Nice Greens and Layout but.

Great layout and greens.

Nice gps in carts.

Course was a bit wet and had to stay on cart path which slowed down the pace but there wasn’t a lot of back to back tee times.

Downsides I would say is limited cell phone towers and reception. If you plan on using any tracking apps it might not work.

Also the course is in the middle of no where. So for most people it might be a long drive.

Tops in the area

The greens, tee boxes, and fairways were incredible. I imagine the recent rain has help but man were they spot on all 18 holes. Tough and challenging course. Tons of shade on a hot day. Pace of play was perfect. No one really close until we caught up with a group on 18 and no one remotely close behind to push us. Just a perfect day of golf except for my score lol. One of my favorite courses even though its an hour away.

Great Public Course

This is a well-managed public course. It feels like you are in a private course. The layout and green conditions are great. The only thing is this course need better fairways. We had to play the winter rule that you can move your ball in the fairway. Maybe a shower room as well.

Course is in great shape

This course is a gem, well worth the drive. Greens are the best we have played all year. The play was slow today but normally it’s good. The best state course in GA and the staff is awesome, the views of the lake on the back side are fantastic.

Room for Improvement

The staff are friendly and welcoming…the course is great and the greens are in great condition. Sadly, the pace of play is abysmal. They need a ranger on busy days to help with pace of play. This shouldn’t be an 5-5.5 hour round ever. Also, no one is refilling the coolers on the course. Every cooler on the back was empty. On 90* days, do better.
