Played this golf course a few times, specifically on August 21, 2023. I have seen the course in better shape than what it currently is in. For the price it is not bad and definitely manageable. To get into the details, the greens need some work in regards to a few dead spots as you can see in the pictures. The fairways also have some dry and hard spots which make it difficult to play accurately. Some tee boxes are just sand and barley have any grass on them. If this course had better care it would be outstanding. It is challenging and makes you think, especially with the elevation challenges throughout the course. A lot of water hazards. The course also has no drinking water throughout in this Georgia heat. The pro shop is still using "COVID" as the reasoning for this which seems ridiculous. Practice facilities such as range, putting green/chipping are below average. Overall if the course had more help it would be outstanding. The city should get them more helping hands to keep the course going.
As a golf course superintendent, I know and understand what it takes to maintain a course. A municipal course is generally underfunded and at a disadvantage labor and equipment wise. Flint River is doing a good job. This was first time playing the course and I thought the course was in good shape overall with quality greens. I would definitely go back.
I started golfing 13 years ago Turner Field is my Home Course I have seen a real change in course. Wish the Staff was the same as the old one's. It's a Hard Course to play trust me I know ; I got a friend that plays hole #8 par 3 with me from the blue tees and hasn't hit the Green in regulation in about 70 rounds. Golf is hard , not for use all. Just stay Dedicated to yourself to getting better
Beautiful course , it’s really the best deal in Albany by far. Their greens put stone bridge and river point to shame. Their manager Roy is a credit to the community. You won’t find a more welcoming environment anywhere.
Great course with awesome staff!! It's well maintained, good greens, affordable, with holes ranging from moderate to difficult. Overall, we travel from Columbus weekly and always experience a great round of golf.
