Bacon Park's greens were still recovering in August 2018, but they have plenty of interesting contours. This is the 15th. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 11/07/2018
Disappointed
This course is in need of some true love! The greens are horrible ! For the course to be owned by the city, the greens alone should be playable! I know it’s winter time but other operators in the area seem to have playable surfaces.

Must Play
Having read Tom Coyne’s book “A Course Called America” I had to check out Bacon Park as I passed thro Savannah. What a treat! I’ve played a number of Donald Ross courses in North and South Carolina and this is a real example of his art. Course is not in pristine condition but the bones of a great course are there. Will definitely play again next time I’m in town. Thanks for the tips Ben!

Great place to play
I love bacon park
During week it is not so crowded.
Greens not great but rolls fine, can’t expect perfection this early in the season
Great place to walk the course

Not worth the money
Greens horrible, no cart paths but carts have very touchy GPS. This is a Municipal course but Savannah has obviously neglected it. Courses in the surrounding areas are in much better condition. At this moment, play anywhere but here. Hope they come together to get this course in better shape.

We hope to hear from you soon.
Cheaper courses with much better conditions
Fairways were horrible. I understand it is January but other courses in the area are in so much better shape and the green fees much cheaper. I was putting from 15 yards off the green as the fairways were putting just as fast as the greens. Love the layout. The man in the pro shop was great, but 50 bucks to play on a dirt track is not something I plan on doing again. Unfortunate.

Bacon time
This course was about of fun. The greens were hard to get use to and were not in the best conditon, but i had a great time and the couple i got paired with were awesome. Overall I will be going back.
Back 9 closed to carts ** 3 greens closed on front 9 for new sod ***
**WARNING** bunch of greens currently closed for new sod *** back 9 only open for walking !!
Was told this when I arrived, after paying and calling to switch tee time still wasn’t told this until I arrived to play. Something every course doing repairs NEEDS TO TELL CUSTOMERS PRIOR TO BOOKING OR PLAYING.
Happy to see they are trying to improve conditions. Hopefully it will be playable soon. But not now.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our current closure of new sod and only having the back 9 open for walking. We appreciate your feedback and will ensure that future customers are informed about these conditions prior to booking or playing. Thank you for your understanding and we hope you will visit us again once the improvements are complete.
Player be ware...
The greens were very pour, definitely not worth the money paying for in condition of greens, and some fairways not cut like should be.

She’s in rough shape.
Needs a lotta love and water and TLC. Could be a beauty.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
You Can Do Better
I wish I knew what was happening here. The greens are atrocious. The bunkers are street trash. The cost to play 18 holes is not in line with the absolute terrible condition of the course. Unless you see a greens fee of $30 or less, play somewhere else. Golf carts are nice and the USB ports actually work. So there’s one plus. Disappointing to see how far downhill this place is going. Last thing, the range balls are about five years overdue for replacement.

Not worth the money
Course was in terrible shape, Greens had very little grass and a lot of damage. I realize. It is early but course should not even be open if they can’t offer better conditions!

A bit worse than last time
Course greens are pretty bad. For someone who is good at putting these will be unplayable. For me it's was fine and just a fun day out. Cart paths can be a big challenging as they disappear here and there. They are essentially dirt paths. Sometimes the automated GPS will cut the cart off when you are on the cart path and accuse you of being off the path. That happened on 10. Layout is fine, nice big open fairways. I hope conditions improve.

Needed TLC
Donald Ross knows golf. Great old style holes and routing. Fantastic new golf carts. Friendly pro shop and starter. Dead or dying greens, bare fairway and unkept bunker (which is ok by me). It could be a fabulous course (again) with some TLC.

The best thing was the carts! Greens and tees were rough. Needs more water and care.
