-The Berry college campus is a very scenic setting.Deer everywhere that aren't phased at all by people.
-Great job incorporating the trees available into play. Most holes throw at pins that are well placed between giant old oaks and pines.Looks like in the summer if you dont keep it low near the bucket, you will end up with a meaty putt.Just about every tree on the land used is in play somehow, even though the course is open.Reminds me of George Ward in Birmingham.
-Just good old fashioned fun to play.I really enjoyed this course.Its very possible to shoot low scores out here, but I would not call this an easy course either. It was calm when I played, But i'd bet cash money that with a little breeze, scores go way up.
-There must be a 50 to 1 girls to guys ratio at berry because the only men I saw there were maintenance guys. College girls = huge plus in my book.

-I found all but 3 of the "official" teepads but i think I got lucky to do that.There were faded spray paint marks on the grass and once I noticed those the course flow made very good sense.Most of the time the next pad was very close to the previous basket (see my next con) and the next basket was visible.
-Holes 1 and 18 criss cross fairways, and the next pad is often within 30' of the previous basket.This is really a non issue though, not many players here.Would cause an issue during tourney play, so thats why I mention it.
-Do not try to use the course map link from this site.It looks like things have been changed out here since that map was made. For one, its 18 holes. Second, there are no 700' holes or anything like that.There are a handfull of holes in the 375 ish range but most are between 280-330 or so.10 and 11 may be 400+, but these were 2 of the 3 holes where I found no pad markings at all.The other was 17.

The only thing that dissapointed me about this course was that it turned out to be much shorter than advertised by other reviwers. I was able to reach every hole that I found a marked pad for, and my max d is only in the 380' range.This is not the fault of the reviwers of course, It looks like some changes were made since some of the older reviews.That and I cant stress enough that I WAS THE EXCEPTION when it comes to finding pads on your own out here.Try to find a local guide.

Dont let the negatives I mentioned scare you away from this course. Once you figure out where to throw from this course is a hidden gem.I liked this course so much that I plan on making another trip soon here just to mark the pads.I'm thinking some orange construction flags will do the trick temporarily, hopefully the school or some motavatied locals can do something more permanent in the future.I really like this course and definitely will make the 60 mile trip from canton again.

Beautiful location in the center of Berry College campus is awesome!. Large open fields nearby with dozens of whitetailed deer roaming freely around sundown. Holes are mostly open, rolling terrain with well manicured turf and occasional acient oaks. The 756' second hole is a monster - lots of fun! The log cabin on #6 adds a nice signature.

I managed to find the course by using aerial images, a campus map, and some luck. Unmarked tees are near impossible to find without a local guide and/or map (I lucked-out my first time there and found a local who was starting a round the same time I was.) Two residental buildings are near holes 3 and 4 (fore!) Needs 9 more holes : )

There are six courses within 45 a minute drive of my house. I drive an hour to play the Log Cabin course, and Winshape at Berry College, regularly.
