Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club

booked thru GolfNow and saved a ton of $ ... great value for 18 holes with a cart ! ... course was in good shape... played at 09:10 in the morning.... pretty much had the course to ourselves ... played 18 in just over 3 hours...

Over the past 20 years I have played this course over 150 times. The course is an excellent layout and used to be in average to great shape with a competent staff. Currently the fairways are bone dry, almost no grass, especially on the tee boxes. Greens are the only factor worth consideration. My tee time was 12:00 and was told a 20 minute delay, no real problem . However they allowed groups of five and six to play, which resulted in a five hour plus round. Eveident they over booked, no ranger on course to assist, leaving me with a very unsatisfactory round. They were many others complaining as well. Truly a terrible experience on a course I have enjoyed for many years.

I played this course on a beautiful Sunday. Before playing, I had a lesson with the Club Pro, Jim Bishop. It was a fantastic lesson as he added 60 yards to my distance in under an hour and sent me home with a toolbox of useful drills. The staff was extremely friendly and fit me in on a busy Sunday without a reserved tee time. The course was nice and the greens were well kept. The front 9 is a little easier than the back 9 but both have some challenging holes and some forgiving ones. I highly recommend because of both the staff and the course.

Day was a little windy at the 2 PM start but got better by the second 9. Enjoy the layout of this course. Fairways still brown but in good shape. Greens were full and in good shape although a little slower and longer cut than normal. Love this course and will be back.

Beautiful course. Challenging but not too much. Rough is tough to get out of but I'm used to playing up north. Will definitely play here again.

We played 3 rounds in 3days. Had a great experience. Could not believe how nice the course was and how little play it received the 3 days we were their. Could not imagine a better experience for our family weekend. The value was unbelievable compared to other places we have played in recent years. Would definitely go back. Only draw back is it is not near a major city.

I've played Veteran's several times. It seems to modulate from Excellent to Fair. This time the green's were very bad - not a lot of grass (in fact I would say they are losing them) and what grass was there was pretty tall - making putting a joke. In fact we started just taking an auto two putt. Lot of grass clipping on and around the fairways - but probably to be expected with all the rain we have been getting in South GA.

The course was one of my fav's. but the greens have become just terrible. I really hope they fix them, ireally like to play there.

EVERYTHING WAS GREAT EXCEPT THE GREENS THEY WERE VERY BAD . GREAT LAYOUT I HAVE PLAYED THIS COURSE MANY TIMES.

BUT THE GREENS ARE JUST TERRIBLE THEY NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP. IF NOT I WILL GO BACK.

Everything was good but greens. Sanded and not rolled out. Made putting difficult.

Absolutely amazing golf course. Only negative is the greens being in transition from winter to summer grass. Tees, fairways, approaches even the rough is in excellent shape and for a course suffering drought conditions that is saying something. The Pro and his staff were top notch. Even gave me the veteran rate and refunded difference between rack rate ( which I paid up front) and vets. Except for the greens, one of the finest courses I've played in Ga. I look forward to coming back when greens grow in.

Warm overcast morning. Rain due in earily afternoon. No one on the course. Mid 70's.

Course tight on approach shots. Greens in great shape, mild undulation but rolled true.

Starter and greens crews friendly, played in two hours 10 min.

Course reminded me of tracks in western PA, tree lined, side, up and down hilled.

Near Lake Blacksheat GA. Worth the time went fishing after.

70s with low humidity and a light breeze: let's play 36! GA Veterans is a course anyone can play and enjoy. Water, bunkers, tiered greens, rolling terrain that often doesn't leave a level lie, and all at a good rate can't be beat. Course was in good condition overall although damp in some places: Exception: greens were hard and not real smooth. Fivesomes seem common, but they seemed to move along. Not much water on the course. (And $0.50 for a cup w/ ice?)

Would definitely play here again and urge others to do so!

Course has a variety of holes that easy and challenging.

I recently stayed at the resort and had a package for each night I stayed I received a free round of golf, which was already a good deal. The course is one I will definitely want to venture back to. The first day we played in the rain, and it was amazing to see how well the course drained. I am a huge fan of Dennis Griffith's designs, and this shotmakers course was no exception. Overall a great value; the state park courses are always a good bet!

Makes for a good day of golf if you are in control of your game.
