Enjoyed this course

This was our first time playing this course. Enjoyed the layout, course both fairways and greens in very good condition. We did find ourselves always waiting for the group ahead and the group behind us was always at our tail.

So other than the waiting this course was well worth playing and I'd recommend it to others.

Very active and well maintained course but needs more water and restrooms. Overall 4 out of five.

Bad value for current condition

The course is in rough shape as it’s still young. However, with a recently renovated course that is supposed to be their top course they left a lot to be desired. The cart paths were terrible. Signage is terrible. Rough fairways, tee boxes and greens that aren’t fully developed is understandable but the rest of the course should have been pristine. The views and scenery at the course left me a bit disappointed. The layout is nice. They have no business charging full price ($145) until they either finish the renovation or it’s in better shape.

No great shape.

After seeing the other 2 courses on the property the fairways and green conditions on Indian Mound were very disappointing. The other courses looked pristine. We had the course to ourselves basically so pace of play was good. I liked the layout.

A dog track not a golf course. Run far away

The course is in abysmal shape. The greens are terrible with holes dug in them by some animals. I was told by one person there armadillos and I believe it. There are also holes in the fairways. Their ankle brake holes too, so beware you could easily break your ankle in one of those armadillo holes. This course needs to close down for at least 3 to 4 months and have the staff do some miracle work on it or else you’ll just be disappointed and crying at the end of the day.

I was actually speaking with someone that had played there and said you should write honest review and I said that I would.

Play somewhere else this is a dog track

Of course isn’t about the worst condition. Possible greens are horrible with holes in them dug by animals probably armadillos. The grass on the fairway is dead mostly. I recommend that you close this course and start over or at least give it a good makeover worth 3 to 5 months. If you play this, you’re wasting your time and your money.

Course Good for Hot Deal Price

We play Indian Mound frequently when staying nearby. The course--which is scheduled to be redone this summer--isn't is the condition that we're accustomed to at our home course, but for the price of a GN Hot Deal, we can overlook the bare spots. For this round, pace of play was excellent, with no one behind us and only a twosome ahead of us.

You Get What You Pay For

We play Indian mound frequently when visiting in the spring and fall because one of us is a beginner and the price is right. with a GN pass. However, with that, we sometimes encounter issues with the pace of play; I would never consider playing on a weekend because of this.. It's the luck of the draw; we completed this round in 3.5 hours, with only slight backups with two separate singles ahead of us. The next day, at the same time of day, the club ran out of golf carts and balls at the driving range in early afternoon. This course needs maintenance; .The "rough" is primarily dirt and roots and some tee boxes have no turf whatsoever. The GPS on the carts, while a nice perk, is very frustrating; During this round, I actually had the cart lock up ON a cart parth. We will be choosing the newly redone courses like Pine Lakes for the remainder of our stay here. Indian Mound, of course, is much flatter than what we are used to up north and there is virtually no rough, so only a few clubs required to play.

Oh The Potential!

I realize the course is relatively new but if this course does not get some TLC soon it will go down hill.We played behind a best ball scramble, so it was slow, expected. Tee boxes were so hard we could barely get tees in. The fairways were equally hard and sparse of turf. Greens were very good, definitely the high point of round, If you get a super hot deal, then go for it, but the rack rate is way too high! The layout is good but course needs some help!

Great greens

The greens were smooth and fast. Loved them. Some tee boxes and fairways had just a few rough spots but the course is in great shape. Many different holes require different types of shots. Lots of fun.

Exceptional course

Overall, everything about this course was just superb from start to finish. Most places in SE Georgia are fighting off crab grass and just dead grass in general. These fairways were so clean and cut just perfect height. Greens were so cared for and had some character to them. Not an overall hard course but definitely beautiful for sure. Highly recommend even if paying full price. I paid for a hot time on GolfNow and that made it an even better experience.

Hmm

I have played Great Dunes three times, and the new routing is terrific. Typically, the pace of play is reasonable. Yesterday, we reserved three tee times, the cost well over $400, and without notice in late morning the pro shop closed the range. We were disappointed not to be able to warm up ahead of our tee time, during the 40 minutes we waited for our tee time, a total of 8 players were on the range. This time the pace of play was very slow. After playing for four hours, we were on hole 14 along with two other groups, and so we just drove in and called it a day.

Maybe just had bad luck that day.

Unexpectedly poor service

Great Dunes, you fell short of my expectations. Despite asking about drink options, we were unable to get refreshments on the course. Improvement is needed in communication and amenities. I specifically asked at the pro shop about drink carts. I was told one was making rounds and I was told there was a drink hut at the turn. None of that is true!!!! I would have prepared accordingly had I known the truth. We tried ordering from cart, feature not available. We tried calling the clubhouse, wrong number. Tried another number listed and no answer. Course is great, customer service is terrible. It’s my option that when you pay a certain amount to play golf, you should not have to worry about getting assistance in any form, customer service or refreshments.
