Bacon Park Golf Course

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.

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.

Course is fun, layout is fun, jsut the course needs a little work and it’ll be great

The pace of play was so slow, I actually thought the 4 some had died on every green….

There is nothing positive to say about this course. It is a muddy goat track that is so overbooked that at any moment in the front nine, there would be 3-4 groups visible on upcoming holes. The greens were atrocious, beat up, rock hard, and an abolishes guessing game on what the speed was going to be on every green. No consistency, no care from the staff, and not a single redeeming quality about this course. It used to be actually playable, never in great shape, but playable. Now, it is just a green spray painted eyesore in the middle of Savannah. This will be the last time I play this course, no matter how desperate to play a round I get.

First, upon walking out of the clubhouse you see what they called a putting green that looked like a rough on the fairways NO Grass and someone put two hole flags hat were pounded into this dead area!

Second, all the fairways wmwlyas like hitting off deadpan with very little moisture in the fairways and grass!

Third, the majority of the greens had been sprayed to look like there was green when they were terrible. A lot of the greens had places of sand on them which made putting a joke and making our experience very disappointing

Fourth, 90% of the tee boxed you were hitting off of sand! This course is in need of water, maintenance and attention to fixing up the whole course! I won't be coming back to this lack of maintenance they call a golf course

Super hilly. The greens are evil. If u over shoot the ball goes into the revine of despair. Fun course that makes you play your best or throw your clubs in the woods

This is the third time I have played this course. Each time I have played it, it has been very slow play. The greens were not in very good condition.

Great staff! The people working there is top shelf. The condition of the fairways and the greens are poor, needs a lot of

Maintenance.

An unexpected find!! This Donald Ross muni has the same layout as when originally designed in 1926, the greens appear to have many typical Ross characteristics, where built up and had plenty of undulation.

The course conditions were not the best; however, the rolling layout, old school greens make up for the conditions.

Worth a trip to play this Ross gem.

This course fits my level of expertise. Plays 18 holes 3- 3.5 hours. Love the GPS in carts

What a fun track!! My wife and I truly enjoyed our found on Thanksgiving Day!! Older shop and club house but that’s ok!! Couple greens needed help but for the price this is a steal. I’m lay this historical course when your in Savannah!! We will be back!!

Played the course last minute. It was a neat old golf course, steeped in history. We were pleasantly surprised with the layout. The greens didn’t look good but rolled true and held really well. A good value for money.

Overall good experience at Bacon Park Golf course, affordable and sortable course. Very fun!

Played here in September and the course was greatly improved. Tee boxes and fairways were in nice shape Roughs had been cut back so you could find your errant shots. The greens showed the greatest improvement. They have repaired the bad areas and they are very playable. When the greens fill out they could be really nice. They’ve also cut back and cleared out a lot of the high heavier rough areas. I believe the course may be under new management and it shows. If they continue this course could become nice place to play.
