Detailed description of Orchard Hills Golf Course
Orchard Hills Golf Course is located in Newnan, Georgia. Orchard Hills is a Public 27-hole facility with three 9-hole courses. Orchard Hills was build to replicate a Scottish links-style course. And two of the 9-hole courses come close to this goal. Orchard Hill’s three 9-hole courses are: The Orchard (3,006 yards), The Logo (2,946) and The Rock Garden (2,941). The Orchard and Logo are links courses. The Rock Garden resembles the more typical Georgia fairways lined by pine trees course format.
The courses at Orchard Hill were designed by Don Cottle, Jr. The Orchard and Logo courses first opened for play in 1990. The Rock Garden opened 6 years later in 1996. All three courses play to a par of 36, and two courses combined form a challenging par-72, 18 hole championship layout.
The course rating for the 9-hole Orchard course is 73.4 and the slope rating is 131.
The course rating for the 9-hole Logo course is 73.4 and the slope rating is 134.
The course rating for the 9-hole Rock Garden course is 70.4 and the slope rating is 132.

Enjoyed the golf, but not the price I had to pay to play. Too high for what you got. Some of the holes were fun, but most were not memorable. Maybe I am just not into a links style course. Looks to much like a golf course dropped on undulating terrain with roughs rougher than normal and high grasses instead of trees. Also the lay out was sometimes confusing.
The greens were nice. However, if they do not start making players fix their divots, the greens are going to get bad. The warm up area was nice.
As far as what you would call a signature hole, I really did not see any. If I had it to do over, I would not have played at Orchard Hills. For the same price, there has to be a better place within 45 miles of the place. 45 miles is about the distance one has to expect to drive in that area to play golf.
I live in Central Georgia, Macon/Warner Robins area. In my area Orchard Hills would be considered lower half of middle of the pact compared to other courses in Middle Georgia and would be priced about $25 instead of $50+. Maybe I am just spoiled by better golf, better course, superior maintenance and ambiance for half the price.

Most of the nicer clubs in the Newnan area are private and expensive. White Oak for example is around $65.00 if you are playing as a guest. For the price and quaility I would choose Oachard Hills over any other course within 20 miles.
