Good time
Excellent experience. My grandson and I really enjoyed the course !
Very Fun and Great Value
This was my first time playing Brazell’s Creek. I really enjoyed the course and the layout and the variety of holes and the total difference between the front nine and the back nine.
The course is a tale of two nines! Front nine is a traditional southern course layout with water, large oak and pine trees lining the fairways, etc. The back nine is totally different and is a links style course. Almost not a tree at all on the back nine. Two very fun and different nine hole courses for one price!
Great golf and an amazing value for the money!
Course is very well kept and maintained. The great golf and layout get for a VERY reasonable price makes Brazell’s Creek an EXCELLENT value. The worst part was that the greens were quite slow versus what I am used to playing. Also, make sure to take plenty of bug spray. The bugs are crazy thick and relentless. If you do not have bug spray, you will definitely regret not taking any with you.
I was also amazed how those playing the course have very little, to no regards for the etiquette of golf (drive their carts right up next to the greens, park their carts right next to the tee boxes (especially on the back nine), at least four different fivesome playing together, driving the carts wherever you want with no regard for the cart paths or signs stating to “stay out of natural areas”. I did not see a ranger, so it seems locals do what they want. This is a Georgia State Park course. Course was in very good condition. I will definitely be back to play again if I am in the area.
GREENS WERE AMAZING
DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, THIS COURSE REMAINED OPEN WITH A FEW COURSE MODIFICATIONS TO ENSURE SAFETY FOR ALL. THIS INCLUDED PROVIDING HAND SANITIZER, CLEANING SUPPLIES FOR CARTS, AND PULLING THE FLAG PINS SO SO THAT NO ONE HAD TO POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATE THEMSELVES. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY, AS ALWAYS. OVERALL HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE. ROB, DAWN, AND THE REST OF THE STAFF DO A GREAT JOB KEEPING ME AND MY PLAYING PARTNERS WANTING TO COME BACK.
This is truly a hidden gem. Play the first nine and get a big surprise on back nine. Would recommend to all golfers.
Great Course with very friendly staff
Had a great time playing this course. Always very helpful staff. Definitely recommend it if you’re in the area. Great value too!
Staff
The staff needs a fire lit under her. It takes forever to simply just pay and get out. There was a line almost out of the door waiting to pay and all when I went . Everyone was talking about how ridiculous it was. And this wasn’t just that day because we have been multiple times to play and it’s the same. If it wasn’t so close and we had our own course then that course would definitely struggle to get players to play.
However, the course and everything else was great.
Golf and camping
This is a surprisingly nice course considering it's inside a state park and run the state of Ga. I will definitely be coming back with the family and possibly having some reunions here. They have cabins, and RV park, and a traditional camp ground.
Pleasantly Surprised
We played a round while camping and thoroughly enjoyed it. Course is well kept and maintained, perhaps helps to be in a state park. We plan to return for a weekend in June for a guys golf weekend. They offer nice, reasonable packages.
State Park Fun
It is a tale of two courses! Front nine is a traditional southern course layout. Beautiful old pines and hardwoods line the fairways! The back nine looks more like an old links course. Two courses for one price!
Great golf for the money!
Cold and windy
Played back nine first. Wo!!! Wind was kicking. Tough day. Greens were mowed and the color a dark emerald green. Very nice putting and looks. Front was still wet and CPO. Still dont know what club to use off the tee on #7. Overall nice day. Great value....
Different.....
Overall after 10 inches of rain in 2 days. Just to play was good. Front was cpo..pretty wet but playable. Saw a recent review with golfers doing what ever they want, happened this day too. A fivesome not complying to the rules ridind all over. Pink shirt kid you know who you are. Saw donot tracks on #9 fairway. No ranger so it seems locals do what they want. The back was open and dry but again was behind 5 carts with 7 people. Little kids included. Could be really nice if they had the means to see the rules of golf were inforced. State Park course.....is what it is. Course was in good shape..surprised. Koodos to greens keepers having to go behind people that don't respect your course or the rules of golf.
Run amock
This course allows 5 golfers in a group, and 6 golfers in a group (at least the day I was there they did). Also, once you pay your greens fee you can start on the first hole or you can start on the 10th, who cares. Imagine being the first group off on 1 then make the turn only to find yourself having to wait in line to tee off on 10. This isn't how it's done. You can reserve a tee time if you wish, but don't waste your time....there's no such thing here.
Great course, great value
Greens were just aerated so they were a little bumpy but overall, in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways, are in great shape. Very fun course to play. Front 9 is tight and requires some shot shaping. Back 9 looks like you are on an entirely different course. Wide open, so grab your driver and let it rip.
Great course
Got a great deal on 2 rounds of play only to show up and discover lower prices because the greens had been aerated. We played at the lower price on Friday and again during our scheduled tee time. Great course. Lots of fun!
Decent
Two courses in one, traditional front nine, links type back nine. Not very difficult to play.
