Great course - bad conditions

My regular group has played here twice now and we really enjoy the course. It’s a fun course that allows to attack if desired. It has roomy fairways and nice greens. It sets up really nicely for my game actually. The greens roll a little slower than I expect, but they are very receptive and roll true. The staff is top notch and the driving range and practice area are amongst the best you’ll encounter.

My only negative is that I believe the course should have been closed. It had rained all week. There was standing water on the vast majority of the fairway surface. Most of the bunkers were unplayable due to water and sand washout. Half of the tee boxes had turned to mud. It was an okay outing but no one wants to have to take relief to find an area that is not under water on the majority of the fairways. For the price, I would have rather they shut the course down and we could have found a goat track In similar conditions and enjoyed ourselves just as much. This day was not a day to be serious about golf.

Go-to favorite

Had a late afternoon tee time with my son and had the place to ourselves. I’ve been a member off and on for 10 years or so, but off now… I love this golf course, and they’re doing a good job with it.

Excellent Challenging Course

This is a big brawny golf course, with plenty of challenge for any golfer. Excellent driving range and short game area and a grounds crew that works hard - they were out trying their best to stay ahead of the leaves with their blowers. Not, cheap, but totally worth the greens fees.

Great features.

The layout is superior, the greens were excellent, the tee boxes and fairways were a little crispy.

All Around Great Golf Experience

Pros: immaculate course condition. fun course layout. fast & truly-rolling greens. top-notch practice facilities. beautiful club house. hardworking crew.

Cons: location that requires drive through the horrible weekend I-75 construction.

Still much better value than other overpriced courses on the I-85 corridor. Visit GTC if you love golf.

Good day on a really good course

Course is in great shape. Good “country club” layout.
Too many singles and twosomes playing through.
They need a new restaurant and beverage manager. It can not take 15 min at the turn for beers and crackers.

First Class all the way

First class from the moment we drove up to the time we left. Front staff and pro shop was very friendly. Was cart path only the day we played but didn't take away from the overall experience. First time playing the course from the back tees and enjoyed the round. Would recommend it to anybody!!

Gem of a course

Absolutely perfect, great condition, great layout, test your skills. Front none more difficult than back.
A small mixup at the start with overbooked groups so they let us off the back.
Absolutely perfect course, can’t think of anything negative. Greens were a bit hard but rolled true, fairways were lush, rough was thick but the second cut was wide enough that you were allowed some errant tee shots.

Fun and interesting!

Nice layout with a lot of interesting, fun holes. Very hilly - take a cart. Wet conditions made for super slow greens, but the course was in nice shape. Glad this course was recommended to us during our short visit to the Atlanta area. Would definitely play again.
