Good time

We had a great day and look forward to returning. A fee places on the greens need attention but we were impressed.

Great course with lots of potential

First time playing this course, but it definitely won't be my last. A bit tricky to get to, but it was worth the trip. First, the staff was very helpful and the layout of the course was just perfect. Maybe the only negatives that I found were that a lot of the greens were in not the best of shape with scattered brown spots and they were very slow, and the fairways were quite a bit soggy due to the recent rains. Having said that, the grounds crew were very busy repairing and fixing all over the place, so I think that things will be a lot better in the coming weeks. Also, the elevation changes and the undulating greens makes this a treat to play. This is such a fun course to play that I will definitely book my tee time as soon as I settle on a return date to the Atlanta area.

Nice course!

Nice neighborhood course, close proximity to my home. A little hard to find without a GPS. Semi-private was possibly the reason I was able to get a good tee time and an excellent rate. The value for the dollar was great! Some greens in poor condition, Cart paths damaged, but overall, nice layout. Not too long, but not too short either. Staff seemed somewhat helpful. Planning to play this course again in the very near future.

nice variety of hole and undulating greens

The course has quite a few straight forward holes but also a few with some sharp turns to make the course seem a little longer then the posted yardage. was a visually appealing course. only non positive comments would be the extremely soggy greens which made it hard to play bump and run shots inside 60 yards. they even watered the green at 1:45 pm when they where still soggy from before. I hit a 3 wood from 265 that plugged 35 feet from the hole on the green. From all the plug marks on the green made it a little bumpy. To end on a positive note the sand traps were pristine and played true.

Good Layout

This is a good little spot. The course was in good shape, the greens were rolling a little slow but happy with the quality of the course. The practice facilities are very nice and the practice green rolls about the same as the course. I was able to play on a hot deal but I'm not sure the full price is worth it. Overall good condition and a nice layout. I will play it again.

Good course

The bent-grass greens were smooth. I had never played bent-grass before so it was a challenge to get used to them. I noticed a lot of ball marks where people just weren't repairing them. Sand traps were not raked and divots were not maintained in the fairways. This is a bad mark of the players that play there and not the management of the course. Overall, I enjoyed the round and would go back.

Awesome course! Not so much staff

Tried to buy an energy drink and the bar tender was extremely stressed out and rude. Then when she has less than the three people she had last time she recommended we buy stuff so we could tip her... Not even joking. Good course though! Fun and challenging to play!

March showers

I played after a week of on and off showers so the fairways were soaked in spots. Overall condition of the course is good. Greens are a little slow but in good condition. Practice range was just muddy.

Worth the drive

Course was pretty good shape for winter. Fairways were kept up and greens were holding up well against the frost. Cart paths were definitely in need of the repair that was already underway. Clubhouse staff and starter were friendly and professional. Overall good experience, will be back.

Nice Saturday course

We teed off at about 11:30am and finished around 3:15pm. For the first 6 holes we were by ourselves then we caught up we the group in front of us and the pace slowed way down. Saw several 2 and 3 hits from the tee box. Overall though it wasn't to bad. We did have to slow way down on our playing however.
Course is challenging with narrow fairways and all the leaves on the sides of the fairway,s make your tee shots count or lose a ball! Not much water in play on this course but there are a lot of sand traps that come into play around the greens.

Excellent Experience

Caught a beautiful day in January (sunny, mid-60's). So ran out and played thirteen or fourteen holes. Hadn't played Fairfield Plantation for a few months and found it in great shape. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Tees and greens were nice - especially for this time of the year. Fairways were firm but clean. I love the layout anyway and there are four or five holes that can only be described as challenging but terrific. There are no bad ones. I recommend the course enthusiastically.

Great Value

The golf course is in relatively good condition ... definitely some rough patches that could use attention ... especially the tees that have a lot of bare patches and cart paths that appear to be mangled by tree roots in many places. The greens are in good condition and are about an average speed. Decent layout but a bit on the short side even from the tips. Overall this course is a solid value for the price.

Fairfield Plantation Keeps on Improving

Been playing this course now for 4~5 years and every year the course seems to get better. Greens and bunkers are in pretty good shape, the fairways need a little TLC (and I had to share the one fairway with a deer) and the tee boxes were in good shape as well.

Short and narrow

Plays short from back tees. Well-kept - bunkers good, greens true - but on slow side. Green complexes were very simple.

Overall, course did not suit my eye. Course winds through housing development with out of bounds stakes on just about every hole, often on both sides.
