Beautiful course, satisfactory conditions

The grass is still dormant. A heavy rain the preview days makes it feel like hitting off a wet carpet. I think I’m going to wait a few weeks before I attempt to play to give the grass a chance to grow in.

Beautiful course

Really enjoy the course. Very challenging unless you know the course well. Play at least 2 times a month there.

Great Track but getting pricey!

One of the top-5 public play courses in metro Atlanta. Very challenging course design requires well targeted shots. Fantastic views of Lake Lanier, and rolling topography.

Lake lanier

Beautiful but difficult

Lots of tee boxes to hit over water

Better to use shorter tees

Great track!

First time I’ve played course and I’d rank in the “top-5” in metro ATL for public play. Challenging course from blue or tips and several “Bay Hill” like 300 yard carry to green if you don’t layup as mere mortals.

Add this one to your list

Beautiful course and challenging. If you have never played this course make sure you add it to your list. Pace was kinda slow today but understandable due to weather the night before.

Thanks for the review! Yes, it can be a little slower than our target when we must go cart path only.
