Great course

A little bit out in the sticks but a very nice course in terms of the layout of the holes and the condition of the tee boxes, fairways and greens.

Frustrating day

SLOW play due to a group of 5 players more interested in drinking beer and socializing than playing golf. Husband and wife in front of us and behind the fivesome said one guy just walks off the tee box and urinates in view of them on the previous green. Beer cans left all over the course. Staff came out on the back 9 to try and speed up play, but nothing changed. I blame Course Staff for allowing a fivesome to play on a Saturday, especially on a holiday weekend. Law enforcement was in the parking lot as I was leaving. Hopefully they were waiting for the drunks to drive and then pulled them over and arrested them. Do better Arrowhead Pointe/ Georgia State Parks!

Tips

The tips out here are a challenge especially if you do not drive it 280 which most times I do not. But it's fun. Greens were quick. Back side is beautiful! Played here lots and will play lots more. The gentleman working the front is so nice! Could not ask for a better golf getaway. And I do mean getaway. This is golf and nature. No outside noise!

Great Layout

Played the course on Black Friday. Course was full but still played 18 in 4 hours. Good condition, great layout with fantastic views. Only negative was half the course was cart path only with no water or seed in sight. Spent too much time reversing the cart out of fairways not marked off.
