Very enjoyable

My wife and I played the course to celebrate our 52nd anniversary. Course has a nice layout with adequate water, plenty of sand, nice greens. Sand traps were wet or full of water due to previous day rain. We stayed at a very nice Best Western in Cordele -- but also have stayed at the Lake Blackshear Resort. Both are super -- one of our favorite and economical getaways.

Another super GA State Park Course

Highland Walk is a very nice course and very well maintained. A lot of hills and doglegs, but a good design. Greens are plush - but could be a bit faster.
I would rate it as the second best State Park Course in the state just behind Arrowhead Pointe.

Thanks for your comments about the course and the well maintained conditions. Your assessment of the greens speed is accurate. Normally, they are faster, but the Superintendent is getting them ready for the colder weather. Once, this process is complete, we'll also roll them during the winter to maintain a good speed.

Nice Course

The Hopedale course was only 9 holes which we played twice -- but it was in very good shape. The greens were excellent and the fairways thick and lush

Great - Hot Deal

We played this hot deal as we traveled from Raleigh to Atlanta. Will definitely watch for it again. Very interesting layout with a good deal of variety and distances. Some of the greens had surface problems, but nothing that disrupted our game. Fairways were good and rough was reasonable. Sand in good conditioin

Great - Hot Deal

Course is designed by Davis Love III -- Very good layout and probably excellent in its day. Grass was a bit long -- difficult rough -- but mowing was a bit uneven. Greens very undulating -- but also slow

Nice Course

Very nice course -- a bit long and narrow and definitely challenging. A few greens were struggling but overall course is in good shape for late summer with the heat we have had. Traps were a bit wet and hard -- but with the deluge we had yesterday that kept us from playing - the course had dried well today. We had feared it would be cart path only -- but the course drained well and was ready for today

Beautiful course

The judge is a very challenging and beautiful course. 14 hole have water -- coming into play at least 10 times. Island par 3 and two other par three's over water. Fairways and sand traps were in great shape. Only thin marginal were the greens, possibly because they were recently sanded and watered -- but one green had some real health problems. The greens are large with a lot of undulation. Overall -- the course is very good -- would love to play it again

Good course

My wfe and I played on Dec 30 so it is hard to determine the turf condition, The layout was very interesting with narrow fairways, a good deal of sand (that could be better kept). Greens had a lot of contour -- many doglegs, a good deal of water in play and very long par fours. A few of the greens had some patchy problems -- but overall a good course for the money - recently purchased by the community residents.
