The course needs range marshals,

Awful pace of play.The group in front of us would not pull their club out of the bag until other player was finished with his shot. A walking 2some showed up from nowhere on hole 12 with a kid that that hit the ball maybe 15 yards at a time. The man with him let him play the entire hole. Thank god they quit on hole 15. Then we caught up with the terribly slow group again still 17. I don't think I will ever go back

Hello, Earl. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Little Ocmulgee At Wallace Adams Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Great course - Angry staff

If the staff was 1/10 as good as the course I would have given 5 stars. This normally doesn't bother me. However, for some reason the staff at this course has been like this for years. They act like they would rather you be somewhere else. Not all of them, there are some very nice ones.

The course itself is one of the best if not the best south of Atlanta.

Great course with some challenges. Really liked the elevation difference on the holes. Course was dry after all the rain we had and pace of play was great no waiting on slower groups. We had a group of 3 and played in under 4 hours.

One of best ever

I have been fortunate enough to play on courses from coast to coast. I have paid a lot of money to play on courses that were not as nice as this one. WONDERFUL!

Great Value

The course was in great shape for this time of year. The greens were very good while the fairways and tee boxes had green grass. I will take my golfing group to play there.

Empty and quiet

Thursday morning At 10am, had the place to myself. First time I really enjoyed playing alone. It was like fishing on a quiet private lake, peace and tranquility. I hit it straight and enjoyed a little down time. I think this place gets crowded now and then, but this morning was the break I needed. Great shape for the money.

One of the best deals around

Very much enjoy this course. It’s very well maintained and the environment is very laid back. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and you’re guaranteed to have a great time. Just watch the narrow fairways on a few of the holes. Straight is better than far in many cases.

Problem at the golf course

We were not able to play because the course would not honor our reservation. They indicated that your company was not suppose to offer an 8am tee time for that price. Please let me know how will my credit card be credited

Nice place to play

Enjoy playing this course every time. Hot, but that is a given in August. Greens were in great shape. A few of the fairways have some bare spots.

Hidden gem

This course is a hidden gem. At 5300 for women and 6300+ or 6600+ for the men, the course plays long and has many challenging holes. Terrain is hilly, and many holes are tight, requiring accurate shots. Greens were a bit slow and took some adjusting to, but conditions were very good overall. Fairways and tee boxes had some bare spots, but overall were plenty adequate for the price.

Great Course - Below Average Conditions

I have played Little Ocmulgee several times. Today, the conditions on the front nine were the worst I have ever seen at the course. The back nine, the conditions were like they usually are (great, lush, thick grass, etc.).

The course is a tale of two nines. The front nine has very tough conditions (fairways have lots and lots of bare spots with no grass, tee boxes have lots of dead areas with no grass, etc.) The back nine is awesome with great conditions.

Make sure to take some bug spray as the gnats are crazy thick and VERY, VERY pesky and persistent. )

The staff is VERY friendly and happy to help. I love the course, I just wish the conditions on the front nine were much better and similar to the back nine.

I highly recommend the course. It is the best golf value anywhere I have played. The course is VERY challenging with long par threes, long par 4's lots of trees which guards the greens and fairways.

If you get a chance, go play the course, just play the back nine twice and skip the front nine.

The greens were shaggy and were much slower than they normally run. However, the views of the wildlife are great (deer, turtles, wild turkeys, etc.)
