2 in one
The front is a nice layout in the pines. The back is a wide open!
Beautiful course
Fromt nine is in a wooded area and the back nine is in a big open field. Loved it.
The tale of two nines
Two courses in one. Traditional 9 on the front and links course on the back. The Sunday morning staff is always excellent. Can’t say enough good things about those young ladies. I play here often and always enjoy my round. Sometimes there can be a problem with young kids not having the correct etiquette. But they are young and keeping the game and course going through the future.
Course is decent for time of year but greens do need some attention. Would like a slightly later cart return time but understandable due to daylight savings and staff shortage. Would be nice to see the drink machines return to the back 9.
Taking the guys back
Our group of 7 played 27 today in perfect weather...front, back & front.
The greens are in great shape, although we did average 3 to 4 extra mark repairs per green.
They need a Marshal...lots of unfilled divots in the fairway.
Ran out of sand on the front and no sand jugs at the turn.
The front side is a classic rolling terrain pine tree lined 9 holes.
Pay attention to your tee shot yardages on #5 & #7...too far is trouble.
Lots of dog legs that go one way and the fairways slope the other direction.
The back side is something I want to see in the late spring...South Georgia Links Golf.
Fairways and rough are dormant along with the adjacent hay fields... hard to pick your line when everything is tan in color.
Spent the day aiming at the 150 yd. striped pole
Greens hold approach shots well. Lots of up hill approaches ... add a club.
Looking forward to a return trip.
Great course but slow
This is a great course but a slow one
This doesn’t reflect on the stuff as much as the players
Because of the amount people who take their whole groups with them it becomes annoying with the wait because for some reason a lot of players here do not just say hey you can play through they will watch a single player wait for a group of 8 tee off
Maybe the course Marshall should assist or make designated times for groups larger than 4
Two different courses
Front 9 is what you would expect of a Georgia course. Lots of trees, tricky layout where you really need to position your shots. No water. Back 9 is like Scotland. Wood open, but with tall grass. You better stay in the fairway. You can see every hole and player on the back 9.
Ok course with terrible staff
The course is in ok condition with the greens needing some work, but the staff and policies are atrocious. The back 9 closes at 6, ok, whatever. But then the so called "course marshal" comes up to my group at 5:40 and says that we "won't have time to finish" and that we need to "head back to the front 9. Which, btw, the front 9 closes at 6:30 even though we are in south Georgia in the summer where it doesn't get dark until 8:30. So we head to the 7th hole. Play that and the 8th. Then as we are teeing off for the 9th the supposed "course marshal" again approaches my group and tells us that the "carts have to be back my 6:30 and it's 6:30". Really??? We had 3 holes left on the back 9 and we had to head back, then after a 10 minute drive through a swamp, we are told we can't even finish. It's ridiculous. Not to mention the signs up that say it's illegal to play with range balls on the course as well as dozens of other rules. So needless to say we will play other, better courses from now on that might be a little further of a drive but are so worth it compared to the bullcrap that is Brazell Creek golf course.
