This hidden gem is located about 30 miles west of Atlanta but is easy to find. It is always in top condition, but they just had a tornado a week before we played. The staff did an unbelievable job getting the course in not just playable condition, but excellent condition. The course gets a lot of play, but maintains a resonable pace, usually under 4 hours except on perfect weekends, when you can add 30-45 minutes. The fairways are not overseeded, but are mostly level so balls hit down the middle don't wind up in hazards despite the dormant fairways. The greens are great, but they will aeriate next week around March 11, & 12 I think? Cart girl was present and drink cart well stocked all day.
This course might be the best course for the money in Atlanta. The playing conditions are similar to the Frog, but the cost is much less and the hospitality of the staff makes this an incredible golfing experience and value.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
