Just as I remember it

I played this course back in the late 90’s when it first opened. It still has fast greens and the course requires shot placement for you to have a manageable score.
Greens= Very good shape, fast and receive the ball well, be below the hole.
Tee Boxes = most are good shape, but are tough to put a tee in.
Fairways = Good shape, heat has taken a toll and need some water.
Pace = Excellent for a holiday
Sand Bunker = didn’t end up in them but they seem pretty good
Clubhouse personnel = Excellent, friendly and the very helpful. The beer selection is good and the food was spot on.

A must to play

If you haven’t played this course due to the fact it’s a long drive for you and golf friends, believe me the course is awesome! Challenging layout!
The greens are perfect not a single green is burnt up! The driving range and practice putting green is top noch! The clubhouse has a real good food I like the club sandwich!!!! Great value to play a course in perfect condition.

Beautiful and Challenging

Been playing about a year now and this is the worst I have ever played. The course is beautiful but it is hard. It was originally designed by Arnold Palmer and man was he unkind. Elevation changes through the rolling hills of the course, the greens for lack of a better word, run. They are hard to read and I left no putt short; they just flew past. Definitely recommend, but definitely for moderate to advanced players and definitely expect your first round to be rough.

Challenging But Worth It

As a gift, I played the more forward Augusta tees.Glad I did. Several holes require both precision and length off the tee. There were a few holes that gave some relief and were shorter, but still required an accurate long iron to take advantage of the shortened hole. The course was in great shape.

Great track and value

Was very pleased at the layout of this course with much elevation coming into play. Some very reachable par 5’s set you up to score well.

To no fault of the course, the conditions were very dry leading to very large bounces and difficulty holding on greens. To be expected during a dry stretch of the Summer. Greens were firm but in great condition, better grass than most public’s you’ll find in the ATL radius.

Beautiful Course Challenging Greens

These are some of the most challenging undulating greens in GA. Greens are in amazing shape and roll beautifully. Fairways are lush, and layout is fun. Everything about this course is wonderful.

The only knock are the tee boxes which need work, and some fairway areas (like the flat area about 120 yards from the green on Hole 3) need to be marked as under repair.

Great course and very worth it.

The greens are really hard

I love this course and the conditions are great but be warned. These greens are very fast and quite difficult to read. Not a bad thing at all but your scorecard may look a little different when you play here.

One of my favorite places to play, however this time the pace of play was terrible ( 5.5 hr. round). Nothing was done to speed the slow groups up. one group stopped and got lunch at the turn and the marshall made the group in front of us and us wait for them keep their place in line. We never waited less that 10 minutes on evry tee shot and approach shots.

Disappointing

I’ve played this course many times over the years and this is the worse it’s been. Greens were punched earlier in the week but they didn’t tell the golfers. The greens and fairways are being overrun with weeds. Plus we haven’t had rain for days but zero of the sand traps have been racked. Disappointed in the conditions. I hope this is only momentary and not a sign of things to come
