Best 9 Hole Course in Georgia 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 27, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a great course for beginner. It has a good mix of open fairways and narrow wooded shots. The grass is well maintained and the local club has monthly work days to keep the course looking its best. There are bag hanger at every hole to keep your bag from getting stained by that famous Georgia clay. The signage is spot on with distant and direction to the basket. The arrows help out a lot with finding your way to the next hole.

The course is fair with the number of strokes it gives for each hole. You dont need a big arm to do well on this course. It's more of a slow and steady wins the race mindset that does good here. It's also pretty equal with how many holes are for lefties and righties. Overall a very well rounded course.

Some other pluses here is there is a bathroom at the parking lot; with plans to put in another in the back between holes 5 and 6. Its also well patroled by the local police, but they keep their distance and some of them actual play too. The course disigners did a good job separating the course from the running trail so you don't really have to worry about hitting anyone. The park itself is new and well maintained.

Cons:

The basket on number 2 is hard to spot from the tee pad. Its hiding behind one of the big trees. The best advice I can give to help find it is to stand on the tee pad and line yourself up with the junior tee pad in front of you. The basket is behind the tree thats past the junior tee pad.

There are some pretty big gaps between the basket and the next tee pad on some of the holes.
Some of the tee pad have some runoff issues that need to be fixed.

The only other con is that the course is too short. I wish there were more hole to play here at this course.

Other Thoughts:

There are more pros than cons at this course for sure. Im a local and play this course almost everyday and it still enjoyable. It's short enough to stop and play if your just passing through. But also long enough to play through twice to make it a even 18.

Also don't count out the junior tees. If you get bored with the blue tee, you can always play from the red tees and take one stroke off the par for the hole.
