Reviews
It wasn't my favorite place to play golf. The course conditions are not very good at all. The tee boxes are poor at best, the greens have weeds on them there is trash (beer cans) all over the place. The few areas with water (around hole two and three) smell like a literal sewer. The course is tightly packed into a small area so you will always see other golfers, which isn't a big deal. The staff are all very polite and accommodating which was nice. All in all the course provides an ok place to play golf for not a lot of money and if you keep an eye open you can leave with more golf balls then you came in with. Update to this review: I went back several times and the improvements are very noticeable. No more trash and the pond by #3 no longer makes you gag. A few of the tee boxes are still pretty rough. The biggest improvements is the greens. No more weeds and they roll nice now. Great job to the staff.
Played this morning and course was in bad shape, there were no tee times according to the starter as we were waiting on two groups as soon as we were let on. Saw the owner reply about a group of 7 being the issue. My group was behind the group of 7, they weren't playing together until about hole 6 after all of us were waiting on another 2 groups of 4 at every tee box. The group left after 9 holes on their own accord due to how long it took to play the front 9. They were not thrown off nor were they warned multiple times. Pace of play also did not change after they left, again due to the starter sending people on without care. Course was poor, pace of play was poor and the blatant lying by the owner goes to show how much he cares, or lack there of, about the courses standard. Driving range was nice with the tracking system however.
If I could give it 0 I would. Paid for 18 but left after 9 because of how horrible this place is. Apart from the greens being easily mistaken for sand traps, the staff is beyond disrespectful. From ignoring friendly hellos to threatening to boot you off the course, there’s no money they could pay me to play their course. Shot a 33 on the front 9 and it took 2.5 hours due to the pace of play. Our two groups were backed up into each other and the starter came by insisting it was because we played together, yet the group in front of us had 4 gentlemen 5 putting every par 3 on the course. Plenty of golf courses in the metro Atlanta area, this is one to stay far away from. Oh and expect some tee boxes to be literal mats like you’re playing at top golf, had to add that in here.
It’s a great course for starters with no expectations. For the price to keep going up, you’d expect for the quality to get a little better, but the tee boxes are almost Unplayable. They are rock solid, can’t even get a tee in the ground.
The starter, Lonnie, was so comically rude to us in between grilling his hotdogs that it was actually kind of charming in its own way. Honestly a unique and interesting beginner’s course, but the tee boxes and greens were in such a poor state that the price point is a bit laughable - can probably find better for cheaper nearby.
