Good quality facilities / infrastructure: nice concrete teepads, decent signage, good baskets, bathroom adjacent to start and shorter 9-hole option adjacent. If you wear shorts, you'll appreciate the hose by the bathroom to clean off your legs, which will be extremely itchy when you finish.

I played this course yesterday and it was one of the least enjoyable rounds I can remember playing. I'll elaborate.

To me, this is an overly ambitious design that isn't appropriate for the setting and terrain. I played at 11am on a sunny summer weekday and was the only person playing either course for the 2 hours I was there ... which is interesting considering its the only course in the region in a good sized college town. I probably wouldn't use this course either if I lived in Statesboro, it's just not fun to play.

As others have said, the course has long, tight fairways carved out of a forest with a few playing in the open. The forest is first growth, with little to no canopy and rampant undergrowth that isn't being properly managed. Maintenance and course condition was bad, even though it was dry when I played so water was a non-issue. The fairways had mid-thigh height ground undergrowth and many of the air routes were partially to fully obscured by branches that had either grown there since the course was installed or were never sufficiently trimmed. If you throw off fairway, which you will, you'll encounter disc eating shule full of constant giant spiders - I've literally never seen more spiders. I only lost one disc, but spent at least 30 minutes of my round looking for other discs.

The holes are punitively long given how tight the fairways are, with little risk/reward. As an example, hole 9 is 408' with low hanging branches, super tight fairway, and OB swamp lurking immediately off fairway right from about 200 to the basket. This would be a lot more reasonable with a 325' range, but at the current length, I imagine nearly all open players would lay up with a putter. On the majority of the holes, you'd be better off laying up than going for it, because the lines are too tight for how long the holes are.

Many of the holes had invalid fairways based on the concept of being able to reasonably throw a disc down a defined line. Some were obscured by growth, some had trees in the middle of the fairway or the throwing line, and some just had unreasonable lines. The par 4's and 5's lack much definition; more of a throw as hard as you can and hope you don't hit a tree than trying to execute a strategic shot.

Many of the holes felt needlessly long and were needlessly blind. None of the holes were memorable in a good way, but I definitely scratched my head trying to figure out the design logic on a bunch of them.

In its current condition, this course was miserable to play ... at least in the summer. I would probably opt not to play at all next time I pass through Statesboro, or will maybe just check out the short 9 holes. If you do play, wear pants, regardless of how hot is and pay close attention to your shanked shots to limit your time looking for lost discs.

Areas for improvement: There are shorter tees, but they are poorly marked with dirt and don't have their own signage. This course is way too long and difficult for the vast majority of players, so the short tees would probably much better suit most people. Case in point, it looks to get very little use, especially for being the only option within 30+ miles.

Consider a redesign or embrace the short tees by adding better teepads and signage to them. Consider taking a chainsaw and pole saw and removing a lot of trees - you know which ones, the ones in the middle of the viable line and the ones that limit the basket's visibility.
