My Experience

Friendly staff. Excellent course. Had a better back nine than the front nine but, the greens were just fast enough and the overall condition of the course was great!

Good Course

Go every year for Men's Retreat with our church.. always come down and do a 36'er. This is the best I have seen the course. Its always in god shape but this was the best. 23 bucks for 18 with a cart and 20 bucks for replay. Throw in a few more bucks for a few hot dogs waters and sports drinks... You have a fun full day of golf for 50 bucks!

Another winner from the GA State Parks

I made the 90 mile trip to try another state park course, and it was well worth the drive. Little Ocmulgee was in excellent condition and quit the challenge, especially with no course knowledge. The layout includes elevation changes, tight doglegs, and some well protected greens.I really enjoyed the elevation changes,typically playing in the southern, swampy part of the state I'm ususally playing somewhat flat courses. The pace of play was excellent the day we played, teeing off at 10:30 and encountering only one group in front of us (they let us play through). Don't know if thats typical, but it was nice that day. The course isn't long, but there were many tee shots that i had to hit less than driver. Ball position from the tee was critical on many holes, which are doglegs, you really have to stop and think on this course before just blindly grabbing a driver. I believe i coulda shot a little lower if I had more experience there (84 that day). Anyway, I definitely recommend this course to all. Again, with the Golfnow hot deal, one would be out nothing if they make the trip and tee it up.

One of my favorite courses

I first played this course in 2001. I absolutely love this course. It is easy to walk too. It has sand traps, water that has to be carried on certain holes, and elevation changes. Some long holes. The par 3's are fun. A little of everything. I have never seen the course in such beautiful shape. I can't wait to play it again. You should play all the Georgia State courses if you get a chance.

GREAT Price for fun course in Great Condition

Today was the second time I have played this course. I LOVED the course. You cant beat the course for the price. It is the best deal going. I can't believe what good condition they keep the course in given the fact it is located in the middle of pretty much nothing. Make sure to take some bug spray when you play the course, the gnats will drive you crazy. However, the course was in great shape. The greens were in Good condition (a little slow, but not too bad) and the course was super fun. The layout is pretty straight forward with nothing much of a surprise or unexpected. The Spanish Moss hanging from many of the oak trees is very pretty. There was lots of wildlife I saw (deer, turtles, wild turkeys) which made the round even that much better. The fairways were wide and kept very nice. I will definitely be back to play again if I am ever in the area. The course is the best deal for the great conditions and the low greens fees. The course is part of the Georgia State Park system and hence the state is able to keep the price down and yet keep the course in great condition.

Course condition

I play this course 40 to 50 times a year. There has been a change in the course superintendent in the past few weeks and there is a noticeable drop in the condition of the course. I do not know the reason for the change but it has affected the condition of the course.i play the course because I can always count on it being in good to great condition. That is not the case at the present time.

Course

Loved the course and is a great layout. Some tight fairways but that's what makes you think about shots I played by myself and I finish the round in less than three hours other groups let me play through It has some long par 3s

Little Gem

Fair and pleasing layout. No goofy holes. Wide and forgiving. Well maintained by friendly staff. Most greens are large, not a lot of sand. Back 9 is the original 9. A few of the greens were a little thin or damaged, but that really didn't effect puts. It was still winter. This place should look and play fabulously by April. Myself and friends have played this course, off and on, for over 20 years and have never been disappointed.

Nice course but confused on amenities...

So they have signs everywhere that says you cannot bring your own cooler. However, the sandwich shop was closed and they were out of beer. Look I understand controlling your cost but no food and no beer seems unreasonable and a loss to the bottom line. The credit card machine needs three tries to make purchase. The guy checking you in seems to not have it together. He forgot my token for driving range. He didn't quite introduce me even though I told him this was my first time. Couldn't find the bathroom had to go in the woods. Seems like a nightmare but really the course is challenging and awesome. I will only be back if I get the golf now price of $17 with cart. I will bring my own cooler since the tee time is 10:20am and usually play during lunchtime. A sandwich and a beer would be good to have around noon.

Nice course, but.......

Really enjoyed the course; however, pace of play was so ridiculously slow it ruined the round. I was playing in a threesome and we were behind a group of six and they were behind a group of seven! Course was completely backed up by the time we finished. Perhaps a marshall could help with situations like that.
