Horrible course!!!

Don't waste your time or your money! This is the worst maintained facility I have ever been to. The proshop is disorganized, the bathroom/locker room is a storage closet for spare items and more unkempt than a festival portapottie, the carts GPS are frustrating as they don't maintain your location relative to the holes and constantly lock out, and the course is abysmally maintained. The putting surface would be smoother on the cobblestone streets in downtown Savannah!!! The tee boxes are far too close to the previous greens for a course primarily used by inexperienced golfers. Incoming golfers are firing shots in close proximity to the approaching tee boxes; it is unsafe. You may find it safer in an uncabbed ball retriever at TopGolf. I will absolutely never visit this course again. This course is an embarrassing representation of Savannah.

Great design,and staff.

Great Donald Ross design but the greens keeper ruined the greens, with help from an unusual frosty winter! Gordon and staff have it under control now and make the playing experience great for everyone. The greens will recover and the course is well worth the price tag.

Do not waste your time

I’ve been playing this course off and on since I was a kid. I’m now 65 and cant remember when I’ve seen this course in this bad of shape. Greens are the worst I have EVER seen on any course. Fairways are decent. It cost 50.00 to play today. They should have paid ME to play. I hope some changes are coming soon. They need to scrape the greens and start over. Won’t be back anytime soon.

Teriible

All the greens were sand pits and gravel. No cart for drinks. No club house at the turn. We had to drive carts all the way back tp get a water. No food except bag of chips. If I could give less than 1 star I would.

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

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.

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.
