Great course

Beautiful course with a great layout. Very friendly staff. Greens were a little rough and slow due to sanding them is the only reason for four stars on course condition everything else was great.

Good course and challenging

Great staff friendliness. The course is hard for higher handicap. Lots of tree limbs to hit out there ready for balls to lose. Fairways weren’t the best but the greens and bunkers were nice.

Little Ocmulgee gem

Nice layout aerated greens 3 weeks ago pretty well recovered. Good test of golf, longer par 3’s on front some really nice par 4’s. 2 double dogleg par 5’s short but accuracy a must.

Some fairways on front spotty but overall pretty good.

Very friendly gal in shop. If u have not played this one u should and in a few more weeks greens could be quick if they choose to do so.

Best course in this area.

This is by far the best looking course south of Macon. Course gives a good challenge for beginners and veterans alike.

Poor management

I’ve been playing this course for 53 years and it’s in the worst condition I’ve ever seen. They sprayed the fairways and killed the grass, fairways have no landings areas , new greens(2013) are not well maintained.

Very unusual course conditions

Normally this course is in excellent condition.

For some reason the fairways have been severely neglected. The grass hasn’t been fertilized or watered, thus no grass. This is even the case around the greens. You can’t play the ball down at all.

I’m not sure what is going on but this is out of character for this course. Hopefully this will be corrected.

Extremely disappointed

Excellent condition

This and other GA State Park courses have small staffs and reasonable prices, yet the condition of turf is always excellent. This is most evident in their almost always receptive yet fast and true-rolling greens.

True Test

First time playing this course. Pin location on 1st hole was unplayable. Back left on severe slope; otherwise the placements were fair. Could distinguish more between tees. Gold - 6100+, White - 6300+, and Blue - 6500+. Greens rolled well and true. I had the first morning tee time. Staff didn’t arrive to open pro shop 15 minutes before my tee time and then a course employee jumped ahead of me at first tee delaying my tee off. Not the biggest issue but the course employee could have tee off well ahead of me to avoid the delay. Overall great vale and a true test.

Great course

This course is always in great shape. The layout is fun yet challenging. Pace can get a little slow with groups that won’t let you play though but that’s an occasional occurance.

Awesome course

I enjoyed my time at this course. The fairways/greens were well maintained. The pace of play was great early in the morning. In the afternoon it can get busy, but it should be expected for a exceptional course like this.
