I'll be spending a couple of days in Athens in two weeks at a convention. What's the best course(s) in Athens to play? It's only an hour and half from the house but I've never played a course in Athens.

I'll be there the March 23rd. Staying over somewhere in town the the 22nd. The only event at the convention I plan or have to attend is the student job fair at UGA. So I will have the night of 22nd and probably the night of the 23rd to get a round in.

Well there is really only 2 courses near athens to play. 1st being Sandy Creek Park which is top 10 in GA and def. best around athens. The other park is Herman C. Michael Park which is a lot closer to my house so I usually play it when theres not a lot of time. It is shorter and more beginner friendly. Since your coming March, you will have to get to sandy creek around 4 so that you can get a round in. They close the gate at 6 until April 1'st it switches. That park also cost $2 to park $1 to play. Worth it though. Herman C is fun because its so short. I work the 22 and 23 and wont be off til 5 but can usually get in a round or 2 at Herman C. before it gets to dark.
I'm thinking of being there around the 18th or so for the weekend to hang out with some old students of mine.

Let me know a certain date and i'll try to play a round with you
Sandy Creek is an excellent course. As someone previously mentioned, a likely Top Ten in the State of Georgia. I'd also suggest the following:
Fort Yargo:

and, if you have a little extra time, located about an hour from Athens is Lake Russell:

Looks like my only free time will be the evening of March 23rd. Anyone in the Athens area want to meet up?
