Beautiful golf course!
I played this course while camping at General Burnside state park. Absolutely beautiful course! The layout was fun and the course conditions were pristine! Staff was very friendly.
Great Golf Course
Beautiful, picturesque golf course in great shape.
Burnside is great
This course is always in great shape and very playable. We play here every chance we can. Excellent value for the money.
Great Course
Great layout and challenging course. Excellent condition. Recommend. Can't beat the fees for a golf course like this.
Best Course Within 50 miles any direction
This course is always in fantastic shape. No bad lies in the fairways and the rough is usually kept cut at a fair height. For the $, this course is the best within 50 miles in any direction. Next best course would be Dale Hollow state park. Not a long course, but when the pins are tucked, this course will challenge even lower handicap players. Par 3s are the great equalizer on this course. Score well on the par 3s, and you will like your overall score at the end of the day. You will not be disappointed if you tee it up at Burnside.
Burnside golf course
I have played Burnside several times in the last few months. Course is well maintained considering the rainy weather we have been experiencing. Hats off to the park personnel they are always smiling and will help any way they can. Their hospitality makes it easy to come back and play again.
Fantastic Course
This is the best public course I have ever played. Fairways and greens were perfect. Not a long course but definitely not an easy course. It will be hard to find a flat lie. Greens run true. Great staff and cant beat the value. I will playing this course again.
Fun and challenging course
Course is in great shape from tees to fairways to greens. Plenty of trouble to get into play position instead of length, remember it's not how far, it's how many.
great course!
I love playing at burnside. I enjoy everytime and the greens putt so true.
course worth playing
Very well layed out course. fairways wide but undulating requiring good ball placement. Greens in terrific conditions especially in late fall weather. Well designed for a beginner to a weekly player. Scenery of the lake adds to the greatness of this course. A must do for any golfer.
Nice fall day
Course fun to play,par 3's all you want from back tees.
Beautiful course
Enjoyed the first 9 holes so played another 9. Beautiful course - saw lots of wild turkeys.
Great course
Awesome course ! Fairways were awesome and greens were in very good shape !
Very nice course
Played as a single Course was in great shape Need to play this one
great venue
first time playing in about 3 years there. course was excellent tee to green. greens were a little slow, prob due to heat. fairways are perfect. great value to play
the course was great
It's worth the drive, I wish I lived closer, great course
Underated
Greens were recently aerated and a little slow. Bunkers were well groomed and in excellent shape for the amount of rain the area has received. Fairways are wide enough and playable if you get a little crooked. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Deer & wild turkey abound.
Love the layout and openness of this course!!
Always enjoy playing here!! After your round, there are tons of nice places to eat. Put this course on your bucket list!!
Golf outing
Course is in super shape. They have an overzealous ranger or two but overall it's a player!!
Great State Park course
Excellent course, great layout, very fair. Lots of up and down hills. Greens are very good for a public course. Narrow at times with lots of woods.
