Nice greens

Nice layout. Good greens. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good quality course at a fair price. Greens were very good. Had some mole cricket problems in the fairways but still they were nice.

GREAT SHAPE

THE COURSE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE EXCEPT FO THE BUNKERS WHICH ARE FULL OF ROCKS. IF YOU HAVE A BUNKER SHOT YOU WILL HIT A ROCK WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THE REST OF COURSE IS PERFECT.

10 men from our church played 2 days on a golf package, stayed in the group lodge. Good deal Course is a fun course, greens & tee boxes in good shape, no complaints. Fairways thin in some areas, not a big deal because it's not entire fairway. New sand in traps need to be sifted for rocks. Good package deal especially if you stay in group lodge. Buffet breakfast great. People you deal with are friendly & helpful. Not first time doing this, will go back. Never crowded

Rocks in the Bunker - watch out for the kids

4 3-somes of what appeared to be teenagers ruined the round by teeing off on the back nine around 3 pm...They need to learn etiquette and how to waive a single player through. Play ground to a halt - took 30 minutes on #10 after I made the turn in just under 2 hours. Walked off the course and explained the situation to the woman in the pro shop. She was nice, but I don't get a sense she has any flexibility around a situation they let occur. Comment to the course - don't let groups go off the back nine when there is virtually nobody on the course!!!
Also, rocks in the bunkers were huge - hit a sand shot and dinged up my wedge pretty good. Rocks were about half the size of the golf balls - I know that because several came out and landed on the green. New sand, but looks like they just went out and dug it up. Plus, it's heavy litter-box sand - like hitting out of wet cement.
I can see why the locals like it - it's cheap and pretty good, but greens were very slow and ground was hard. Had shots from the fairway where it felt like hitting off a parking lot - I typically take a good divot, had shots where my club literally bounced off the ground at impact and only took the grass lightly covering the red clay.
Don't think I will be back...

Great greens

Greens were great for this early in the season. Fairways also were good for winter conditions. Looking forward to playing again when the grass is growing.

Hidden Gem

Great course played many times and wish the state would run coral management off, they tend to price the course like south Florida, and the junior golfer rates used to be $5 walking until 18 yrs of age and now it is $14 plus. how do you get growth by that type of pricing structure.... The course is fun and the greens are perfect and true.

Long drive but worth it!

Decided to get a change of scenery and had a great deal on a tee time. This course was super nice and had a very friendly staff. It was not crowded at all. The course was moderately challenging due to the natural habitats of tall grass/rough and water on numerous holes. Would play here again when I have to time to drive 1 hr.

Excellent greens

Great course, hidden in southern Ga state park. Course is maintained very well but in need of sand in the bunkers. The staff is very friendly and the course isn't busy. I played 13 & 17 Sept at 8 a.m. in 3/31/2 hours. You must play here if you're in the area.

Surprisingly great for the location

This is one of the better-maintained courses I have played. It is surprising because it is a state course, and a little out of the way. It is a true links experience, with plenty of fairway bunkers. The greens are well protected, so don't think you will be running any shots up. They had 2 inches of rain last night, but the course drained well, except for the bunkers. The greens were some of the slowest I have ever played, which I am not used to. I left 5 strokes on the slow greens. However, they were very well-maintained. Everything was great, including the range. If this course was closer to home I would be a regular.

Excellent Course!

I drive an hour to play this course on a regular basis due to the excellent course conditions. The greens are super smooth and always in outstanding condition. Course is never very busy. Staff is excellent. Practice green, short game area and driving range are in great shape too. Take the time to go and play this course. Make a day of it and get two rounds in with ease. The par 5 18th is one of the best closing holes around!

18 is the best closing hole! I have it tattooed on my shoulder in remembrance of my father who just loved this course! Love that hole!

Great course at a great price

This is my home course. It is always in very good shape. This spring has been cooler than usual, so the fairways are a bit hard, but they will be great in a few weeks...the greens are perfect. It is a very fun course, with several links-style holes, a couple of reachable par fives, and a few sharp dog legs. Overall, it's interesting, but not all that hard. They keep the course in great shape year-round, the driving range has good rates, they have an excellent putting and chipping practice area, and the course is never crowded in the afternoon. Fun, fun course, and through GolfNow, it is a great deal. Even at the course, riding for $25 is a pretty good bargain for this area, where there are very few good courses.
