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.

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.
