The Schwendinger Group, is bringing the "Members Only" course up to par.

Had to wait 45 minutes, past scheduled tee time for a golf cart...cause
The course was packed too capacity on a Tuesday, an absolutely beautifully clear November blue sky, 60 degree afternoon in Georgia.
When a cart finially arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see, Heron Bay Golf Course has upgrade to a new tan colored golf carts with available USB ports.
Happy to see those bluish-green carts (which could be found at midnight) abandon on a fairway, stuck hidden behind a tree, or left on some cart path...broken down) have vanished!
After seeing course conditions extremely decline the past year under the ClubCorp Group (formerly named the Canongate Group)...
The Schwendinger Group, is bringing the "Members Only" course up to par with its Eagle's Brooke and Crystal Lake, sister courses, in Locust Grove and the city of Hampton, Georgia respectively.
The course is extensively well groomed, fairways cropped short and the greens are putting appreciably true, this exquisite November day.
There is great variety for all golfers...
Downhill, and half water surrounded, par 3's...Even, two holes, a par 4 and a par 5's green, overlooking the beautiful Cole Reservoir in Henry County.
My favorite is hole 16, which is surrounded on the front left by 5 or 7 sand traps...Aim to the right!
Thanks GolfNow, played 18 holes for $10.00...
The normal tee rates here, run from $45.00 to $59.00!!!
I still can't believe GolfNow was able to put this excellent golf course on its roster...
You will love playing it too.

Wait Til Spring, 2017...

My first time here...It's mid October, 2016, and no where is more beautiful than Georgia, in the Fall, as the leaves start to change their colors! From the west, Brilliant Colored Airplanes past just overhead, towards Hartford-Jackson, but...I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING TO MYSELF...Why? Cause this is the Worst Shape golf course, I've ever played, in my 6 month career...No, River's Edge, in Clayton County is worst, but that course has been abandon for some 4 years now, but I like to hit balls there, cause it's free!!! You can't tell the Fairways from the Roughs at SouthWind, plus the Greens were like putting on the Beach! I Can't Stop Laughing, cause the sign, where pin locations normally go in a cart, says: "4 Round Special $100.00". Hahaha, GolfNow, thanks for the $10 Hot Deal, but I wouldn't pay $5, to golf here, now...Wait til next Spring, cause this Course is in bad need of a HAIRCUT! In the Spring, of 2017, I am going to put this Course in My Top 3 Courses, right besides, Coweta Club at Arbor Springs, in Newnan, GA. and CrossCreek Golf Club, in the Temecula Valley, California...looking forward to Re-reviewing this course, when bought back from the Ashes, under it's, now week old, new management company...

Ground Hog Day

A Course Marshall came flying out of the woods, in his cart, across my shot line, and I looked up just in time to see Puxatony Phil barreling across the fairway just in front of his pursuer!
What a sight for someone from Georgia, visiting the state of Maryland, where I'm only use to seeing deer or squirrels, as location residents on any of our golf courses.

Other than that surprise moment, I just had one of the most pleasant experiences in my 5 month career of golfing, because I played with 3 of the greatest guys in the world; Joe, Ed and Steve. Locals, who explained the best lines to take, and gave me great advise to help my fledgling game...thanks Y'all, it made for a very pleasant day.

The fairways and roughs are in great shape and well kept on this course, but all of the greens are in bad shape. Too many bare spots, but as Fall and Winter are nearing I don't know what the policies are, for tending a course this far north. That being said, I'd golf here again, because it's a tight, challenging course and is well laid out.

Now, to the GolfNow staff, I'd like you to address a problem I have had for the second time with a course...

I purchase a tee time online, that entitled me to play 18 holes and a golf cart. Joe also purchased 18 holes and a golf cart online...But, the staffer, behind the desk, at White Plains, DEMANDED, Joe and I, to share a Golf Cart, and ride together. Even though, the course was Wide Open, no one in front of us or pressing from behind, the entire time we played, and I saw at least, over 20 empty carts, when we completed play for the day.

So, GolfNow staff, your offered services are not being honored...

On Second Thought...

After successfully playing 20 golf courses in California, for a month and a half, from as far north as Modesto, to as far south as Temecula...I'm back home in Atlanta, Georgia and have decided to gave Crystal Lake Golf and Country Club, a second chance, because it came so highly rated by most golfers I know.

I started off by hitting a bucket of the dirty balls you've ever seen...So,

I'm thinking "Here We Go Again!

But, I spot a gentleman, to my left hitting bright shiny white range balls, So I asked, "Sir, How did you get those shiny white range balls, cause all of mine are dirty!"

And he said," Because I am SPECIAL"
"Huh?!?!"
And He said, Ask anyone here, I am SPECIAL". and he smiled, I laughed, and relaxed for the very first time.
(I later found out...He actually hand picked over 80 balls, from the range ball bin!)

Mr. Special, also advised Me on several golf tips as we both hit balls, from the range, and made Me, a 4 month Golfer, feel right at home on this course.

The front 9 was wide open, the course was in very good condition and played excellent, plus the greens were pretty fast, and the fairways,. well maintained!
What a treat, with a set on brand new clubs, I had the best time and day of my young Golf career and was quite pleased, for having "Second Thoughts"

Had a great lunch of Fried Grouper and Cole Slaw...best tasting white fish ever!

As I started a the back 9, I spotted a familiar face...one of the reasons, I hate this place, So...I tried to hide, but to My surprised I was waved over and invited to join the trio of, Duke, Stan and Mingo.

As we played, the etiquettes of Golf, was explained to Me, as well as tips to help my game, as everyone joked and had a great time!!!

Now, I would like to apologize, for the first review, of Crystal Lake Golf and Country Club.some two months ago, cause I can see My mistakes and poor etiquette.

The Local members here are only concern, plus I have just had the "Best Day of My short Golf Career...
Thanks to Duke, Stan And Mingo...

And so will You! Take a day off work, grab that once or twice a week GOLFNOW, Hot Deal Special, and play this Golf Course. It's Really Worth It!!!

I can now play golf with the Devil, 102 degree here in the shade...

RON MONACO, got me on the course in less than, 60 seconds!!! that's a record, and he did all of this, while handling a client on the phone, at the same time!

GolfNow, clients are welcomed with open arms and no questioned asked, and if been question like a suspect at other courses, who are GolfNow clients.

Last week it was 115 degree, no one was out playing, it's 102 degree today, and fairly crowded, because this is a great course, with a lot of variety.

The course is California Sun Dried, however...But plays very well.

However, most holes are straight and long, with a few slight dogs legs.
Take plenty of water! Stay hydrated and have the best time of your life.

Simply the Best, 9 hole, Par 3, in SoCal, by Far!!!

"Hey, it's 102 degree out there...can I play, in My T-Shirt, Miss???"
California tanned, petite, straight blonde, streaked, shoulder length hair,
a perfect smile, Brittany Thelen answered, "Yes sir of course you can, whatever
makes you comfortable!"

I was kidding of course, but the attractive Blonde wasn't...

Friendliest staffers and very professional too boot. The driving range an all practice facility are the best I've ever seen.

If California is suffering from a drought...it's not evident here, because the grasses are as green as Forest Green, in a Craola Crayon book. And it is better cut than some of the Executive courses, I've played.

This course is a must if you're a visitor form anywhere...Great for working on your short and Iron game!

I'd like to especially thank, staffer, James, who's going into his senior year at SHHS, and is on the Golf team, for sharing his Golf Balls with Me, on the driving, with a smile.

No staffer, has ever done that for me, thanks, and good luck in your senior year!

Come play here, GolfNow as the best price in the World!!!
$5.00, 9 holes, who can beat that?

Huh? But, All The Holes are Straight Shots!

That guy in the Beatnik Hat and Plaid colorful pants is Jordan, been coming in early for 15 years, watching the Sun come up, over the San Gabriel Mountains. Friendlessness, golf Staffer I've come across, and he love his job, although, He'll never be a millionaire. Thank you Jordan...
Now, I loved playing this course, but...if I am objective...This is a Municipal Golf course in poor condition.
It's just as you get into the foothills of Altadena, and it's HOT!
Every hole is straight, so there is no challenge, as far as position your ball on more challenging courses. Only the 9th hole has a slight dog leg.
All that being said, I would play this course, everyday if I could, and you'll want to too! So come on out and meet Jordan.

Best Par 3 course ever!

John Mascarenas, give Jay a raise! Jay had me on the course in 3 minutes!!! I'm not kidding. Accepted GolfNow, tee time, without question (I've had problems at other courses before). This course winds gently up a canyon, average distance to a hole is 64 to 75 yards, so...
Leave your golf bag in the car, pull out a putter, pitch, and 60 degree or Sand Wedge.
Best course ever to work on your short game, green are well kept and fast. some fairways show sun damage, but this is Dry California (no rain) and I will not fault you for that...
There's a Bar, in this A-Framed Shack, of a building...Best hamburgers and coldest beer ever!
If you're from Atlanta, like me and want to work on your short game, this is the place, Thank Jay (Verdugo Hills Golf Staffer) for a Great Time!

Right next to LAX, and just as Busy...

Arrived last, for 6:45am tee time, after 7:00am, women's league just started, yikes!
Luck for Me staffer, Brenton, took care of everything, very professionally, I might add.
Because, L.A. was having one of those Glorious Sunny Days, with a breeze blowing from off the Ocean...

Groups of 4 were going out every 5 minutes, and people were still trying to get tee times!

However, Brenton and his Manager, Cliff Webb , set Me up with 3 of the nicest Golfers, Chris, Greg and Scott, for a Beginner to play with.

1 par 5, but mostly par 3 and 4 mixed in all over, great for short, middle and long game. True and fast greens. Fairways are in great shape. Great Pro Shop, but pricey! Not like Georgia, Ha!

If you are from out of state, bring your sticks, cause its Right by The Airport!!!

The Best Course, i've ever seen or played...

Dear Woody,
Diablo Grande – Ranch Course, is everything you said it was, (and I should have bought more balls!)
Desert Dry California, drive up a winding road of rolling hills, a Golf Course, once on the PGA Tour, Greener than any Golf Course I have ever seen, springs out!
If you ever get to San Jose, Modesto or even San Francisco…get to Patterson, California, Golfers you wouldn’t be disappointed, it simply that great a course. You have to See and Play it Yourself, to appreciate its beauty, because the darkest green, fairways, greens, roughs, are surrounded by the beauty of the native wheat, or straw grasses, wild rabbits, and deer roam free about…

It is immaculate, it’s the most beautiful course I’ve ever played, every hole is guarded by “potatoes”, there are dog legs left and right, elevation changes. And what I really like about it…every hole…
The staff is great, Tommy especially, Chandra also…I’m a visitor from GEORGIA, and was offered, to be picked up and brought to the course if need be! You can’t BUY service like that…I’m gonna play this course as much as I can, before my vacation ends, and You will too!.

Love the outside Bar...

Where is the 11th and 12th hole???

I will never play this course again, I met two of the rudest Golfers in my life, definitely not a course for a beginner, or first time player to this course, unless You are given the oddities of this course first...

1) Hole 3, leads you directly into hole 8, which any normal person would think is hole 4. If by chance, after you've finish hole 3 and happen to be staring downward while driving, it's noted on a rock, "Hole 4 is to the right, not to the left where a tee box is staring you in the face. POOREST SIGNAGE EVER.

2) Finished hole 10, followed cart path, which lead me straight to hole 13. My luck, was a maintain worker, who pointed out a RED cattle gate, which hides hole's 11 and 12. Again, POOREST SIGNAGE EVER...

Locals, police this course, with a vengeance, and are quick to point out any and all mistakes you might make. FOR PROFESSIONAL ONLY!

This course came highly recommendated, but, I can't see why....

Hi "SullenOne" we apologize that you did not have a nice time out on the course and are sorry for any confusion you experienced out there. We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback. Anyone new to the course will probably appreciate it as well. Again, we are sorry that you did not have a nice experience out on the course and hope you will come see us again soon.

This Will Be My Home Field :)

Dear Woody,

It rained off and on, but this is Georgia, weather changes every 10 minutes...
Between ducking under a tree, I just had the best Golf Experience in my short career!
Thank-You Ashton, behind the front desk, for welcoming Me, and explaining everything I needed to know...

Paula, is a great bartender, makes the best bloody Mary's ever...
Got a membership form from Jeremy, very personable, didn't need to do a pitch, cause...I'm Hooked!
And had the greatest time chatting with staff member Chris, about the course, its history, and anything in general...

You've never been here? Find It, come and play, You won't regret it!
Great scenery, great course condition, but...watch out for the, "I don't care Deer, because, I live here!"

Deer walk the fairways, fearlessly...fawns right behind.

You'll love holes 6 and 7 especially...

I walked Pebble Beach once, to repair a phone line, on one of there hole, when I worked for AT&T.

This course is JUST as Beautiful, I mean that...

You in Atlanta, find a Map, locate this course, and drive...
You won't regret it, promise...

Oh, oh, oh...They play Poker on Tuesday Nights!! And have bands playing on Friday nights too!!!

So, come join in the fun!!!

Golfers, with negative comments about Mary Calder Golf Club, please be advised…
in less than a month, 2 greens mower, 1 Cushman, 1 rough mower, 1 Gator (Use to pull weed sprayer), and 1 Fairway mower have been stolen or vandalized, at this Golf Course, which at best is on a Shoe String Budget.
Further, please stop calling this a “Golf Course in the middle of an Industrial Park…
Simply walk into their entrance, turn right, there on the wall is an Aerial photo of Mary Calder, opening day 1937, with tennis courts, where now stand their driving range.

An Industrial Park sprung up…around Mary Calder Golf Club.
Is this course rough? Yes, it could use some help, but it is perfectly playable, given the above.
As a matter of fact, I saw a grounds keeper, mowing, with the same riding mower I have back in Atlanta…no kidding! The staff is trying its best, under the circumstances
For the last 8 years, Michael Pope has champion, The First Tee Organization, from this location, helping children learn to play and love golf. I checked, before I came down to visit my Mother…There are no municipal golf courses in Savannah. This course is a Great value: You can pay $15 during the week and golf ALL DAY LONG, with a cart! Same goes for the weekend; $20 gets you all day too!
I have only been golfing for 2 months, my Wife, has now joined Me, and this was only her second time on the Links…WE LOVED IT.
Great friendly staff, especially Michael Pope, and not 1 rude golfer on the 9 hole course…
People were telling Me, they needed to get their Wives, children or that Uncle, who wants to learn to play, out on the course.
This is Savannah’s last hope for the common Man. Unless You are rich (Which I am not) and can pay the $105 greens fee at The Club at Savannah Harbor, this is the best golf value, ever!
If there are any Big Businesses, Philanthropies, Anyone…please help out, in any way you can.
GOLFNOW, I think it best suits you, too send a rep, and check out the situation, because if this course fails, you’re going to lose a lot of clients.
While, You and I are working during the day, someone is sleeping...
At night, when you and I are asleep, someone, who’s been sleeping all day, wakes up and wrecks havoc on this world.
Don’t let individuals like that win, help support Mary Calder Golf Club!

Revived from the Ashes

Formerly Griffin Country Club, now under new ownership since 2013, I was pleasantly surprised to find, that Silver Haired Southern Gentleman, who has owned Hickory Hills Golf since 1980, is the new owner of this Club now.

The par 4's play like par 5's and the par 5's play like par 6's! If that is legal...
Wide open fairways surround each holes, and if You like hitting the long ball, this is the course for you, because...It plays LLLLLOOOONNNNGGGG....

Summer sun has dried it a bit, but it's perfectly playable and well kept, greens are firm and fast, with a bare spot, or two on some holes...

Great overly friendly and helpful staff.

Their sandwich counter is simply the best bargain, on any Golf Course, I've played; $5.00 will get you a Hand Made sandwich, bag of chips and a 12 oz soft drink... Yummm

Best Pro Shop, I've seen, (except Hickory Hills) a Golfer's paradise.

Cheap Price, Rude Players

Rude advanced golfer and friend jumped in front of me, even though, I was teed up already...said I was playing too many balls. (How did he know, I hadn't taken a shot yet!)

So, I'm a beginner, but I wait for him and his friend, to get to their balls, about 180 yards away...
Took My tee shot, called 4, and buzzed a perfect slice right over both there heads, landing 10 feet away...

Got flipped off, I don't care, I dislike rude golfers, who have no patience for beginners.

He tells a Marshall, I hit a ball at Him, I told the Marshall, He cut in front of Me!
Anyway, Marshall said, He's been play there for years, and Me?

I'm a Beginner...Who do You think, story got believed???

Oh, the one nice person I did meet, was a children's golf teacher...take My picture for Me...Thank You Miss!
Will not play there ever again, despite low price...

I would post My picture, the nice golf teacher took, but I fear reprisals may be taken against Me for what I just wrote, and I absolutely Love this Game, I'm just beginning to learn how to play!!!
