WORTH THE DRIVE
THE COURSE TOOK EXCELLENT PRECAUTIONS FOR COVIT 19. THEY HAVE A SPONGE IN THE HOLE SO YOU DON'T TOUCH THE PIN TO GET THE BALL OUT OF THE HOLE. I LIKED THAT BETTER THAN THE CUP EXTENDED UP OVER THE HOLE. YOU HAD TO CALL TO THE SHOP TO PAY, OR VERIFY YOU PAYMENT, THEN OFF YOU GO.
ABOUT THE COURSE, EXCELLENT LAYOUT FOR MY LIKING. SOME HOLES WERE LONG 390 PLUS,
AND OTHER HOLES WERE 320 OR LESS. WHITE TEES PLAYED 6068. FAIRWAY BUNKERS WELL PLACED, USED ALL MY CLUBS. A FAIR AMOUNT OF DOG LEGS..
IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED HERE BEFORE IT MAY BE CONFUSING ON THIS ONE PARTICULAR HOLe. .I AM AT THE ONE FIFTY MARKER, A FLAG IS INFRONT OF ME 153 AWAY. WRONG FLAG AS THE CORRECT FLAG WAS TO THE RIGHT. GREAT FUN THIS COURSE..
Pleasant
Well maintained layout. It was busy but the pace of play was nice.
good to be back
always like playing laura walker.
course in very good shape with some new
bunkers and old ones reworked.
well worth the drive from jacksonville.
you won't be disappointed.
good time
Enjoyed this round of golf very much. Pace of play was great, course in good condition. There were a couple of rough spots, but all in all in good condition. Look forward to going there again.
Nice layout
Driving range was closed. It was cart path only & rightly so, we had a lot of rain. It was very playable & we had a great time, we’ll be back soon.
Great Greens
The greens are smooth and roll true. The only drawback to the conditions are the dormant conditions, which is not a fault of the course, but a factor. The greens are some of the best in the entire region.
Fun course
This course is always fun and is in good shape for the time of year. Greens are a little bumpy but to be expected with colder weather. Back nine slowed down some but other than that, good pace of play.
Nice course
Course is in great shape for this time of year and pace of play was excellent until we go to 14---not sure what happened but it was terrible. Lady in Pro shop was not very friendly and they seem to not like "golf now" folks....even if the course is not busy and backed up at the first tee they won't let you out early if you're a golf now purchaser....they seem to want to penalize you for buying a cheaper rate by not letting you our early even when they're not busy......makes one think they should stop participating in the discounted rates if they're going to treat golf now purchasers like second class golfers.
Great time.
The course was in awesome shape. There were a few greens that had a few rough spots but that’s to be expected coming into dormancy. The tee boxes were cut nice and the bunkers were o so fluffy. I’ve played here a few times and they have made great changes in the last year. The pace of play is good and it’s an easy but challenging course at the same time.
Okeefenokee
3rd time here.last was feb total improvement.perfect condtions.starter nice.shop nice.tractor greens man.doing circles around telling me hit ball son.not appreciated...son.but what a day with wife.beautiful course
great golf
This was the third time I've played this course and once again it did not disappoint. The course is laid out very well and bunkers, both sand and waste are placed to make you think about your shot. Greens are consistence and require a keen eye to read, fairways have some ululation but nothing extreme. If you want to play a course that you'll need all of your clubs, play this one.
1st time in a long time!
Very nice course, several challenges for average golfer, green speeds were variable but good, overall the course was very well maintained !
Will definitely back and recommend without a doubt!
