Great course

Other than the greens being a little bumpy this is a great course for all levels. A few challenging par fours but there are many chances to make birdies on some short par fours and fives.

What a surprise! The overall course was in good condition. The tee boxes could use a little care but it’s hard to complain about this given the other aspects of the holes all being positive. The price value was spectacular.

Love the course

I enjoyed the layout. Lots of doglegs. The greens are huge, undulating, true and medium speed. The fairways are hard and the ball will run.

New greens

This is a great course for the average golfer that is very well maintained in a state park. Very rural location, but has just replaced the greens (Feb. 2022) and the fairways are in good shape. As a senior, female golfer this is an especially user-friendly course. Great layout, scenery and wild life. Nice pro shop, but just snacks available.

Worth the Drive

My wife and spend February in St. Simons Island. I saw this course on Golfnow and even though it was an hour drive away, decided to give it a try for the first time last year. I enjoyed the course and decided to go again. The condition of the course has gotten much better - especially the greens and greenside bunkers. All of the green complexes have been redone and the results are impressive. So make the drive and enjoy this course. And stop by Scott's Barbeque in Waynesville for amazing food.

Could make the experience above average

The greens are in great shape. Fairways not bad for this time of year. Tee boxes rough on several holes. Bunkers were I. Good shape. Lady working in clubhouse was rude. There was little to eat. A hot dog would have been nice. When I asked at the turn for a hot dog it was obvious not only was there none at that time but she wasn’t putting any on the rotisserie. The worst part was the grounds crew followed us through the front nine. On ten we asked if they could stay back. I suggest if they are going to cut greens mid day to start at 18 and work backwards. That way you only have to deal with the noise once
