Beautiful course

Although they were doing major bunker repairs, the fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Loved the course design with views of the lake water sometimes in play,and strategically placed bunkers. Definitely giing to play here again.

After aeration...

Great course and people. Most of the time it is in pristine conditions. Not today. The greens were aerated, and the grass let grow tall. Not fun! The carts were so dirty and smelling as fertilizer, not what expected. But for sure it is just a temporary situation. There are improvements going on the course, so the future looks great!

Best bang for buck

I live in Athens and I wasn’t sure about driving an hour to play in Elberton but for $50 on a Sunday I risked it. Glad I did! Great course in excellent shape. Back nine is around the beautiful lake. Would play again tomorrow.

Lake Views

First time playing the course, I live north of Atlanta and made a trip to play this course. Worth the effort to get out here! Course is fantastic and the back nice is one of the best I have played in north Georgia. Conditions were excellent. Stuff was super friendly inside, course has a great practice putting green and a normal range. Make the drive, it’s worth it.

Great course.

Very nice course, great condition with very scenic holes.
Greens a little slower than we are used to, but in great shape and rolled true. This was our first visit, looking forward to playing again.

Pleasant Surprise!!!!

i have been hearing about the course layout for 5 years but never made the trip to the course....not only was the layout fun and breathtaking but the conditions were exceptional for a public course. The fairways were almost perfect and greens had no ball marks or any bad spots. The speed of the greens were not fast but rolled true. Definitely will be back!!!!

Great public course

Great place to play and a good/fair price. It was a cart path only day which I thought was probably not necessary as the course didn’t appear to be that wet. Will definitely return very soon to play!

Great Views

I didn't know what to expect on a State Park course but I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in great condition. The greens were still sanded and slow but putted true. The view of the lake added a lot. Lots of hills. Don't expect many flat lies. I would look forward to playing again.
