Delivers as always

This course is fun. It tests you a lot but is forgiving as well. Play here often and will continue to play here.

Worth the drive

This course is worth the drive. Lake views on many holes reminds me of Lanier Islands.

FANTASTIC COURSE

This was one of the nicest courses I have played on. Not a weed in the fairway. The greens were perfect and the beauty of the surroundings were incredible. I would guess that eight holes are on the water. All I can say is I will be back, I highly recommend this course.

Keep it in the fairway!

Beautiful course, challenging yet fair on a rather warm October day. Highly recommend playing when you can...better and less crowded during the week.

Love it here.

We have came here several times and for less than $60 it’s the best course around. Requires a lot of attention and smart decisions. Always clean and the staff is a real plus. Will play it until they run us off.

Best course for the money.

I have to say I have played this course 3 times and I have to say it’s the best course for the money. It’s always clean and well maintained. Back nine is beautiful on the water. Will be my favorite course from now on.

Beautiful course, unnecessary slow play

The course is beautiful, plenty of open fairways, elevation changes and several holes along the lake are picturesque. However, no starter or ranger on the course and one slow group had three groups backed up behind them for twelve holes.

Finders keepers I guess

On my way home realized I left a box of tp5 balls in the back of the cart. Called the club house maybe 15 minutes after I left to ask them to get the balls and I'd pick them up next time I played. Magically, they disappeared. Not sure if another golfer took them before the cart personnel could take the cart to clean or if one of said personnel jacked 50$ worth of new balls. Either way it's a bummer.

Great layout

This is a nice course great layout around lake Russellwith no houses on the course. Inside Georgia State Park. The fairways are nice and the tee boxes. Great course layout. My only complaint is the greens both times i played the course they had too much sand on them and grass was like putting on shag carpet. If they get the greens right this will be a fantastic course to play. The greens was my reason for four stars instead of five.
