Classic layout

Hidden little gem on the grounds of a paper mill. The scent of wood pulp is prevalent, but you get used to it. There are great old trees that don't come into play unless you really spray it. Currently, you should take a free drop from the bunkers, but it plays a little easier because of that. Once they are refilled with sane, the course will regain in difficulty.
It reminds me of some of the old courses you used to see on Shell's Wonderful World of Golf. The greens are firm, but very true.

Unsatisfactory

Not only did I get charged but also showed up to a closed golf course with absolutely no courtesy notification. Course is also in very poor condition where you will need an 4x4 just to gain entrance. An goat track for sure that is in desperate need of new management.

Dog Track

I have played a lot of golf courses and by far the worst. Paid for 18 and played 9. After the 3rd hole I played the course with only my driver. Why not.

Not bad

The course is positioned in the International Paper entrance. I would recommend not purchasing a tee time before 8am due to the trains blocking the entrance to the course. Friendly staff, just had to wait an hour for the train to warm up. Would recommend if looking for an inexpensive place to play near downtown Savannah and just want to enjoy golf.

Solid course for good play

They had just aerated the greens, but did tell us that up front, and gave a discount for it. For a 9 hole course, it plays well. Some longer holes that give a solid challenge. Not a lot of difficult shots necessarily, but a fun time, quick pace of play, and a good atmosphere

Overall a 9-hole course in poor condition

Staff was great. But there was as group of six (yes- 6) that clogged the course they let groups play through, but once they got near the green you had to wait until they finished

So, overall. Course not in great shape, nine holes . . . I won’t be back

Hello, Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve.Thank you for playing Mary Calder Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

A good day

Played on Christmas Eve. Course was busy early but thinned out in a couple hours. Still a little wet but played ok. More rain coming later and likely will be too wet to play the next few days.

Very friendly staff. Despite the wet conditions the course was fun to play. Greens are small which makes the course challenging. Overall a great experience and fun.

Was not able to play

Due to a storm the night before, the course was full of water and we were unable to play as the course was closed. I am a beginner and find the course to be in decent shape and a variety of levels of difficulty. Staff is outstanding! Paul Johnson goes out of his way to make you feel welcome!!!

The worst golf course I have ever played It showed a hot deal at 22 dollars .and I get it it's was cheap..You drive thru a large paper plant and trains are within a 60 degree wedge..I really have never gave a bad review to a business.and I really feel bad because it hurts people's pay...We paid for 18 only played 9...

Unforgettable

Course is in horrible shape, tee boxes could use a weed eater. Not sure about mowing of other areas. Had a little higher expectations with its affiliation with First Tee.

Greens like carpet and not sure when the bunkers were last touched.
