Course is in great shape tee to Green
A few holes are splotchy but playable
All new carts with GPS makes for a great round
Worth the drive from jax
Out in no where land!
This course is out in the woodlands of Georgia. It’s just on the other side of a State Park. Beautiful settings amongst the Georgia Pines. Very quiet and quaint. Enjoyed playing there!
Good as always
This course is very nice. Some greens don't look good but they all putt very good. Always enjoyable to play.
Great Course In Recovery
This is one of my favorite local courses due to the facilities, layout and conditions. Right now they are recovering from some excess rain which has caused some issues with the greens. They putted reasonably well, but there is water damaged on virtually every green. Expect the course to be in tip top shape in a month or so. And again when it is in top shape it is one of the best course in the Northern Florida/Southern Georgia region.
Awesome Value
Great course in excellent shape given the time of year. Very friendly staff. It checks all the boxes and an awesome value
Peaceful Golf Course
Beautiful property with no houses and all woodlands. It was quiet and peaceful for a busy day. The conditions were surprisingly great Good size greens that are well protected. Many bunkers could use new sand but found most of them playable. The layout was interesting with some short risk reward par 4’s. Carts had GPS. Range was nice and the balls were a few dollars cheaper that I usually pay. For me it was worth the drive from Jacksonville for the price. What a bargain. Go play it.
Nice course layout
Greens need some tending to
Lots of poanna starting to take over
Not one ball washer on whole course
Should have them on each cart
Fairways Ian’s bunkers in good shape
Great course
The greens are very nice and run fast, cart path is nice and not too bumpy. New carts are nice and gps helps a lot with yardage
