The Golf Course at Blueberry Plantation
About this course
The Golf Course at Blueberry Plantation sits in Alma, a small city in southeast Georgia's Bacon County, roughly midway between Waycross and Vidalia. Designed by Larry Hinson and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies former agricultural land characteristic of Georgia's coastal plain region. The property's name reflects its history as a working blueberry farm before conversion to golf use. Hinson, a regional architect based in Georgia who designed several courses across the Southeast during the 1990s and early 2000s, routed the layout through gently rolling terrain typical of the area. The course features pine-lined fairways and strategic bunkering that define landing areas and frame greens. Water comes into play on multiple holes, with ponds and wetland areas that reflect the natural drainage patterns of the coastal plain. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough challenge to test better players. The facility operates as a public-access course serving both local residents and travelers passing through this part of rural Georgia. The setting provides a quiet, pastoral golf experience away from more developed coastal areas, with the surrounding landscape dominated by pine forests and agricultural fields. The course represents the type of affordable daily-fee golf that expanded across smaller Southern communities during the 1990s development boom.

Getting there
The journey to The Golf Course at Blueberry Plantation begins at Jacksonville International Airport in Florida, roughly ninety minutes south across the Georgia line, or from Savannah/Hilton Head International to the east - both offering straightforward access to this corner of South Georgia's agricultural heartland. The drive north from Jacksonville traces I-95 before cutting inland through vast stretches of pine forest and working farmland, the landscape flattening into the quiet, unadorned terrain of Bacon County. As you approach Alma along Highway 1, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - roadside stands give way to ordered rows of blueberry fields, and the course emerges as an unexpected oasis of manicured fairways amid one of the region's most productive berry operations.
