General Burnside State Park

Without a doubt the entire staff never ceases to amaze me with their courtesy! Great course!

Really enjoyed this big bold course that was redone in the 90s I believe. Course had large receptive greens in perfect condition, plenty of strategic bunkering and large elevation changes creating many scenic golf holes.

I found Gen Burnside Golf Course slightly challenging, but enjoyable. The only flat surface is on the tee box. Thank goodness for the well laid out asphalt cart paths, and my hat is off to whoever poured all that concrete! This is definitely a rolling, up and down hills course.

The course is normally in good shape and a good layout, however due to some rain and recent aeration of greens it was not up to par.

The Fairways were still dormant but love playing this course.

Everything was great. Fairways, greens, tee boxes. Awesome venue. I play here a lot as a local. If you’re in the area and looking to play a great course this is the place.

Very nice state park course! Fun and challenging!!

General Burnside Island has everything from public parks and picnic areas, to boat ramps and a public pool, but we keeps me coming back is the golf course. I live in the area so I might be a little biased, but I’ve played golf all around the country and I can say without a doubt that Burnside’s golf course is all around one of the best. With good prices and a great staff, from the moment you step into the club house you’re treated like family, I’m not sure if it’s just the southern hospitality, or if they are just amazing people. The manager, Mr. Lynn, is incredibly hospitable, Tonya always has a smile on her face and Steve could fix your swing in a jiffy, if he has the time of course. With an excellent greenskeeping staff the course ALWAYS looks great! Burnside is the perfect course for any golfer at any level, it offers just enough challenge to be tested, and it’s fun enough not to have play like you’re on the tour! I would recommend this course to everyone!

On 12/3/2021, I visited the course with the anticipation of playing nine holes, however, I was told that there were no openings due to lack of carts. Admittedly, I did not have a tee time, was just a walk up, but was told that carts had been sent out that morning to be winterized. The temperature forecast that day was for highs to be in the seventies, so not exactly sure why you would purposely short yourself carts on a prime day for golfing. However, the real consternation that I have over the whole situation was that, after being told no openings due to no carts, as I was leaving, on hole 16, there were 5 golfers with 5 carts. Not real customer friendly business practice.

Really enjoyed playing Burnside again. No crowd today. Very peaceful. Greens were perfect.
