Greens have a fungus or disease in them, many with dead areas. Shame with all the turf farms close to the course.
Great course for slow pace
Great course for a nice relaxed slow pace. Took my wife out for her first course and was nice and open for beginners but also challenging for the low handicap.
The course was good. I booked online and was greeted by a very friendly staff member who was efficient and kind. She was helpful and got us on the course on time and we all had a great time other than golfers who were pushing us from behind. The course also looked like it had been aerated recently but upon further inspection we think it was just ants or some sort of burrowing bug.
The course, especially bunkers and greens, need lots of attention. Practice green was in awful condition. Back 9 greens are in better shape than the front . I have played this course quite a bit over the last 25 years, and this may be the worst I’ve seen them. The value for the money spent is not worth it when putting is such a key factor in scoring, playability and enjoyment.
1st of time experience
I was kind of blown away with the quality of the course and the staff friendliness. I was treated like a regular. I would gladly go back and in fact I am going back in a month and a half on a golf trip. If you get a chance come and play. Course layout was well thought out. Few little problems with thin greens but it has been unseasonably hot in Georgia this summer. Take a break and get away to Lake Blackshear and the Veterans Memorial course. It was amazing!!
Maintenance
When we played on Sunday, the tee boxes, fairways and fringes were in need of a good cutting, the greens were not in good condition. This course has such great potential if upkeep is maintained.
Great course design - in terrible shape currently
Before I say something about the current status of the course, let me say this. I love this course and love the design/layout. It’s a great place to play golf normally
However, the current status of the course is terrible. Half if not most of the greens are in TERRIBLE shape, the fairway grass is so thick, it’s a clubhead deep. We literally lost two balls in the fairway it was so thick. The rough is tough, but makes it fun. The tees need to be cut much lower, because the grass is so thick around the tees.
Overall a great course, it just needs a lot of work
Greens are BAD
Course was very wet, greens were very bad, had aeration holes,no sand and black algea.
Late Afternoon Round
As always, the course was in good condition and the price was good for a 2:40pm teetime. Played as a single and was able to get all 19s in. I will pay again.
Fairways greens and tee boxes are in great shape. Probably need to get a clean up crew and get all the pine cones and brush off the side of the fairways it’s a little bit too thick. Other than that was awesome
Great Golf Course!
Love playing there! Greens and fairways are always "green" and well kept! Beautiful, scenic looking fairways Roughs could use a little more upkeep, but we love the course! Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this course for all levels of golfers!
Disappointing
Played here several times in the past. It’s now in poor condition- weeds all over the fairways and greens in bad shape
Great golf
The course was very well laid out, loved the paved cartpath to get to each hole ( first time playing course).
Well maintained manicured course.
