A little pricey for the conditions

Course is very dry. Greens are ok but fairways and tee boxes are rock hard from lack of water. We haven’t had much rain in quite a while but the course should be watering and if they are it sure doesn’t show. There is little to no grass on the fairways in many places and it makes good shots difficult. Some of the fairway bunkers are not being maintained either. I have really enjoyed this course in the past but to pay $50 to play on a Saturday and bring a friend to a “nice” course this round was a little disappointing.

Gone down hill

At one time this was a nice golf course but it has gone down hill recently. The layout is still good and the fairways have some grass but it’s very dry and hard. A shell of what it used to be which is a shame.

An absolute goat ranch

This was obviously a a well thought out layout by Rees Jones that has become laughable. It is the worse conditioned course I've played in decades. Visiting Savannah with friends and wanted to get a round in. Paid $49 and was maybe worth $15. I'm with the previous reviewer, if I owned property on that course, I'd be livid. Run, don't walk-this experience sucks out loud.

Terrible

This course is a disaster. Should close until “playable”. A real dig track. We quit after 5 holes. Didn’t go into clubhouse to complain. Worried about being arrested after I vented. Even cart paths were a disaster. I’ve seen cow pastures in better shape.

Absolutely HORRIBLE

Could not believe how BAD this course has gotten! The conditions are horrendous and it’s obvious the owners don’t care anything about maintaining or improving the course. It’s so sad that this was once the second or third best course in Savannah! I feel sorry for the homeowners as I’m sure this course brings down the property values. The owners and staff should be ashamed that the course is even still open for play - it’s that BAD!!!

Decent Time

The course itself is not in the best shape. It’s mid April and you would think that the course was over-seeded in the winter and was already growing new grass. That is not the case at all. The course looks like it is dying. Multiple bare spots on the greens and the fairways are more like a cow pasture with multiple weeds throughout. I really can’t complain too much as I played 18 holes with a cart for $14. The course has tons of potential but needs a lot of work. I was not sure if the bunkers were bunkers or water hazards. Overall, I would play it again but there are better courses in the area for better prices.

Nice Course, Friendly Staff

First round of the year for me, came down from up north and took advantage of a hot deal. A good layout within a nice residential community. The houses aren’t really in play for the most part which is nice. Was the first one off (alone) so I buzzed right around. Fast greens, plenty of bunkers with good sand. For this time of the year conditions were decent. The cart paths could use some work but all in all a very enjoyable experience.

Fun course

Has a good mix of everything you want from a solid public course. Greens are true. Fairways open. Some challenges and many high risk reward shots.

Pre meeting round

Played with a friend prior to a meeting in Savannah. Had played here a couple of years ago and was slightly disappointed with the conditions. It may be just coming out of winter, but certainly not as good as 2 years ago. Still enjoyed the round, the pace of play was great and the greens were ok. Location is excellent in relation to Interstate and downtown Savannah. Pro-shop attendant was very cordial.

Greens and back up on somebody holes

Greens were fast. Some of the teeboxes were backed up and crowded due to everyone playing golf. May want to go real early or later on in the afternoon.

Needs a little love

The layout is terrific, and the course is a good value, but it needs some maintenance. The greens were bumpy and irregular, but perhaps that's to be expected given the season. Fairways were in good shape, but bunkers, tee boxes, and other areas need cleaning and maintenance. Some of the cart paths were crumbling as well. With a little work, this could be a top-notch golf course.

Un organized.

I don't know if they over booked, or just a lot of bad golfers. Five and a half hours to play 18 holes is un heard of. You don't start people off both sides. They end up meeting in the middle! The course was in very good condition. Greens a little slow. The only negative was the slow play.

Old and Tired

My 4 star ratings for this course are mostly due to the lack of anyone else playing which presented us the opportunity to go out a half hour earlier than scheduled and finish in under 3 1/2 hours.

This very old course may have seen it's heyday back in the 70's. The clubehouse and pro shop were empty except for a guy checking us in. And at the turn he was lying on the couch in the lounge.

For the time of year the course itself was in decent shape, but you could tell it had seen better times with not much recent maintenance.

I would not recommend this course to visitors but it may be okay for locals.
