Some buddies and I booked this course as 1 of the 4 we played in north GA this weekend and weren’t expecting much. We were blown away and this by far was our favorite course we played. (Both Chateau Elans and Ecehlon GC were the others) Greens were firm and rolled true. Layout and design was great. We loved the big stones used around the bunkers and tee boxes. Lot of risk/reward with the short tight par 4s. Guy in the pro shop was great. Will definitely be back!
Good first impression! Played yesterday. I would highly recommend downloading the app they encourage. Greens in good shape but pretty firm. My one complaint, which loses the five star review, stems from the price. $135 is steep for 1) Bunkers with low to no loose sand — majority unplayable, 2) No marshall on course for pace of play, and 3) Trying to make money off of the range with small quantities for normal pricing. It’s nit picking a little, but feels fair given the same greens fee at Atlanta courses without those small complaints. Feels like fair market value for the round should be around $75-100, which is apparently doable with their dynamic pricing.
The course was in the best shape I’ve seen it in the 4 years I’ve been playing here. Tees and fairways were lush. Greens were near perfect and fast! Staff is friendly and helpful. The only thing lacking here is the food and beverage amenities.
I was paired with a young man at Lane Creek and he highly recommended this course. He’s a member and I drive a hour and 20 minutes to play today. Let’s just say I was blown away. This course is well worth the money. Beautiful layout. Fast greens. No houses. Pace of play was not terrible. Staff were so nice. Guy in the proshop(hate that I didn’t get his name. He was absolutely phenomenal, helpful and friendly. If I lived closer I would join immediately! I will definitely make this a must play when I’m in the area. I can’t wait to bring my wife and 3 sons to play.
Decent course good greens nice people, the fairways don't get overseed so they run slow and brown during winter and fall but overall a B+ for the course.
