Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club

Played Friday, Saturday and Sunday in mid to late September, 2026. Driving in, the course looked beautiful. We stayed on site in a 2 bedroom cabin for 4 golfers with one bathroom. Ugh.

the road to the course was lined on both sides with crepe myrtles in bloom. Wow-just like Augusta with flowers.

The staff was awesome. It consisted of a nice young man behind the counter. When the swarms of gnats hit us and went up our noses and into our eyes as we tried to putt, He was ready with the hand cleaner, goop tp apply behind our ears and anyplace else one dared to put it. It worked for 15 minutes. He said we just have to get used to it and he was spot on.

The course was very green and well nourished with water from the sprinklers. We played the ball up because not one of our single digit handicappers would have broken 90 if we played it down. The fairways and tees were so long it was impossible to hit a good shot unless the ball was teed up high and you didn't hit it too high on the face.

I asked the nice employee why they did not cut the grass and he did not know.

It was a beautiful resort, but it needs someone to cut the grass.

The greens were reasonable for a public course and a state park. We will not be back

Every year it is always the same problem. Mid to late summer they can’t keep the rough cut. The rough is US Open deep. Not sure why. They have worked on greens and Traps but the rough is the problem and they keep shrinking the size of the greens. They do have nice new carts. I recommend the course but maybe wait to the end of Sept. Maybe they cue will cut the rough.

I live in the area but as we are in the process of moving to TN, I have allowed my country club membership to lapse. This course, condition wise is as well maintained as my former private course. And a $60 a round for a weekday game, actually less due to a senior discount, it was very reasonable. They have on-line Tee times which makes reservations easy and quick.

What a hidden Gem this course is!! Tee Boxes, Faiways and greens are Absolutely Fantastic!!

Beautiful Ga scenery amongst the pines. Wide fairways lead to narrow greens. Challenging tee boxes distances and layout. My only complaint were the gnats....lol!!! Off didnt work for me. Friendly fellow golfers and staff. Thanks for a great experience. I will be back

I have played a wide range of different courses across the country. At different price points. For the money this is one of the best golf experiences I’ve come across. The course literally could not be in better shape. Greens are a tad slow if I wanted to nitpick something. If you are in the area or passing through as I was, you absolutely need to check out this place.

At $60 per 18 holes you would expect the bunker the have sand in them. Most bunkers are currently nothing but red clay.

The course is out of the way and rough signage to find it. The map will take you to the resort hotel - but the course is a separate location.

Course is great, staff is solid, range could use some love. But outside that - recommend.

Everything was fine until our 3 some caught up to 8 guys playing in front of us. After about 2 holes we reached a par 3 and they let us play through. This was on a Friday morning. The course was nice and the staff did tell us that there was a fivesome that we may run into but I guess that 3 others joined them somewhere on the course.

Last year at this time were spotty. Now they are green and plush.

However they are reducing size of greens. Short term okay but they really need to cut them original size.

If you are a "pro" then you may not consider this a nice course but for the average weekend golfer it sets up really good. It's just the right amount of difficult but still not overwhelmingly tough. When we arrived we were told the course was very busy and expect the pace of play to be slow but that didn't prove out to be correct. We didn't have to wait to tee off on any of the 18 holes and even though there were others playing we were never right up on anyone and no one was right up on us. We had a great afternoon here.

Have played this course dozens of times and this is the best condition the greeens have ever been in (for this time of the year), Kudos to the maintenance staff.

Fairways were more like rough. Cool views but you’re in the middle of nowhere, hard to find the course. I liked the privacy though. Would only play this again if the fairways were better
