I live in Toccoa, and I play here every couple weeks, probably. I think it's a moderately challenging course, with a few easy holes sprinkled in for those whose morale is hard-pressed. Almost every time I play here, the course is looking pretty good. It's in a beautiful, natural setting, and the upkeep is generally pretty solid. The holes play out in a variety of ways - not much repetition. It also stays pretty quiet out there (when camps aren't during the summer, that is); I've literally never run into another player on the course.

The only things that could be considered cons aren't really negatives in my mind. It's only a 9-hole course, which can be a bummer when you want to play 18 (or more), but there's an easy fix for that - just play through 2 or 3 times, like I always do. That leads me to the other negative. It's at least a quarter-mile walk from Basket 9 back to Tee 1. I don't mind that at all, but this will detract from the course's value for a lot of people. I don't include these negatives in my rating, because you'll want to know up front that you're getting into a 9-hole course that will require extra walking, and I think the course upkeep and design deserve a rating of 4.5.

I really enjoy this course, and the 9-hole aspect of it has often been beneficial. I've often been able to convince friends who don't want to play for as long as I do to play Camp Mikell with me; they bow out after 9 holes while I play 9 more, and they get a quick, short round in while I get to enjoy both the advantages of playing with friends and playing alone.

Very short course in an incredibly beautiful valley that used to be occupied by Cherokee Indians. The course itself runs along and across the Little Toccoa Creek. The course takes roughly 30-45 minutes to complete, so it's worth a visit if you've just finished a round at a nearby course. The course has a decent variety of open and wooded shots for a nine hole course.

Many of the hole have good fun factor, which is the most redeeming quality of the course.

The course is sporadically unavailable as the camp Mikell campus is often hosting events all year round. If you are worried about it, call ahead as their website does not provide a schedule.

The tee points are pitiful, as they are just dirt, and are often growing over with poison ivy. Only some of the holes have names, and often the only information about the hole is what number it is. This can be confusing for newcomers, especially on holes 2, 6, and 8.

This course is probably not worth a visit unless you're already in the area.

Good parking can either be found at the turn around right before the first field, or in a larger parking lot near the nature center at the end of the course. You will have to walk either way as the course does not loop.

The course was really constructed for people and staff apart of the camp Mikell community, so take it for what it's worth. The course itself is quaint, and fun for the people with immediate access to it, not much more.
