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.

Mary Calder - a locals perspective

This is a great 9 hole layout. The staff is friendly, and the value can't be beat around here. There is a blitz that goes out at 9 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. They have Golf Now reservations during that time which could create a problem, as they haven't worked with Golf Now to make those tee times unavailable. We were teeing off on the 5th hole from the tips when a couple of guys drove up the fairway to the tees they play and attempted to jump right in front of us. We worked it out.

Kjsmiff,

We appreciate the local perspective. We are looking into the issue of tee times and will address this right away. Thanks for the feedback.

Great Course for Beginners and Those Who Want to Get Back Into the Swing

The manager, Michael, is a true Southern Gentleman. I've NEVER been treated so well at a golf course anywhere, and have played almost every course in Savannah, GA. The Course is not difficult, but since I haven't played for a while and was never really good at the game, it's a terrific course for me. We had so much fun we went back two days in a row. The weather was great! The company was fun and the course was just enough for the two of us (both seniors 82 and 72 respectively). I wish Intl Paper would put a little money into fixing the cart paths -- they ARE bumpy and to avoid them, one must drive on parts of the course that should be reserved for walkers. Coffee is FREE! I rather wished they charged and then offered cream instead of that white chalk. And I wish they had something good to eat. Overall, I love the place and am so glad we visited. Be sure to see Michael -- he's the bomb, and not just with us. I saw him act the same way with everyone else with whom he spoke. Oh! I did not lose ONE ball!

don't waste your money

I'm a local and am just a fair player, but i have NEVER been treated so poorly anywhere let alone a golf course that needs the business. they have a manager there that complains about the carts EVERYTIME we play, there is zero concern about you or your play. I will not play there ever again, my 6 other friends also have had enough. i did not even get to play today because of the RUDE way of this person, the course is like playing in you backyard as well. until they do something with management i or my friends will no longer play at this facility. AWFUL .

I had fun the fairways were in good shape

I have played this course a lot over the years. It was in decent shape and had its challenges. For the money it was worth it. I guess occasionally you run across a member who thinks he can do whatever he wants with no regard for golf etiquette. He made me mad from the very beginning by starting his round on hole #9 instead of #1 which put him in front of me 3/4 of the round. That would have been okay but as I easily caught up to him on practically every hole, he would not let me play through. I was playing par golf until I caught him. I even went to the club house after he picked his own tee box and got some snacks and came back and still caught up to him. What a jerk! Well any way I probably will not play there again for a while!

needs some work

Played 18 on a weekday morning at about 11 o'clock. The course had very few people on it which was nice, The tee boxes were uneven and poorly kept, the fairways looked like someones front yard that hadn't been mowed in about 2 weeks. The greens were uneven but decent for the most part. When we made it to the third hole, was when the greenskeepers decided it would be time to start cutting the grass, which kept interrupting with our game as they would be cutting fairways when we were trying to tee off. None of the water coolers had anything in them, this course needs a lot of attention, it was my first time playing it, and definitely my last.

Course is a joke.

Worst greens I have ever seen, had more dirt than grass on them. Tee boxes full of weeds and uneven, absolutely no cart paths, and the "fairways" are like an average backyard.

The greens are in terrible shape.

The greens are ate up with fungus and or insect damage.When you putt it is much like a plinko game or pinball machine the ball bounces and jumps due to the damaged greens. The fairways are not well cut,with weeds and bare dirt prevalent. They should pay you to play this course .It is easily the worst course in the Savannah area I have played.It is only a 9 hole course that you play twice for 18 holes.It seems as though it would be in alot better shape with only 9 real holes to have to take care of.
