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.

Played last Friday and could not believe how well conditioned a course could be that costs $30 to play. Great compliments to the staff.

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.

Course is over maintained, rough is cut so often that ball settles to dirt making bad lie guaranteed.

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.

Dear Staff,

This is not the review that I gave. Something went wrong! How do I change it? The course, staff, and golf was excellent! I loved everything about the course. Please let me know on how to change the ratings..... I rate the entire facility a 5 star.

You just gotta go

I am fortunate enough to have played may, many rounds of golf throughout the SE as well as several rounds in other parts of the country. I can honestly say i think this is one of the best anywhere. The layout is great and the course conditions are the same every single time, year after year. It is great.

If this course was located close to a large city it would easily be a hundred bucks or more. Love it.
