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

Jack will humble you!

This is a tough course - fast greens and a challenging layout- but it is in awesome shape. Fairways are the nicest around. When you start to get cocky about your game, play here!

Rain check

We can not get rain(heavy, rain) check because we booked through Golf Now. They said that we can solve the problem through Golf Now. Is that course policy or Golf now policy ? We don't know relevant regulations. If it is, please, let us know about it. Thanks.

As far as the raincheck goes, if you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow, no money is paid to the pro-shop, so there is no money that is owed back from the course. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future! Thank you!

Fast Greens

Greatt accept for 2 things 1. Sand traps full of small pebbles (screen out all sand) add fresh sand too. Bottoms of bunkers ( no sand at bottoms). Some areas around greens are worn out and need sod.

Father's Day Round

Hot day for Father's day. Course is in good, not great conditions... a few greens had some small issues, nothing too problematic, and some fairways need more water, but the rain this week will help that. We had fun and enjoyed the day without playing our best. Be sure to be below the holes... tricky reads and fast down grain and down hill.
