Rough but Challenging

The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The course has suffered some from lack of rain but was very challenging for me. 9 hole course that I played from the back tees on both rounds. Mostly par 4's a couple of 5's and some 3's. Ladies tee boxes were way moved up but the par remains the same for the guys. Overall a fun little course with lots of trees and bunkers.

More a field than a course

Entry thru a dusty gravel pit. Course in the poorest of poor conditions. There are no tight lies like dirt, scrum, and pits throughout the fairway. The greens, wow, in a bad way. I guess it takes money to maintain a course, but still.

Maybe the Worst Course I've Ever Played

The course was flat, with lots of bare or weedy patches, and the greens were uneven. It was possibly the worst golf course I've ever play, as far as conditions are concerned. But my friend and I had a great time. The weather was great; we were in Savannah; and the course was nearby and not very expensive. We were playing golf. Enough said.

Ok for a quick 18

Course is still in winter rough shape. Greens were pretty good and fair. Easy course to follow except the number 4/13 tee box. Plenty of vehicle and train noise so don't expect nice quiet round of golf. Based on noise and course condition, I would have expected the price to be a bit lower until the turf greens up a bit.

The course was ok, very ruff in spots. The biggest problem was finding its location. Even Uber had problems finding it.

First time playing this course

Played this course for the first time today. Overall I would give it a 5 star rating. But there’s definitely a handful of things that they are working on and need to work on. It’s a pretty interesting location but also brings it to life. I would definitely play this course again for the price!

Very average

Be aware this is just a 9 hole course. Pace of play on back 9 quite slow as we had to wait to start “10” while others were starting “1”. So waited nearly 20 minutes between 9 and 10. Nobody showed up until 7:15 to open the pro shop so the guys ahead of us that had a 7am tee time were delayed and caused delays right off the bat at the beginning of the day.

Thanks for the review. If you could be more specific with the issues. I know the course was wet due to 3 1/2 inches of rain after the Hurricane passed by the previous day.

Not even worth it

The fact they are trying to now charge as much as other courses in the area is a crime, this is the one course I don’t play in Savannah it’s a joke

Socked by green condition

The greens were the nicest I had ever played on. The fairways were excellent as well. The bunkers need some works but fortunately I stayed out of them for most of the morning.

Cute Course

We were unable to get on the other Savannah courses and the night before we played it rained hard. There were extra water hazards as that amount of water did not have time to drain so that made it interesting. The amount of noise from the railroad, I-516 and the airport was interesting. But over all it was a nice morning to get in a quick nine and the golf pro could not have been nicer.

Thanks for the 4 Star rating. We, like all the other courses, received a lot of rain and it takes some time to drain. Thanks for your understanding.

Good Beginner/Intermediate Course

This course is a great beginner’s course, not tons of water and forest to lose your balls. Honestly the greens here are nicer than some courses you pay more for. Gas carts/no annoying GPS/overall just a good place to get a round in and not stress yourself out. Paper mill is right next to it so the smell isn’t the best sometimes but not really a big deal to me. Putting green has one hole on it and the range is in rough shape but I know what to expect when I come here! MC has my money!
