GA Veterans Memorial 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads, course flow, very beginner friendly, accurate tee signs

Cons:

A few baskets' chains were tangled and couldnt fix them so I think the upkeep may be low, lots of pine branches and pinecones throughout fairways. maybe a little too easy for any experienced player, mosquitos

Other Thoughts:

Has a few holes that are dead straight and lined with pines so it makes for a accurate shot. Hole 17 was the lone high calibur hole on the course.

Pros:

*Easy to find, just 5 miles from the interstate, located in nice a state park
*Great variety of shots required -- straight holes, hard right turns, hard left turns, long & open, tight & wooded
*2 holes are great tunnel shots with a 15' wide fairway flanked by pine trees on both sides
*Concrete teepads & innova bogey band baskets
*Plenty of shade -- much needed in this part of the state!

Cons:

*One set of teepads, one set of baskets....could be drastically improved by adding alternate teepads - makes it a tough course for beginner/intermediate level, fun for advanced level, and shreddable for pro
*Posted pars are off base -- IMHO there is only one par 4, listed as a par 5 (#17 @ 560 ft)
*As Blang mentioned, no elevation changes -- extremely flat -- terrain & foliage on holes get monotonous
*A couple of the holes are missing fairways (hole 4 or 5 is a throw & hope you don't hit a tree type; 18 has no fairway)

Other Thoughts:

Blang's review is right on the money for this course. It's a fun beginner/intermediate course set in a south GA pine forest with a couple of open holes (3 open, 15 wooded). Ants & bugs were present, and my legs were covered in hundreds of small black seeds? after playing.

I paid to enter (voluntarily) but not to play -- no signage indicating that you need to pay for DG.

Worth a stop if you're passing through, but definitely not a destination.
