A bit worse than last time

Course greens are pretty bad. For someone who is good at putting these will be unplayable. For me it's was fine and just a fun day out. Cart paths can be a big challenging as they disappear here and there. They are essentially dirt paths. Sometimes the automated GPS will cut the cart off when you are on the cart path and accuse you of being off the path. That happened on 10. Layout is fine, nice big open fairways. I hope conditions improve.

Needed TLC

Donald Ross knows golf. Great old style holes and routing. Fantastic new golf carts. Friendly pro shop and starter. Dead or dying greens, bare fairway and unkept bunker (which is ok by me). It could be a fabulous course (again) with some TLC.

If I could rate it a 1/2 star I would

Absolute worst course we have ever played. Paid $90 for two seniors and I think the conditions were such that the course should not even have been opened. Almost every green was severely damaged, fairways were like cement. Very little maintenance done. Donald Ross would be mortified!!

Golf course abuse

One method for controlling Poa annua is by using a pre-emergent or post-emergent herbicide.

Donald Ross would roll over in his grave.

So much potential so little care. Greens are horrible. Tees are terrible. Fairways are serviceable. There are so many better options. Henderson, Crosswinds, Southbridge, Blackcreek, Sapelo Hammock just to name a few.

Be advised if you want to use the practice greens you must sign in. I was told they need to know who is there.? For a public course they sure are snooty.

The conditions of the course were moderate in as much as it is still winter. Was worth the price for 18 holes with a cart.

Disappointed

This course is in need of some true love! The greens are horrible ! For the course to be owned by the city, the greens alone should be playable! I know it’s winter time but other operators in the area seem to have playable surfaces.

Must Play

Having read Tom Coyne’s book “A Course Called America” I had to check out Bacon Park as I passed thro Savannah. What a treat! I’ve played a number of Donald Ross courses in North and South Carolina and this is a real example of his art. Course is not in pristine condition but the bones of a great course are there. Will definitely play again next time I’m in town. Thanks for the tips Ben!
