Bacon Park Golf Course

Terrible customer service. Man at front desk (Hervey i think was his name) was extremely rude and was not helpful at all. He even hung the phone up on me… I was just trying to book a tee time man, no need to be an ahole… By the way, I am a Savannah local and I’ll make sure that all my friends won’t play your golf course ever again. I’m taking my business elsewhere

Friendly and helpful staff. Recent course upgrade. Accessible location in midtown. Reasonable prices for rounds, concession and pro shop.

Local businesses man O. C. Welch has brilliantly restored and resurrected Bacon Park GC, a 1926 Donald Ross masterpiece. Like much of our fair city this course has interesting history. In fact, golfing great Bobby Jones played here. This fact alone is worth the price of admission. The course is beautiful with old trees and lovely low country geography. The greens have subtle slopes, the fairways have great roll (which is great when you hit the ball straight) and the bunkers are well maintained. The subtle design provides a game for all handicaps. My deepest respect goes to Mr. Welch who restored this municipal golf course with his own funds for all enjoy. Best of all, you can play this gem at very affordable prices. For example, I can walk 9 holes, over 60 yo rates, for $ 10. Don’t pass up the pimiento cheese sandwiches on fresh white bread before you leave!

This review is based on 9 hole play 7÷8÷2015
With a few hours to kill during a business trip my co-​worker and I found BPGC and called to ask about the conditions based on the lone previous review.
We were told the truth. They had a nine whole course in ok shape ahd an 18 hole course which nine were under construction and not playable while another nine was in great shape.
We found the back nine to be long with challenging hole placements, true greens, well tended fairways and powdery sand traps. The best traps I’ve ever hit out of.
$ 23 to ride a non par 3 executive course, friendly staff, well stocked clubhouse including «Bug-​Ban» spray lotion makes this course a great alternative on a budget or short on time.
I will gladly return to play 18 when the renovations are finished.

Back nine of the course was very nice, however they are redoing the front nine. It would have been nice for the gentleman at the pro shop to have informed us that this was going on. The front nine was pretty much unplayable with construction going on all around you and the course all torn up. I asked when construction would be finished and they said sometime around November 2014. I would give it more stars, but only being able to play 9 holes when paying for 18 was not ideal.
