    As good as golf gets. Greens still young so need a few more seasons, bunkers are world class. The course is hard as everyone says it is

    Very fun course that has several risk/reward holes where you can cut off as much water as you want to try with the driver. Beautiful property with memorable routing around the lake.

    All of the par 3s are so good. Great mix in of risk/reward par 4s. The renovated green complexes are excellent & make for some great approaches/chip shots. The customer service is top notch.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Douglasville, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
