Very nice

Where ti start. Ut was 90 degrees course was dry and they still had kost of rhe par 4's cart path only ridiculous i can understand rhe par 3. Understand wanti g to eep the course nice but that is a little to much we both have bas knees and it is hard to have to walk 100 yards to the green up hill o am sure this is going to get alot of nasty remarks. We ask about it beimg cart path only to be told the cart would let you know. That being said almost all the par 4's were cart path only. For that amount of money you should be able to drive to your ball. We like the course all the concessions were included for the exception of alcohol. Would we play agian only if tou can drive to your ball its a waste to pay for cart when you cant use it.

Fantastic time

I played here on a Saturday by myself. I arrived 1 1/2 hours early to get warmed up. Before I get to the course review I must say that every single person I came in contact with that works is was so friendly and very helpful. That alone will have me coming back. The course is going to challenge you. It is short. I normally play from the whites but I played the blues. There are numerous shots that need to carry 200 yds over water. The views through out this course are stunning. The course is in fantastic condition. I will be back. Also breakfast you get a great biscuit and for lunch there are Blimbie subs and Nathan hotdogs.

Beautiful golf course and view fantastic

Course condition was maintained very well but sometimes can get annoying because of cart path only.

Not worth the price

The course is 6500 from the tips and plays really short and just a funky layout all together

Good Condition for Very Early Spring

The course is in decent shape, but it hasn't greened up yet. I was surprised there were only 3-4 holes that were cart path only. They have good drainage!

I enjoy the biscuits at breakfast. They were running a little late, but brought them out to us on the course.

Great Day on the Lake

One of the most scenic and beautiful courses in Georgia. Course is in full winter conditions and unfortunately because of rain previously it was cart path only (tough walk as very hilly). This course is extremely challenging but overall an extremely fun course where you use every club. Greens are in great shape and roll fast, bunkers are full of sand, you can see they have laid sod in any areas struggling; this course should be in amazing shape in the coming weeks. Staff was incredible and really appreciate the starter getting my group out in front of an outing, as it saved us lots of time! I will be back for sure

Absolutely gorgeous and challenging golf course

Though it might seem a bit expensive to some golfers, the friendliness of the staff, the beauty of the surroundings, and the challenges of the course are alone worth visiting! Add to this, free, food, and drinks, a great driving range with balls at no charge and fantastic carts and equipment!
