Fairfield Plantation

Fairways are in excellent shape and played great considering the 45+ days of 90+ degree weather with little rain. Greens could use some attention but rolled decent and much slower than expected. Bunkers are excellent with white fluffy sand. Cart paths are being repaved in bad spots which is nice. Staff was friendly, we played on a Sunday with a 9am tee off and had zero pressure from behind and no one in front. Overall id rated it a solid 8 out of 10.

Great course

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The terrain made the course somewhat challenging. Fun course to play.

Much improved

I gave this course a not so good review last time I played it. Let's begin with the good, the layout is great! They have started redoing the cart paths that are bad. Still plenty to be replaced but they are doing it. The fairways are looking much better burger off the fairway and you will be hitting out of some rocky stuff. The greens were ok, small and of the Bermuda type. They roll at about a 8 and some are what I consider thin. The bunkers were much improved with clean white sand. Hopefully the improvements continue into the future.

Best condition in 20+ years!

As a resident in the Fairfield community, I have played this course many times. This weekend the course was absolutely in the best shape I have ever experienced. The greens were in especially great shape. Hats off to the grounds crew!!! One of the best values in local golf.

Staff???

Staff were rude because we used golf now. Complained about golf now to each of our foursome as the entered.

Snack bar staff ignored one of our players to get food and drinks.

Watered greens while we were playing. Tee time was at noon.

No one else on course so play was fast except for watering.

$11 for 18 holes is crazy.

The conditions were really great. Greens were soft enough to fly into and stop and the fairways were still firm enough to get some run. A couple of rainy days really make a difference. I had a good round in the low 80's for me a good score. Have played here on other occasions and have always liked playing here. Staff was really friendly.

Decent course, would like to play more.

It was a decent course, well maintained. Electric cart was quiet and nice.

Green condition was different. (very slow)

I'm not sure if its just different type of grass or what.

Overall, I liked the course and the staff.

Although it was Saturday, there was only few players and was able to enjoy the golf.

Finally got a chance to play it.

My father would play this with a family friend whenever he would come to the area back in the 80's. Extremely good value with Monday rate. Not a great deal of water, but challenging nonetheless. Some holes were wide open while some are really tight. Back nine greens require a little work. Nice course.

Find another course to play.

The staff was very rude. The course was not in good condition and the greens are a 5 out of 10. Suggest playing elsewhere.

In good shape for any time of year

The course was in good shape. The greens where good shape with just a few rough spots. There were some soggy areas but that is to be expected for this time year. I will definitely be playing there again in the near future. Also, if you are like me and can't always find the fairways, you will like how well everything is cleaned out and easily playable from the woods. Fortunately, I only lost one ball during my round but that was because I hit it extremely bad. Hope this helps out.

All you need to know

Those used to avg ratings of 3.8 or up on GolfNow for Metro Atlanta, don't buy into this course's trumped up ratings. It doesn't hold a candle to the likes of Chestatee, Cobblestone and other area courses that are rated similarly. Fairways were hardly maintained and the trash/rough areas were basically rocks and roots. Bring a GPS with a course map, very positional golf course..need to hit it in the right spots or you will be frustrated by good shots turned bad.

The course has great features

Great lay out, well kept, greens awesome and fast. I had very good round, the only problem was the leaves on the fairways, but that's expected this time of year.

For this time of year the course was in extremely good condition, and very well paced. We played 18 holes in under three and a half hours.
Great value for the money.

Great value. Friendliest marshal I've met

Very good course. Good facilities and friendly staff. Pace of play was the worst I've ever encountered. All together nearly 5 1/2 hours to play.
