This course has enough distance and variety to be a very fun and challenging course. Elements of elevation, shot shaping, and length are mixed throughout. A few very nice holes. There is also a short nine if you don't want to play 18.

Natural tees are marked with posts, but no signage or next tee indicators. Fairways are in need of some sculpting and definition. Flow of the course is not always easy to follow.

A bit of concrete and a couple of work days could raise the rating of this course in a hurry. As an explorer, I'm glad to have stopped here to play. As a destination, there is still quite a lot to be desired.

-Nice use of the given land.

-Nice having another course in the area

-once you get paste the first 4 holes, most holes we're really good and well thought out

-Hard to follow course flow in some places (small green sigs are hard to follow)

-VERY overgrown in some areas, (better with more traffic/matinence)...stay on the fairways or risk losing your disc (lost 2 on this round...one to a snake(That "bowl" on hole 3), and one in the woods.)

-Some Blind shots which are always interesting.

- Course was obviously crammed on the back side of the campus in what was once used as a drainage area.

-grass tees/ wood poles for signs

-went on a dry week and the first few holes felt muddy...hate to see it on a wet week

-Very few trashcans/benches (useful on a hot day

Good course for what they we're given to work with, but it just wasn't well trafficked enough yet, or well maintained....as this course becomes more popular...It has the potential to be one of the best in the area.


In the winter when i come back i might re-review this, as it might be a better course with the overgrowth backs off for the winter.

Brand new course, so kudos to the course builders / designers for their effort on another new course for our sport. Decent mix of open holes (1-3), and wooded holes (4-15). Its obvious that a lot of work has been done to clear out the wooded holes in terms of removing trees and shule from the fairways. Looks like more trees / stumps have been marked for removal. Wooded holes require accurate throws, and also require you to turn the disc both ways, but not so tight that's its unfair. Course has a good variety of distances. Moderate terrain changes, with 12 (downhill) and 13 (uphill) being the most dramatic. Some holes felt like par 4's, but hard to tell with no distances or par indicators (yet). Plenty of holes to reach with one good shot as well. Brand new Mach2 baskets. Pretty good "next tee" signage. I never got lost. Hole 12 was the "signature" hole for me, downhill right to lefter, nice view with a good path through the trees. Course is located directly on the GCSU west campus / athletic complex. The speakers from an ongoing baseball game provided a soundtrack for my round. Course is close to Rolling Hills DGC in Milledgeville. I played them both fairly quickly, 26 holes total between the two.

Virtually all cons relate to the "new factor", i.e. the inherent rough nature of a brand new course. Course is still very rough. While fairway paths have been cleared (with a lot of obvious work), there are still a lot of stickers, stumps, etc. in the fairways. Lots of long wheat grass on the open holes as well. I can see where it would be easy to lose discs here. I can't imagine playing this course in shorts (too rough), which would be a real issue for me on a hot summer day in Georgia. One set of tees per hole, grass only, sometimes uneven teeing areas. No real signage, save for some good "next tee" signs. Without signage / maps, I had to walk halfway on some blind holes to see the basket location. We've had a wet winter in Georgia, but the drainage seemed bad. The group in front of me quit after 3 holes due to the poor drainage. I soldiered on, but had to skip hole 4 as it was a swamp. Hole 3 is open, with a large grassy bowl to your right. That grassy bowl was so swamped, there were frogs in there making their own symphony. It would be real easy to lose your drive in that swamp on hole 3. Very slippery and muddy when I played. Only 15 holes when I played.

Cons relating to roughness should be expected for a new course. I'm sure with play, the rough edges will disappear. Consider this course still a "work in progress". At least its open with 15 decent holes. I also suspect as more dollars become available the course would get upgraded with better tees, signage, etc. Give this one some time, and it will only get better. Quick drive over to Rolling Hills for a different type of course - open and hilly. Make sure you go to the west campus / athletic complex off the 441 bypass. I was not familiar with GCSU and wasted a lot of time on the main campus before finally getting directions. Once you enter the west campus, the directions on the main page are perfect.
