths were non continuous with no indication where to proceed that resulted in a cart lock-up. Frustrating to unlock cart and know where to go. Coarse cut so short that many shots hitting off dirt.

Not up to par. Tee boxes were ok. Fairways lacked grass. Greens were damaged by disease with large areas filled in with sand. Like a bunker in the middle of maybe 30% of the greens. We had a good time but it had nothing to do with the course. I was told that somebody bought the course and put a lot of money into it. Not sure where it went but it wasn't in improving the turf. I won't go back.

Played with a college reunion group. Course layout is very good. Will be a great course when the repairs are complete.

It was a nice day and great course with good friends!!!

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.

the course was great the staff was great would play this course again

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.

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
