Live Oak/Magnolia at Bacon Park Golf Course

Crab grass is so bad on the greens its impossible to make a putt from more than a foot out.

You get what you pay for, and this course is probably one of the poorer conditioned courses in the area. Not a very challenging course, little water but a decent amount of bunkers. Fairways are kept in decent enough shape, greens are very hit or miss however. Some greens were in near pristine condition, and some were covered in crabgrass and sand spots. Great for a casual round of golf or a hangover scramble, but not a place to really test your skills.

Some greens in great shape- some had a few weeds. Great price with cart. Paired up with good people. Can’t fault them for all the rain making some fairways sloppy. Hopefully we can get some dry days to dry out course.

Wasn’t not told when I. Liked online it was going to be walking only. That’s right walking only, not cart path only but walking only. Had to pay for 2 because they wouldn’t let me book for a single when it was wide open. The I get there at 7:00 my tee time is at 7:10 and the doors are locked. They are locked past my tee time. My advice is if you are going to do walking only let it be known online and have the cart rate reduced to walking rate.

I didn’t play due to course being to wet to let carts out.

Played Bacon first time in years. Front nine greens very poor, but for some reason 13-18 greens all good? Tees and fairways are fine. Only 18 holes remain from old 27. If u want to play just nine and walk u will have to walk 1/2 mile from 9 green back to clubhouse.

No management of play so singles, walkers mixed behind foursomes. Waited behind older guys foursome every shot for 10 holes.

Such a shame to have a classic design continuing to be in the shape its in.

I have lived in Savannah for 3 years. I had always heard that this course was very challenging and not always in good condition. This Donald Ross course is exceptional. The rough is very difficult, as it has not been mowed, which appears to be at least 3-4 weeks. I am sure the budget for labor is very tight. There were 6-8 greens that unfortunately had a lot of goose grass. If you can get past the goose grass and the occasional rough patches on the greens, then you will undoubtedly enjoy this track. The fairways and tee boxes were better than most higher-end courses I have played. Bacon Park is outstanding!!! If you are not a "Golf snob" and want to play an epic layout, then definitely get out to play.

Staff was very unhelpful and unfriendly wouldn’t let us rent golf cart after prepaying for it.

For the value the course was very good. My first time playing this course was a wonderful experience. Pace of play was perfect. No delay or pushy groups were there on a early Saturday morning. A few greens had some dead areas but it's something I've seen on other courses in the area where I've paid more and not as relaxed. Staff was very friendly. I would love to return one day.

Old course not well maintained in my opinion. Staff are nice but price is too high for what you get. Seems people who play here don’t care for other players. Almost was hit from another player behind me. Flow is kind of slow.

Great design, such a shame that City of Savannah is wasting this asset. Should look to what Charleston did with their Municipal course.

Greens are a joke.

This course provides a decent play for the price. With that being said, the inconsistent and poorly kept greens make it a frustrating course for those trying to improve. Lots of fun long shots and overall a pretty course, but I’m afraid 3/5 stars is a very fair rating.

I used to caddy on this course back in the 70s for my dad’s blitz group. The course was in immaculate condition. It’s been a long since, but 14 out of 18 greens were deplorable and unputtable. It was a waste of time to line up your putt. From the time you putt the ball it will go left, right or hop all the way to the hole.

Most greens were un-puttable, bare and just in horrible shape. Fairways were patchy with crabgrass & other weeds, tee boxes were okay. Layout was decent. Not very challenging overall. I would only play this course for $20 or less.

While the majority of the fairways were in decent shape, most of the tee boxes were very poorly maintained. I had to stamp down the ground behind my tee each time to have a clear swing or I had to search around for a solid enough spot on the ground to even hold my tee. The greens were even worse. While some looked nice, others looked like an old world war 2 minefield that had been set off. Greens were either mach-5 or like trying to put in a swimming pool. The driving range was decent and I have no complaints for it. The golf carts were nice and water was provided with the carts, but that seems due to there being no water points or bathrooms along the entire course.

All in all, it was worth a try because we wanted to try a new course, but unless they do some VERY major reconditioning work, I won't be going back.
