Great Course

Don’t miss out on playing the GA state park courses. Well maintained. Only problem is if your from out of town is accommodations at some of them.

Awful

I have played this course many times in the past 4 years and this is undoubtedly the worse it has ever been, the greens are completely dead. The putts go anywhere.. and they want $60 a round for the weekend, wouldn't play here for $25. Embarrassing!

Awful. Just atrocious

This used to be one of my golf groups favorite courses. It is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen. May be the worst course I’ve played. Idk if the state cut their funding but something needs to be done.

Sad

This is a state park golf course and it doesn’t make any sense for poor the conditions of the greens and fairways. This is no more than a $20 course.

Wet and bumpy

Can't blame anyone but Mother Nature. Really bad overnight storm and the course couldn't handle it. To bad because it's usually in such great shape!

First Time Playing

nice course for the money

We played here on the way from Orlando to Atlanta. Course should be really nice in the summer. The course should be Veteran Memorial Golf Course otherwise you can not find it in GPS. It will take you to a wrong place. The stuff are the best. One of us lost a range finder and we called the course and they shipped back to us.

Bunkers are almost unplayable! And most of the greens are awful! And the price is outrageous for no better shape than the course is in!!

Great when it's dry!

Consistent smooth Greens with lots of bite. Fairways were consistent also and the lies were more than reasonable. Bunkers were firm and playable (for some of us!).
Highly recommended.
