Reviewed: Played on:Sep 5, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

+tight in some places, a little more open in others
+some holes with good elevation change
+concrete tee pads, Innova Pro 28 baskets
+pretty easy to navigate with several "next tee" signs
+attractive park with lots of amenities including bathrooms, a walking track around a lake, hiking trails and even pickleball courts
+grass is well-maintained and there is little shule if any off the fairways
+practice basket, lots of benches
+par 4 holes require a bit of planning of how to attack the hole, especially hole 6, a downhill gem with strategically placed large trees and an OB sidewalk defining the right side of the fairway

Cons:

-if you're going to design a hole where the fairway turns a jarring 90 degrees, hole 7 is actually one of the best ways to do it. Par 4, with the tee shot requiring an accurate placement in a landing zone that has OB on the left and straight ahead at 290 or so feet, and an impenetrable forest on the right for the first 260 feet. Hit the landing zone and you'll have a pretty clean look at the basket, 250-275 feet away. So I actually like the hole, but understand why some players don't like a 90 degree turn on a fairway, it's not exactly "natural"

Other Thoughts:

Tyus is a solid course that doesn't give up any really easy birdies. I like the downhill drops of holes 10 & 11 and the uphill climbs of holes 15 & 16. Every hole requires a really accurate shot to birdie, and the par 4 holes are all designed very well. Well-kept grounds add to the enjoyment, and the double-loop design brings players back to the parking lot if a mid-round beverage is desired. The numerous trees on the course provide ample shade during the long Georgia summer. Tyus is an excellent tournament course too.

Gem of a course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Everything in great shape
Baskets easy to find
Challenging, but not impossible to play
Tee signs clear and easy to read the hole
Variety of elevation, some tight windows to throw and some wide open fairways for big drives

Cons:

Only con I found is not all red tees have concrete tee pad (most do, but not all)

Other Thoughts:

Fantastic course instantly one of my favorites. Definitely worth a visit, can't wait to throw it again

A must play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well maintained, Signs were great, easy to follow,

Cons:

Restrooms at the start but not again.
I wish the tee signs would label which pin position the baskets were in.

Other Thoughts:

Well thought out course. Maintenance is good. Bring some sun screen, some hole are out in the sun.

A little of everything 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 3, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I really enjoy playing this course. I has a great mix of wooded and open holes as well as long, short, dog legs, straight, etc.

It definitely had me going deep into my bag at times.

Cons:

Does not take advantage of the pond at all. I assume it was a condition set forth by the park.

Other Thoughts:

I play an alternative tee for 18 by the rocks near 17's basket. It makes for a great elevated tee shot over the pond.
