Worth The Drive

Exceptional course with conditions that the majority of private courses could only hope to rival. Worth every bit of the 1 plus hour drive from my north florida home. I could only hope that north florida had a course like this. Thank You for a great day of golf.

Greens are in great shape!

Fast greens and open fairways! Just wish they would get a beverage cart.

Most play

Weather was outstanding. Fairways/Greens in great shape. Cart-paths could use some repairs. I’ve been playing this course about 6 times a year. Worth over an hour drive from Jacksonville, Fl

Best value in Southeast Georgia! Greens have good on probation but not scary. Greenspeed runs between 10 and 12. Plenty of grass in the fairways and rough. Good challenge from any set of tees. Really hard to lose a golf ball here. Played it 20 to 25 times

Great recovery

I played the lakes yesterday. I reserved my round on the golf now app as a hot deal. The deal was not the only hot thing. It was brutally hot, but their were the normal amenities to help with the heat. Water coolers were full and there is a good bit of shade.

The night before there was a storm that came through southeast Georgia with damaging winds. Due to debris on the coarse we started on the back 9. All 18 holes were pretty well cleaned by the time we got to each hole.

Pure

I normally don’t leave reviews on things. But I remember when this course pre Covid was a 1 star course, very poor maintained but This place has done a complete 360 , It’s a short easy course , no houses , FAST greens (my preference), and it’s worth the price. I feel like it’s one of the only courses in the 912 area that hasn’t lost their minds when it comes to the price to play golf ,
