Boring "course" and layout 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 30, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Has 6 baskets and some pretty awesome Live Oak trees.........better than nothing! Without the cool trees, I'd give the course a failing grade.

Cons:

Even as a solid beginner player, I found this course quite easy and unmemorable. The sand tee boxes seemed more like tripping hazards so I teed off to the side of them.

Several random cars, trailers and junk sitting around just off the course took away from some of the view.

Other Thoughts:

I highly recommend making the drive to Honey Creek if staying in the St. Simons Island area. It's a far better course and challenge.

Better than nothing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 26, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very nice signs. The live oaks and setting make it a pretty course. A good place to try for a hole-in-one. Canopy not so low that you can't go the whole distance with a nice drive, so there is some technique practice.

Cons:

Only 6 holes. Tees are sand pits so I played in front of them to avoid filling my shoes with sand.
Dog walkers. Parked cars. Low canopy.

Other Thoughts:

Very short holes, but since you'll likely be the only one there (other than parked cars and people walking their dogs) you can easily recreate your own layout.

I don't recommend going out of your way to play this course, but St. Simons is its own destination so give it a try when you're on the island but don't expect much.

Nice trees, too bad the dogs like them too 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 30, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful stately oaks
Course easy to navigate

Cons:

Dog shit and unleashed dogs everywhere
6 holes
Remote location
Tee pads consist of timbers with mound of dirt that's been dug out, safer to just use dirt next to tee

Other Thoughts:

Despite the signs reminding people of the county leash law I saw 7 unleashed dogs running all over and crapping where they pleased without anyone even thinking of curbing their dog's waste. People parked anywhere they please, frequently right in a fairway. Retirement housing area adjacent means this is where people take their dogs all the time to crap, I saw them coming and going from there to the park. You need to play with your head down to dodge the dogshit minefield. I won't be back. Playing here early in the morning is a mistake.
