they're not even trying to improve this tract

greens are bad to really bad. fairways don't have any grass and are not contoured. cart paths are terrible. this course has relatively high green fees, especially considering the course condition which hasn't improved in the last 20 years.

First time play at Bcon Park

Course was in rough shape on fairways and especially greens. Hope someone will give this old course back its glory days and well cared for. Bringing back the greens will be tough! Lots of potential for the casual player like me! Great staff ….. best of luck!!

Play a Donald Ross classic

It’s early in the season but the golf is good! Greens rolled reasonably fast and true. Bunkers were well kept. You go to Bacon Park for the history, the solid design and the friendly, accommodating staff. Recommended without reservation!

Donald Ross 1927

Bacon Park has its late 1920s Donald Ross pedigree. It is a municipal course that truly does what it is able to grow the game. The staff could not have been nicer. The pro shop is set up with reasonably priced merchandise and the snack bar adequate. There is a nice range and short game area. The putting green was closed on the day I visited and it apparently will need some work before reopening. The par threes are uniformly good. The par fours are of reasonable distance, and the routing encourages players to move the ball left and right with or against a shifting wind Because of the creative routing. As might be expected at any Ross course, It is hard to trust the edges of the greens. It is quite easy to miss a green because of the false fronts or the edges that slope down into closely mown chipping areas. This course was recommended To me, buy a golf, professional in Virginia. My visit was very satisfying and yes, I would go back again!

Nice time but not because of the golf

We had an almost perfect day; great weather, no one in front slowing us down or pushing from behind; it was a very enjoyable day. But it wasn't because the golf course was great. The course is in I won't say "poor" but certainly below average shape. The worst thing is the greens. To varying extents they are being invaded by a grass different from the Bermuda which makes bumps all over the place. So much so that on some of the greens your putt is going to pretty much be a random line towards the hole. The ball will be bouncing and changing directions--a lot. If you decide, "putting is simply not going to important in this round," you can have a nice, economical walk. If scoring is important to you, I would recommend you play elsewhere.

This course is trash. Especially when they charge $50 for a round of golf. Pace of play was terrible. I’ve never seen a golf course look this bad.

This course begins and ends at the first hole.

I have never played a course that hole number nine didn’t butt up against the clubhouse. There was no one on the course selling refreshments. Management has done a very poor job. The system for keeping the cards on the cart path is out of wack. The cart paths are difficult to tell from the surrounding fairways.

Cart paths are ridiculous and rough. Most paths are not clearly marked or identified. The stop mechanism on the carts are frustrating and maddening to deal with.
We won't be returning to that course.
The young girl working the desk was rude and should learn sometthing about customer service .

Not worth it.

This course is not worth the time or money to play. Greens were awful and they had grass/weeds growing in the sand traps. I am shocked they charge 55 dollars for a round here. Ill play somewhere else in Savannah.

The course is good for the price.

The course was pretty decent for the price. Some of the greens had a lot of patches some of other Tee box had a lot of sand and no grass. The Fairway was decent. Overall, I give it A 5 out of 10.

Winter Golf

Course tee to green no issues. Fairways tight and fast. If you can't hit off tight lues this course not for you. No overseed anywhere. I like that. Few greens need healing but the pins are awy from the bad spots. Green roll about a 9. I think 2 of them have been totally re done because the greens were a little slower. Had a good time. Weather perfect. No halfway house, no putting green and no water on course. I wouldn't blame the course for my score.

Surprised

Not sure what your gonna get in the winter. Tee to green just fine. Fairways dormant so had great roll out. Some greens need some work. Pins were in position to avoid some bare spots
