Making Progress

I play here once every 6-8 weeks and have seen some improvements since my last visit in March. Fairways are the highlight, whereas the greens and tee boxes still need some help. Handful of the greens still have a long ways to go but all of them are still playable for the most part. Pace of play was pretty quick being midday and mid-week and very hot. Wasn't a big fan of being paired up since it was fairly empty but understand their need to save on the extra cart. Definitely worth hot rate, but wouldn't go over $20 or $25 until more improvements were made.

New Management, hopeful for improvement

Used to play this course in 2015 now and then, but stopped towards end of year when conditions didn't improve much. It's in pretty rough shape but still have tremendous potential. LOVE the layout, the elevation changes... as picturesque a course from a design perspective, as I've played. Fairways are a bit bare, still bumpy, and greens are 50-70% "cratered". Lots of work needed but new management says they'll turn it around. I would avoid paying more than $20-$25 for now, as it's just not worth more. But I will again play OFTEN if/when they fix it up a bit. Blind tee shots, reachable par 5's, a real shot-makers course. It's a 40 minute drive for me, but I will play at Hot Rate price again.

Beautiful Track!

First time playing this course after hearing good things from friends who play regularly. Had 9am tee time and arrived 40 minutes early - no problem getting on ahead of schedule as it was not crowded. Mike in the Pro Shop was extremely helpful and very friendly; he gave tips on problem holes and clear direction on where range, first tee, carts were located. Course itself was in very good shape - fairways were excellent; ball sat up nicely for approach shots. There were a small handful of greens with heat damage, but it only affected putting on #11 (I believe) - a short par 3 with dramatic elevation change. The course itself had a really nice layout, with a number of blind tee shots, some short par 4s that reward brave shot-making, a handful of true birdie holes, and challenging par 5s. I found the front 9 more difficult than the back but it may have just been due to it being a new course for me. Can't wait to go back - yes it's slightly higher than many in the area, but it's worth the expense. Carts have accurate GPS, and course guide book is very helpful to have!

What a Turnaround!

Played this course in September of 2014 and although the layout was nice, the course was in terrible shape. AWESOME job by the new management and grounds crew in getting this place turned around. Fairways were lush and full, greens in very good shape (with exception of a couple bare spots) - not all that firm yet but still new. Not a huge amount of elevation change but plenty of water. Walkable course. See only more improvements coming, and this will become a favorite in South Atlanta.

Gorgeous Challenging Track

Played last week and enjoyed it so much I went back again booking a Hot Rate at noon-time. Really a great course; fair amount of slope and wide array of tee boxes to choose from. Fairways were in great shape, greens good but players need to repair ball marks! Course provides a good level of risk-reward for those daring shot-makers. Par 3s are long and course management is required to successfully navigate the 4s and 5s. Nice having soft-sand in traps instead of Georgia clay. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food at restaurant was very good - try the Fried Spinach! Will go back often!

Quite a way to go...

Got a good rate for a pre-noon tee time so took advantage to play during stopover on roadtrip. Hadn't played course in about 5 years, and it has definitely gone downhill. New management is making efforts to improve, but it will likely take another year before it's near it's previous condition. Crabgrass and weedgrass in fairways, greens in very rough shape. A real shame, as the course layout and design is fun and just challenging enough for a low-teen handicap. Won't play again anytime soon, just not worth even the reduced green fees (yet!).

Great Layout, excellent fairways

Really enjoyed playing this course - first time but not last! Scenic, strategic hazards, challenging distance and hole locations. Definitely NOT a walking course! Fairways in very nice shape especially for Winter play; roughs are fairly thick but still playable. Greens were good but not great - should shape up nicely for the Spring. Midday/midweek play was quiet...just over 3 hour round for single. Most fairways are pretty forgiving but plenty of fairway and greenside bunkers to keep you making shots.

Shot-makers Delight

First time playing this course after reading favorable reviews. Was not disappointed - course greens were in great shape (except #3), and although the fairways were firm and somewhat bumpy, most did have playable lies/grass. Love the course design, with reachable par 5s and driveable par 4s. Fairways are tight for the most part and there are a multitude of blind drives and/or second shots. For those who hit straight consistently you can really score well, especially if you're daring enough to carry the hazards in front of many of the greens. LOVED to elevation changes. Can tell that this will be a gorgeous course once it greens-up in the Spring. Looking forward to playing again now that I have some experience with it.

Fantastic Value - Nice Course

Booked a GolfNow Hot-Rate for an 11:30 tee time, outstanding value! Arrived at 10:50 and was allowed to start immediately due to lack of golfers. The recent freezes in the area have browned the course, but the fairways are in decent condition and greens very good condition. It's a very comfortable course for those of us who average low-90s, with all but one par-5 reachable in 2. Course is longer than a country-club course but shorter than many of the more challenging courses in the area. It's a very good learning course and would be great for tournaments.

Nice Country Club Setting

Shoal Creek formerly Griffin Country Club course, nicely designed with some water hazards and well placed sand traps. Fairways and greens both in good shape. Course is somewhat short from blue tees, but very few straight holes so is more about course management than length.

I play here regularly and find it a good challenge for intermediate players. The course rewards solid ball-strikers and those who can shape shots left to right and right to left. Rates are very reasonable, especially WInter, and staff is both friendly and knowledgeable.
