Bacon Park's greens were still recovering in August 2018, but they have plenty of interesting contours. This is the 15th. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 11/07/2018
Don't waste your money
Bacon Park should pay people to play here. Greens are sand and weeds. Even when they aren't under reconstruction they are littered with crab grass. Strange layout, the 9th doesn't get you even close to the clubhouse. No cart person, better get all your drinks before you start. You won't be near the clubhouse again until you finish 18. It's kind of funny the carts have GPS lockout near the "greens". Driving on a green definitely couldn't make their condition any worse than they already are!
Need new greenskeeper
Horrible conditions, atrocious, staff was nice, payed 30$ for 9 holes on a Sunday, unknowingly the greens looked like a ww1 battleground, this course would be great if you’re trying to just get trashed and hit a ball, other than that don’t play until they renovate
Place is money
Greens are a little sandy but nothing you can’t handle. You gotta see it for yourself!
P.s. people play slow
Yikes
Layout was fine but didn’t even bring our putters to the greens
Love the layout of the course and it has a lot of potential but the greens are horrible. They aren’t even greens, just sand. Whoever is in charge of that needs to do better, it’s too good of a layout for them to look like that. It’s definitely not worth what they charge right now with the shape it’s in.
Geeens
Layout is nice. Fairways were cut well but the greens are gone.
Not worth what they charge.
Played 18, fairway was chunked with crabgrass and pitted out holes. Greens were the worse I have ever seen on any golf course. Sand coating everything, plumes of grass and diagonal lines that destroy any line you have on your putts. Quite literally couldn’t actually play any sort of end game outside of 5 ft of the hole, ON ANY HOLE. Conditions were atrocious to say the absolute least.
Will not return.
Don’t bother if you play to enjoy yourself.
Putting in Sand
I have a real love/hate relationship with this course. It's normally very affordable, one of the closest to where I live, and there are typically tee times available when I want to play. Unfortunately the last time we played, we were not notified that the greens were all under construction. The greens had more sand than the bunkers. I get it. Greens need regular maintenance. More than understandable, but can I get a couple bucks off the tee time? Maybe a free hot dog at the turn? Nope. Speaking of the turn, if you do want said hotdog or a cold bev after 9, you get to trek clear across the course to get back to the clubhouse where every other golfer is going to wonder what the heck you're doing. Not to mention when you get back to the tenth, you have to convince the group you're jumping in front of that you just left the clubhouse at the "turn". Staff is old school, doesn't give a hoot about you or your tee time if you're not a regular or a member. I will continue to play here solely because of price and proximity, but big O.C. could put a lil more effort into this place to say the least.
Bacon park sucks
Plugged and sanded greens ( which course failed to notify golf now). Atrocious condition, slow play and overall rude employees. OC Welch needs to come visit his nightmare of a golf course.
For the money not bad but needs some TLC
Donald Ross would not be pleased with the conditions of this course. The greens were terrible. Fairways were inconsistent. For the money I guess you can’t expect much.
Stop letting walkers play on weekends and holidays. Having time to play 18. Hold s is over 5 hours
Walkers
Took 5 hours to play the course. We had one Walker in front of us with two with a cart in front of them was four walkers. They shouldn't allow walkers on weekends or busy days
I was surprised to see goats by the driving range, nice !
Worst conditions of any golf course I have played
This course should not even be in business. Poor at best conditions . Will not ever go back. Greens were just dirt.
Donald Ross would’ve disappointed
Donald Ross would be disappointed to have his name attached to this GOAT TRACK. I actually saw Goats on property! This place is just milking in the money. Poor excuse for public golf. Savannah public golf is already trash, this place doesn’t help at all. Won’t ever play here again. Played for the first time during winter golf, thought i’d give it another shot…bad decision. Even in the middle of growing season no grass on the greens. No difference between rough and fairway. Just POOR.
Great warm-up course!
My wife and I selected this course because of price and how close it was to where we were staying. We enjoyed the course lay-out. The sand traps and water hazards were there but not too difficult manage. Next year is their 100 year anniversary and the pro shop staff pointed out they are selling a wooden putter to mark the milestone. Of course there will be tournaments , merchendise and other events planned but I thought the wooden putter would be a cool addition to anyone’s golf collection.
Just needs work
Course is fun, layout is fun, jsut the course needs a little work and it’ll be great
Pace of play
The pace of play was so slow, I actually thought the 4 some had died on every green….
