Mary Calder Golf Club

Course has received a lot of rain prior to me playing, hole #1 still a lake in front of tee box. Some greens being worked on, still a few wet areas on course.Hole #2 really wet.It's nice to see some work putting in to course.Will be a lot better when dried out. I like the course because your never rushed. Great day to really dial in some golf shots. Always enjoy threading the oaks off the blue tees on 1 and 10. Staff ALWAYS great to talk to. GN deal couldn't pass up. Great course to work on your game. Looks like there growing in a new practice putting green.

This was my first time at Mary Caulder. My partner had olayed there recently so I knew what to expect. The pro shop welcomed me and we went out right away.

Not crowded (threatening weather) so pace of play was whatever we wanted. The course layout was good but maintenance could have been better. The traps didn't have much sand but I got out of the one I hit into okay. The greens were very slow.

This is a good course for the money but don't expect country club conditions. I would return.

I know Mary Calder had fallen on hard times for a few years...but today it was enjoyable. The greens were a little slow dew to the course staff had the day off(Columbus Day)I could tell that they would put pretty well when cut. I made 3 birdies even though they were slow. Every green is trapped and elevated and the only real weakness on the course is that the traps need some new sand. I am actually looking forward to play here again....If you like to play fast with no waiting ...Play Mary Calder.

My compliments to Cameron , the guy who is instrumental in bringing the greens, fairways, and rough back into playing condition. Very enjoyable now. The bunkers are clean, but could use some real bunker sand. Their is a new putting green that looks fabulous. It's supposed to be ready in a couple of more weeks.

Staff is very accommodating. Carts are always well prepared. Look forward to playing again soon.

I've played nicer courses, more prestigious courses, courses that have pristine and manicured greens. This is not one of those courses.

What this is, is a friendly, forgiving and FUN course. It's not exceptionally challenging, but it allowed a poor golfer such as myself to enjoy the game for what it is... a game. I played the course solo and there was never pressure to pickup because someone was pressing from behind. The wide open fairways and greens allowed me to focus on my shots.

I truly enjoyed this course and will definitely play it again!!! This course reminded me that golf is a game to be enjoyed and not a challenge to stress you out. I recommend it for those who want to be reminded what it's like to play and just have fun!!!

The cras needs to be cut but we played for $12 so can't expect that much. Also if you just walk in you can play all day for only $20

I have played this course probably 8 times in the past two years. There have been three different pros here over that time. This course was kind of run down a year ago but the new pro has just come in and there are some upgrades being made in the condition of the fairways and greens. Course is an excellent value for the money and is getting better all the time. Friendly staff.

This golf course is in horrible shape. Foot high weeds growing in the fairways; greens with half grass, half dirt; tee boxes not too bad. One bright spot was the sand traps. They were mostly nicely raked and pretty playable. Oh, and the staff was pleasant.

There is no telling on where the Fairway starts or ends.

Course not maintained. Only a nine hole course, not 18. Golf Advisor should not indicate 18 hole course.

I like this course. The fairways are wide. I was plus 2 in losing/ finding balls lol. The price is awesome if you want a course to work on your game. It's a nine hole course but I usually shoot 18 and do better the second time around. 48-45 today.. the greens are a bit rough. I know it's not the most beautiful course but there are enough traps to make it challenging and I played 18 for $14.00 so not bad

I play this course when I catch the right deal on GN. Decent 9 holes, Fairly challenging. clubhouse sucks, but every ten rounds or so I get a $10 credit grom GN so i play this course for $5 and the staff, which are all very friendly will let me play the course again for $2-5 upcharge if I have time. If you can catch the right deal it is a good course to play as it is rarely crowded and a good course to take your time "brush up" your rough spots in your game. green conditions are fair at best but overall for an average price of $7 every ten rounds I play I can't complain!

I grew up in Savannah playing this course when it was owned and maintained by the Union Camp Corp as a semi-public facility primarily for the enjoyment of UC employees and their families. Now owned and operated by International Paper Corp, IP has decreed that the course must be self-supporting, which is to say, it's poorly maintained and as such a shadow of its former self. Better to turn it into a wildlife refuge than to maintain it in its present poor condition.

Once upon a time Mary Calder GC was a pretty decent 9 hole course, put there and supported by its previous owner, the Union Camp Corporation, for the enjoyment of its employees. Now, under the neglectful ownership of Union Camp's successor corporation, International Paper Corporation, Mary Calder is a poorly maintained shadow of its former self. If you're looking for cheap golf and poor playing conditions, play this course.

On a whim, myself and 3 other friends decided to play this course while in town. We were unsure if we were in the right place while driving towards a large industrial plant and nearly turned around before seeing a few golfers on carts.

We kept trucking and found the clubhouse, entered and paid $14 for 9 holes of golf. What a deal that was.

We all really enjoyed playing the course. We knew it was not a TPC Sawgrass level course and did not go in expecting anything super awesome. We did, however, find a welcoming course that was challenging enough for us to compete and have a great day even thought it was sweltering hot outside.

I would definitely go back again if I were ever back in town again.

Thanks!

Golfers, with negative comments about Mary Calder Golf Club, please be advised…

in less than a month, 2 greens mower, 1 Cushman, 1 rough mower, 1 Gator (Use to pull weed sprayer), and 1 Fairway mower have been stolen or vandalized, at this Golf Course, which at best is on a Shoe String Budget.

Further, please stop calling this a “Golf Course in the middle of an Industrial Park…

Simply walk into their entrance, turn right, there on the wall is an Aerial photo of Mary Calder, opening day 1937, with tennis courts, where now stand their driving range.

An Industrial Park sprung up…around Mary Calder Golf Club.

Is this course rough? Yes, it could use some help, but it is perfectly playable, given the above.

As a matter of fact, I saw a grounds keeper, mowing, with the same riding mower I have back in Atlanta…no kidding! The staff is trying its best, under the circumstances

For the last 8 years, Michael Pope has champion, The First Tee Organization, from this location, helping children learn to play and love golf. I checked, before I came down to visit my Mother…There are no municipal golf courses in Savannah. This course is a Great value: You can pay $15 during the week and golf ALL DAY LONG, with a cart! Same goes for the weekend; $20 gets you all day too!

I have only been golfing for 2 months, my Wife, has now joined Me, and this was only her second time on the Links…WE LOVED IT.

Great friendly staff, especially Michael Pope, and not 1 rude golfer on the 9 hole course…

People were telling Me, they needed to get their Wives, children or that Uncle, who wants to learn to play, out on the course.

This is Savannah’s last hope for the common Man. Unless You are rich (Which I am not) and can pay the $105 greens fee at The Club at Savannah Harbor, this is the best golf value, ever!

If there are any Big Businesses, Philanthropies, Anyone…please help out, in any way you can.

GOLFNOW, I think it best suits you, too send a rep, and check out the situation, because if this course fails, you’re going to lose a lot of clients.

While, You and I are working during the day, someone is sleeping...

At night, when you and I are asleep, someone, who’s been sleeping all day, wakes up and wrecks havoc on this world.

Don’t let individuals like that win, help support Mary Calder Golf Club!

I was hoping for nice course in a southern state since I am from up North. Yes, I got good deal thru Golfnow, but course was not what I expected. Greens were uneven and rough. Fairways were average. I should have paid a bit more and went somewhere nicer. Was also very hard to find course. Was in the middle of a industrial park.
