Bacon Park Golf Course

Bacon Park has benefited from some improvements over the years, but it is still a low end public course.with dirt cart paths. It had recently rained heavily, when I played it and the course was a rutted quagmire. The club house dates from the late 60's and looks it. Don't bother to play this course unless you have nothing else to do.

Greens were really bad but course was ok otherwise.
People behind us were hitting into us twice and when we told them to yell "four" to warn us, the guy just shrugged it off as no big deal. Don't think we would play it agian....maybe....

Horrendous greens. Nice staff. She called me beautiful.
Course not worth the price if they aren’t improving the course.

While many of the previous reviews were somewhat harsh, there not totally wrong. While the greens are not in great shape, there not unplayable as others would have you believe.
The tee boxes and fairways are in good shape and very playable.
The layout is extremely forgiving, no real significant difficulties for play
Making a tee time was incredibly easy, and the lady was very helpful. However checking in was a little rude. Play today was very slow with the foursome in front. But joined up with 2 of the nicest guys from the nearby army base.
Bottom line we really enjoyed our day.

greens are bad to really bad. fairways don't have any grass and are not contoured. cart paths are terrible. this course has relatively high green fees, especially considering the course condition which hasn't improved in the last 20 years.

Course was in rough shape on fairways and especially greens. Hope someone will give this old course back its glory days and well cared for. Bringing back the greens will be tough! Lots of potential for the casual player like me! Great staff ….. best of luck!!

It’s early in the season but the golf is good! Greens rolled reasonably fast and true. Bunkers were well kept. You go to Bacon Park for the history, the solid design and the friendly, accommodating staff. Recommended without reservation!

Bacon Park has its late 1920s Donald Ross pedigree. It is a municipal course that truly does what it is able to grow the game. The staff could not have been nicer. The pro shop is set up with reasonably priced merchandise and the snack bar adequate. There is a nice range and short game area. The putting green was closed on the day I visited and it apparently will need some work before reopening. The par threes are uniformly good. The par fours are of reasonable distance, and the routing encourages players to move the ball left and right with or against a shifting wind Because of the creative routing. As might be expected at any Ross course, It is hard to trust the edges of the greens. It is quite easy to miss a green because of the false fronts or the edges that slope down into closely mown chipping areas. This course was recommended To me, buy a golf, professional in Virginia. My visit was very satisfying and yes, I would go back again!

We had an almost perfect day; great weather, no one in front slowing us down or pushing from behind; it was a very enjoyable day. But it wasn't because the golf course was great. The course is in I won't say "poor" but certainly below average shape. The worst thing is the greens. To varying extents they are being invaded by a grass different from the Bermuda which makes bumps all over the place. So much so that on some of the greens your putt is going to pretty much be a random line towards the hole. The ball will be bouncing and changing directions--a lot. If you decide, "putting is simply not going to important in this round," you can have a nice, economical walk. If scoring is important to you, I would recommend you play elsewhere.

This course is trash. Especially when they charge $50 for a round of golf. Pace of play was terrible. I’ve never seen a golf course look this bad.

I have never played a course that hole number nine didn’t butt up against the clubhouse. There was no one on the course selling refreshments. Management has done a very poor job. The system for keeping the cards on the cart path is out of wack. The cart paths are difficult to tell from the surrounding fairways.

Cart paths are ridiculous and rough. Most paths are not clearly marked or identified. The stop mechanism on the carts are frustrating and maddening to deal with.
We won't be returning to that course.
The young girl working the desk was rude and should learn sometthing about customer service .

This course is not worth the time or money to play. Greens were awful and they had grass/weeds growing in the sand traps. I am shocked they charge 55 dollars for a round here. Ill play somewhere else in Savannah.

The course was pretty decent for the price. Some of the greens had a lot of patches some of other Tee box had a lot of sand and no grass. The Fairway was decent. Overall, I give it A 5 out of 10.

Course tee to green no issues. Fairways tight and fast. If you can't hit off tight lues this course not for you. No overseed anywhere. I like that. Few greens need healing but the pins are awy from the bad spots. Green roll about a 9. I think 2 of them have been totally re done because the greens were a little slower. Had a good time. Weather perfect. No halfway house, no putting green and no water on course. I wouldn't blame the course for my score.
