Great Greens
Greens were in Excellent Condition. A much better deal than Jekyll Island Golf Courses, which have become pricey, even though the Island is supposed to be for “The People of Georgia”.

Hot
I enjoyed playing here. We started at 3:30 pm and as expected it was hot. Had a breeze blowing on the front nine that died down on the back. Pace of play was great

Great facility
They probably play this place once a month, however, I live two hours and 20 minutes away. That being said, I like the golf course that much.

Great course, fun to play,big greens!
This is one of my favorite courses to play in the area. They had recently aerated and sanded the greens so they did not roll quite true like they normally do. And they had gotten about 3 inches of rain yesterday so there was ALOT of standing water, so it was cart path only the whole day.
