A great day of golfing!

Had a Friday to play golf and chose Lake Blackshear Golf. Although our area has been drenched with torrential rain, the greens, fairways and rough were in great shape. The greens were in awesome shape and rolled true. A very challenging, very scenic and very fun course.

Very enjoyable

My wife and I played the course to celebrate our 52nd anniversary. Course has a nice layout with adequate water, plenty of sand, nice greens. Sand traps were wet or full of water due to previous day rain. We stayed at a very nice Best Western in Cordele -- but also have stayed at the Lake Blackshear Resort. Both are super -- one of our favorite and economical getaways.

Course was OK

The course was in about the best shape I’ve seen in 3-4 years. I will say that most sand traps were terrible.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave Lake Blackshear a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars due to the conditions of the bunkers, but will work to make improvements we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.

Awesome Golf Course in Southern Georgia

I have been playing here for the past couple of years and I always look forward when in Cordele to play a few rounds here. It is an excellent and well maintained Golf Course. Some holes can be challenging and some holes can be downright difficult. The pace of play is excellent and I love playing this course. I have both walked and taken a cart. It is much easier with a cart but i do love walking when i get the chance. Give this course a shot when in the area. You will love it.

Great course

I was in the area on business and found this gem on GolfNow. Course has a great layout. A good mix of tight and fairly open fairways. Greens are really small compared to what I’m used to playing, but I prefer small greens. My only complaint of the course would be that greens were slow and the fairways were hairy, but perhaps weather hadn’t allowed mowing in a day or two. If this course were close to home, I’d play it every week.

Important note: If you’re relying on the “map it” link in the Golfnow confirmation email to get to the course , it does NOT take you to the course, but to a neighborhood that is 9 miles away.

Great time to play Lake Blackshear

Played this course two weeks after Hurricane Michael impacted Cordele with 100+ mph winds. Superintendent and staff are to be commended for a superb recovery effort. The course has been cleared of downed trees and branches, still a few limbs in the wooded areas. Fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Roughs are thick and fringes are well defined. Tee boxes and sand traps need a little attention. Pace of play was great and clubhouse staff were helpful.
