Little Fishing Creek Golf Course

Little Fishing Creek Golf Course sits in the rolling piedmont landscape of central Georgia, approximately twenty miles northeast of Macon near the small town of Milledgeville. Designed by Gary Player and opened in the early 2000s, the course occupies terrain typical of the region—gently undulating hardwood forests with natural creek corridors and modest elevation changes that create variety without severe slopes. The routing takes advantage of the property's namesake waterway, with Little Fishing Creek coming into play on several holes and providing both strategic interest and scenic definition. Player's design philosophy here emphasizes strategic options from the tee and approaches that reward course management, with bunkering placed to challenge longer hitters while offering bailout areas for those playing conservatively. The greens feature moderate undulation consistent with Player's work from this period, requiring careful attention to pin positions. The course serves both daily-fee and member play, functioning as a regional amenity in an area with limited golf options. The setting offers a quiet, wooded character away from urban development, with mature trees framing fairways and native vegetation maintained along creek banks and transition areas. While not a tournament venue or nationally ranked layout, Little Fishing Creek represents Player's accessible design approach—a course built to challenge a range of skill levels while fitting naturally into the Georgia landscape.
