Good deal for students, gets a ton of play so conditions are generally less than optimal. Solid straightforward layout.

Great course for every day play. Played in the winter when it was wet so will need to get back in peak conditions. Very classic Ross with greens being the defense of the course

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. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope 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 Athens, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
