Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club

Overall not a positive experience. It seems that there were several individuals that stayed at the resort for some days before Sunday, and they were on the course for the last day of their visit. There were more than one 5-some on the course, and I was delayed two different times to the point that I left the course after playing 9 holes. I have played here before and thoroughly enjoyed the course. The course right now is very wet and made driving on the fairways, impossible. The greens are not in the best of shape, with some evidence of winter kill.

My friends had raved about this place, especially for the quality of golf course you get for the money, and I was not dissappointed. For $23 including cart for 18 holes you cannot beat the value for the quality and condition of this golf course. Course was pretty full, but once we pairedup with the twosome in front of us we had no issues with pace of play. Finished in 4 hours. I am not local to this town, but the back nine was very wet, so they must have had a ton of rain recently. It was really the only thing that made this experience less than perfect. Definite must play though, especially if you are on a serious budget, like me, and like to play great golf courses. I hopefully will return soon and often.

Played here back to back days while spending one night at The Veterans State Park. The course was in decent shape but there was a lot of room for improvement. The areas just outside the fairways - where I spent a lot of time - left a lot to be desired. There were overgrown shrubs, weeds, limbs, sticks just off the rough. Just not very well maintained. The tees and greens were good for the most part, however, wild grass was creeping in on some of the greens. Some traps were waste areas that had not been manicured. The clubhouse bath had no soap on either day we played. Some ball washers were dry. Finally, on the 12th tee our cart ran out of gas. Had to ride back to the clubhouse with playing partner and get another cart. Was told they were sorry, that they fill the carts with gas every Thursday and must have missed this one. As a side note, this was a last minute golf destination for me and my regular playing partners. We were supposed to go to Santee, SC but canceled due flooding problems.

Although a little wet from recent rains course in good shape from tee to green. Staff went out of way to accommodate our 9 men church outing A good course for all skill levels.

The staff is very nice and friendly. The course is a fun layout with several holes along water and with fun caries over water and ravines. However the grass in the fairways was long (looked as if it had not been mowed in a week), greens were VERY slow. Many places around the course with mud and water in the fairways, in front of the greens, etc. My first time playing and next time, I would try a different course in the area as I have not played any of the courses in the area.

Very nice course, greens ran true and consistent, fairways are the place to play, hard to get out of trouble and score.

Played on Saturday and was amazed of the changes they have made...NEW BUNKERS, NEW CARTS, NEAT AND CLEANED UP from what it was 3 months ago. Greens were rolling pretty decent not to real fast but not slow either. The staff and the golf pro very helpful and went out of their way to explain where everything was.

Greens are looking great, but a little slow
Sand traps need more work.
Good value.
Nice quick round

Veterans is a very challenging course from the tips on tee shots. The overall condition is the only downside with below average course maintenance. Bunkers have been recently overhauled but still slow greens.

Love this course, this is my third year here. I'll be back again.

I play this course often greens are quick and lay of the land makes you think greens will break one way but go the opposite, if you hit in the wooded areas it is difficult to play out of but you shouldn't be in the woods The grounds crew have been correcting drainage issues which is good. The only downfall unplayable bunkers and unmarked irrigation repair on several holes.

Pleasure to view and play this well maintained course.

I really enjoyed playing this course even though I made some mental mistakes. A beautiful course, Excellent conditions, Greens were in GREAT shape, friendly staff. I recommend if visiting South GA, do visit this course for a round of Golf, you will not be disappointed

The staff was friendly the course was in great shape but it rain the day before so some sand traps had poodles of water but except of that it was in great shape.

staff was super friendly, a nice coarse, greens were a little bumpy. but fairways were in great shape. a very good coarse overall.

Fairly wide in spots, I found bunkers more than preferred (wisely placed). Greens & Fairways in top shape -keep it inside 1st cut all the way around. Natural setting w/tall grasses & moderate rough will loose a few balls if not eagle-eyed. It had rained well overnight & bunkers had pooled water. Overall, very enjoyable, easy going course. My 2nd trip, I hope to bring golfing buddies soon. It is South Georgia -bring some bug repellant.

Great layout. Back was more open than front. The fairways were in good shape but the greens were slow.
The gnats were a problem but didn't take away from the beauty.

Have enjoyed all the Ga. State coarses but this was the best golf experience so far. The price was great and we had the place to ourselves early in the A.M. Can't wait to play it again in summer.

It's amaIng to me that the state if Georgia will open such a great track and just let it go to seed. I don't mind natural as long as it is is just not laziness or no money. Bunkers are horrible and big piles of sand but nine in the bunkers. And the range isn't open so you can't even hit balls. C'mon man. For those if us who live in the area it is just a travesty. What a tragic waste if what was a pretty good design.

This is a great course to play and if you like to stay and play it has excellent facilities. Great camping and lodging .
