ALMOST GREAT

I am a greenskeeper by profession, I’m also a single digit handicap. Keep this in mind when you read this because I’m just telling you the real stuff no fluff, no bias. Maggs has the flat valley front and the hilly ridge back. Bear this in mind, your handicap will get it’s workout. The staff here does an great job keeping the course in good playable condition. That said you will not find lighting fast greens here.. and the rough is deep enough to slow your roll. (If they cut some of the par 5 and long 4s down more the pace of pace would be faster, just saying guys)
- [ ] 6 holes your shooting blind into as you do most mountain courses. OK NOW LISTEN UP !!! DO NOT BOOK A TEE TIME ON A TUESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING !!! I don’t have any problem with any group as long as they maintain the proper pace of play, and repair their ball marks.For this course is 10 min average per hole. So if you show up here be ready for that. It’s popular and the parking lot was full by 9. But on Tues and Thurs mornings the ladies hold court and there is no Marshall to enforce the standard.
- [ ] The driving range is good, grass and mats out to 240 yards. They maintain a very nice short game area for every wedge in your bag out to 70 yards, only thing missing is a practice bunker... oh well no biggie. The greens here are very nice and local knowledge paramount. Ghost breaks and speedy tiers will make you wanna draw a proper greens book. Overall the time to get here and price for the golf is a toss up. If your staying here then it’s a no brainer. During my round a saw the refreshment cart twice on the back 9.. which is nice. But I had to push my electric cart up the hills on the back 9... they don’t use gas powered so make sure your is fully charged or you will not make it around. Will I come back.. perhaps.. but not on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Great little course

Great little course to hone your short game. Greens just got punched. Recommend play it 15 May. Too bumpy for good putting right now. Sand traps are a wreck from the rains. Great course and driving range. AWSOME value.

Wait till MARCH

Greens are rolling a 10 and putting was a joy.
Bermuda still sleeping, Wait till the March wake up.
If you don’t like Hills of Hideousness .. just play the front 9. The back 9 is a painful experience. When a par 4 plays 500 yards uphill it’s no longer fun for most players.

You owe it to yourself to pay here

Family owned and operated. Once a huge farm now a golf course with wide fairways, intelligent design and really good greens. You will enjoy the driving range (grass) and the large putting green (7 practice holes) and a small chipping area. Tee off on the wide lower par 5 across flowing creeks, wind your game around the front using almost every club in the bag. On to the back and one of the best par 4s in north Georgia. Come on home with another getable par 5 and you will be all smiles. Every time I play here I meet some of the best people that can ball. Men’s league on Mondays. Reinhardt University Golf teams play here too so now you know why. 4 beers on tap, mixed drinks too at the 19th hole. Some small lunch items available too. It’s playing really good right now. Highly recommended !

Be prepared to have a 5 hour round

This is a SEMI private golf course.. which means that if your not a member... be prepared. Soooo enjoyed waiting all day (not) behind a member and their kids dropping and hitting 2 and 3 balls at time..: yes, for real. No Marshall to help to fix the issue.. Tied up the GC for the whole afternoon. Bailed after 13 because 4 hours had already elapsed. Pointless. I understand that your new to the game, we all have been there however... what are we teaching here to allow this ? Bad ethics. Never coming back recommend you don’t waste your time and $.

Mr. Dodds,

Could you give me more specifics into your experience? I would like to know the day, time, and reservation name of when you played.

I do not support practicing on the course because of the experience you endured. This information will help me narrow down who might have been the players.

Thank you for your help.

It’s good but not great

Enjoy the fungus and strange breaks in these greens. I’ve played a lot of golf for a lot of years but I can’t figure out these greens. This time it was the chopped toadstool stems... crazy. In all honestly.. you should go to Chestatee or Fairwys of Canton for a better day of golf.
