This is one of my favorite courses and it was in pristine condition. A great variety of holes and 27 holes. Therefore I've never encountered a problem with the pace of play. The rd and silver nines are fairly flat with the black more challenging with more elevation changes. A course you could play regularly and never get tired of it.

The course was in perfect condition. Fortunately, we started well behind the morning event and had a decent pace of play. Definitely worth the drive.

Started great, but then.......

Great course, perfect conditions, awesome staff. Pace of play was great at first, until the back nine, when there were 5 groups at one hole. As a single, I bailed after seeing that. Proshop apologized, and refunded the back 9.

I will go back!!

Very Nice High Priced Semi-Private Track

I have played a few previous rounds at the Georgia Club and usually find the course well maintained. I played the Black to Silver sequence for this round. The course is in very good (not quite pristine) condition with greens at a 5-star level. The Black 9 plays nearly 3,400 yards from the medal tees (silver) which is a bit long for my game. The holes have adequate, but protected landing areas. Most holes include modest to significant doglegs. The par three holes offer a good challenge, yet are not very long. I highly recommend the Georgia Club if you can tolerate the price. In my opinion, there are several area courses that offer a much better value. Note: I rate golf courses on an absolute scale using the following guidelines:
5 stars - Top tier golf course, all amenities, outstanding service/management and excellent course maintenance.
4 stars - Good to great course layout, complete club experience (full practice facilities, locker room, grill, etc...), efficient service/management, very good course maintenance.
3 stars - Good course layout, average practice facilities, average service/management, average course maintenance. No pace of play problems.
2 stars - Nothing special, but an enjoyable course to play. Only minor issues with pace of play.
1 star - Not worth the effort or serious pace of play issues. I take pace of play very seriously.
A 5-hour round is a minimum two-star reduction.

Great course and club staff

The course layout is amazing and in great shape.
Greens where a bit hard but the ball rolled beautyfully.
The club staff is extraordinary, from the guys that pick up your bag to the starter, and the bar.
Great experience

The range is also great.

No Cargo Shorts

Starter was rude about normal length cargo shorts not being golf shorts, and was not going to let me play in them. These were the same type of shorts I had worn to play here and everywhere in for the past four years, luckily I had a pair of slacks in the car that were approved for golfing at Georgia Club. Course was in good shape and greens were rolling true. However, we followed a group of six for the afternoon round and although they were quick, it was still a group of six on a course that is picky about their golf shorts.
