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.)

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.

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.
