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 ,

Great public course

Well maintained public course with very kind staff. Close to camping and fishing at the state park and sightseeing at swamp park if you want to make a mini vacation.

Great Georgia Park Golf Course

My wife and I both enjoy the course. The greens are great and consistent since being upgraded a couple of years ago. The tee block locations ensure that the course is fair for both men and ladies.

Great place to play

Staff is always very friendly. Busiest times are usually from 8-12. The course is always in good condition. Greens are usually pretty fast. I golf here very regular and will continue to play here.

Peaceful. Fun. Challenging enough!

Tee time 10:20. 2-some. Arrived 15 minute before tee time. Was told our time tee time was moved to 10:25. We watched a 4- some tee off at 10:20. We could have kept our time; 4-some tee off after us. 10:36 we still couldn't tee off.
Asked 4-some to let us go through. They areed.
We enjoyed playing 17 holes.

Moving us behind the 4-ome was unacceptable!

Great Escape

This course is off the beaten path and that's great. No noise as it's out in the middle of a state park. Turf conditions here are excellent. The new Tiff Eagle greens have been filling out for some time and they are fantastic. Firm and fast. Fairways and tee boxes are beautiful as well. Plus beautiful scenery. Caught it on a hot deal and I will be back for sure.
