Will definitely play here again.
My son and I went here with a Hot Deal from Golf Now. Played 18 holes for only $10 each, cart included. The front nine is gorgeous with it's trees and natural forage. There were a couple of greens that were not in the best of shape but you could tell the course was trying to correct the problem. The back nine in fairly new and was built in a hay pasture. Everything is open but is in very good shape. In a couple of years, the back nine should be as nice as front nine. Overall, we had a great time and WILL be visiting again.
Good potential but poorly maintained
The layout is unique with the front fairly narrow and tree lined and the back a links style course. Conditions were not good, and greens were slow and bumpy. Even with the "hot deal" the value isn't there.
Great Course
Course was in great condition and friendly staff. Got a hot deal tee time and couldn't beat playing for 12 bucks. The front nine is a good challenge and the links style back nine is wide open and easy birdie opportunities.
Brazells Creek
There is not another course like this one that I have EVER seen. The front nine is relatively tight with trees everywhere. However, the back nine is like being on a whole other course. The back is very similar to the 2015 U.S. Open course in Washington with a links style feel. The course could be in better shape than it is but is so different for this area.
Course fees
If you can't get the hot deals it is not worth the price after you pay for golf and for a non playing rider fee. Several courses within 50 mile radius have better all day prices and do not charge rider fees. State park courses should not be that expensive especially in Reidsville, Ga
Very Scenic
Lots of wildlife on the course. Perfect conditions.
Hidden secret
Course is in very good condition. Greens and fairways are good due to the new superintendent that was hired last summer. If you haven't played this course in the past 6 months you need to try it now.
Good and unique course. Beware of showing up just past your tee time though. Guy behind counter will hassle you and threaten not to honor your o price
Really unique. Front 9 is standard golf with good layout decent greens. Greens are a little bumpy but suitable for a day out just don't expect tour quality but they're overall good. Back 9 is worth while though! Not one tree exist on the whole course (except ob). It's like a links style and will play tricks on your distance judgment. Plus hazards are king sand traps full of brush that makes finding the ball difficult and hitting just as difficult. Fairways are key here. Go out of the fairways or first cut and 9 out of 10 times have stroke n distance. A miss of the fairway not in the hazards means knee high grass that you'll probably never find your ball in. Very enjoyable overall.
State Park
Raining, so course was empty allowing me to play in under 3 hrs.....Both nines were good, but completely different, with the back side being wide open and the front fairly tight. Greens were fair to good and would go back again.
Better than before
I have played this course twice, and the first time wasn't too impressive. I also played the first time while it was warm and this second time when it was overcast around 55 degrees and felt like 45. The greens are in decent condition, slow roll which I am not fond of but the course is in better condition than before. I will go back because the price isn't bad and it's a nice drive over there. I hope this course continues to get better and would like to play during warmer conditions.
Awesome golf course
Very different styles between front nine and back nine. Very fun and challenging. Try it.
Fair golf course for any golfer.
We stayed at the state park and played our second day camping. We are playing again before we leave. We enjoyed the course. Very fair course for any golfer. Loved the back nine - very open and flat.
Great Deal
I haven't been to this course in over 2 years. It looks in a lot better shape now than it did before. I live only 6 miles away from the course, so when a hotdeal comes up, I book it. However, the bucket of range balls is a little pricey if you decide to warm up before play.
Tale of 2 nines
I haven't played this course since I was in college back in the early 90's. The front nine was exactly what I remembered. It was short but fun. The fairways were nice and the greens were in decent shape. The back nine is new and more of a modern course feel. It is long from the back tee which is made difficult by the windy conditions. It seems every hole is guarded by bunkers. The greens are a little quicker on the back nine as well. I didn't think the back nine had much character except for holes 16, 17 and 18. These were great as they had more terrain and trees. Tee shot on the par 3 17th is beautiful! I would recommend this course but you will definitely shoot higher on the back so take advantage of the front.
Two ridiculously different nines.
Front nine is old school, probably opened/designed in the 60's and not in very good shape. Back nine, once you get there, might as well be on a different planet. No wind on the front nine, but 20 to 30 mph winds on the back. If I ever go back I will ask if I can play the back nine twice, but you should play the front nine once to appreciate how cool the back nine is. Summation: never want to play the front nine again...would play the back nine everyday the rest of my life if I could.
Good Round
The price is right for this course. The front nine is parkland and the back is links style. There is no water but that does not mean that you wont lose balls. You will find this course to be a pleasant surprise.
Forgot the Bug Spray
Played afternoon hotdeal so the the value was great. Course conditions on front nine OK but a few of the greens need reworking. Front nine layout typical parkland course winding through trees. After the long ride to the back nine was amazed to see a pure links layout. Wide fairways etc.. Conditions much better then front. Luckily I was in atleast 5 bunkers, sand was compact which made easy outs, on the conditions side saw qyuite a bit of grass growing in some of them? Green speed was slow!, easy to lag but hard to hole putts. Hole 17 very nice par 3, had a 15 foot birdie put die right in front of the hole. On the down side is the amount of knats from the first tee through the course. Glad my pace of play 2 hours allowed me to keep moving, if you stay in the same place for more than 30 seconds you got swarmed. Would play again but bring the bug spray..
A great State Park Course
Great overall course and conditions. Minor green problems but did not effect play.
Up Keep
Will not play there again until they get the first nine up to standards, mostly sand around the tee, very poor. 10 thru 18 were in good condition?
Good course
Greens are still trying to come in but overall good course.
