    Fairways of Canton branded Callaway golf balls.
    Daniel B.

    Fairways of Canton is a gem of a course located in Canton, Georgia, about a 45-minute drive northwest from Atlanta. It's situated in the North Georgia mountains (or at least, in the foothills) so there are several scenic holes with breathtaking views and dramatic elevation changes. It's a beautiful course, better than my playing partners and I expected, and the course conditioning is excellent too. I recommend any avid golfer in metro Atlanta give it a try. It's one of the better public courses I've played in the state to date. And the value is one of the best around. The course opened in 2007, right before the Great Recession. Unlike some courses, which went downhill after the recession, Fairways of Canton looks to have been well-maintained and is in good to great shape, from the sizable clubhouse to the course itself. Even the lawn in front of the clubhouse looks like a nicely manicured fairway. Now this place isn't perfect -- the driving range hitting stations consist of more dirt than grass, the practice bunker needs an overhaul, and the tee boxes and fairways aren't completely devoid of crabgrass (weeds). However, for the price you pay, this place is tremendous value. At the time of writing this review, the highest posted rate to play, on weekends and holidays before 1pm, is $48 plus tax. My buddies and I played here on a Sunday morning for a total of only $39.75 (taxes and fees included) per person. I booked our tee time directly through Fairways of Canton's website at http://fairwaysofcanton.com/. I found the course's website to have the best rate. If I had booked through GolfNow, the price would have been $42.24 (taxes and fees included) per person. No tee times were available on TeeOff.com. Both Fairways of Canton and GolfNow required a small amount due upfront. For us, that amount was $1.99 per person (included in the $39.75 above; we paid the remaining balance at the course). $40 on a weekend morning for a course of this caliber is a deal. Many lower-quality courses in metro Atlanta charge $50 and up. Really, the only downside to Fairways of Canton is its location. It's far for a lot of people. The driving range consists of roughly 20 hitting stations. You hit downhill. I believe the yardages shown on the signs in the distance are adjusted. The practice putting green is nice and big with plenty of slope. That slope is needed because 14 of the course's 18 greens have at least two tiers. There's a practice short game area with two greens and a bunker. The course has five sets of tees. From the tips (blacks), the course is 6,301 yards long with a rating/slope of 72.5/135. From the middle tees (whites), where I normally play from, the course measures only 5,494 yards with a 68.1/123 rating/slope. I would consider this course's difficulty to be moderate. It's fun for all skill levels as long as everyone is honest with their abilities and plays from the appropriate tees. The course par is 72 or 73 depending on which tees you play from. The back nine always plays to par 37 (three par-5s). It's the front nine that varies - either par 35 or 36. The scorecard is helpful because it has a page, back and front, dedicated to hole layouts and pin positions. The sketches for the greens even show tier demarcations. Greens 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, and 18 have two tiers. Green 8 is a special three-tier green. While a lot of the greens are large, landing your approach shot on the correct tier is essential to shooting a good score on this course. The course is located in a nice, large subdivision called Laurel Canyon. Most of the fairways are tree-lined though some have their fair share of houses too. I can see why this place is named Fairways of Canton because the course consists mostly of fairways with, I'd venture to guess, much less bunkers than the average course. Also, only two bodies of water (small ponds) come into play. Reading this, you'd probably think this is a boring course, but it's actually not. The holes are surprisingly diverse and interesting thanks in large part to the natural terrain. It's quite hilly in these parts. Therefore, you're treated to some high-elevation tee boxes and greens with terrific, sweeping vistas. In this sense, this course reminds me of another course nearby, Callahan Golf Links in Waleska, less than a 10-minute drive north. I like Callahan too, but Fairways of Canton is the superior of the two, especially in terms of scenery. The most memorable holes to me are Nos. 14 and 18. No. 14 is a mid-range par-3 with a significant elevation drop (about 2-3 clubs I'd say). No. 18 is the same, except it's a par-5, dogleg left back to the clubhouse. The views from 17 green and 18 tee, among the highest points on the course elevation-wise, are simply spectacular. Course conditions, for the most part, are fantastic from tee to green. The Yahama gas-powered golf carts appear fairly new and are fantastic quality. Service is great. I'll definitely be back for more.

    Our very appropriate trivia team name for many reasons but mostly because we didn't score!

    Beautiful views from this course and by most standards, pretty reasonable. The cafe on the property is not bad and apparently undergoing renovations. The panoramic views offer a majestic view of the mountains so I'm really looking forward to visiting again when the leaves change. Drinks and food are simple and on the cheap so if you are golfing on a budget, or just want to eat at a decent place with a gorgeous view without the hefty blow to your wallet, go here! They offer trivia night on Thursday's and reservations for this event are required (ie, lots of locals show up for this) but it is a much older crowd, so I felt like a spring chicken again!

    I had the opportunity to play Eagle Watch. This is a fine golf course in Woodstock, located about…read more35-45 minutes north of Atlanta without traffic. If you're familiar with golf courses in metro Atlanta, Eagle Watch is located immediately next to Towne Lake Hills Golf Club. Both courses are in the Woodstock neighborhood of Towne Lake, just off I-575 exit 8. I like both courses. The big difference between the two is Eagle Watch is private and Towne Lake is public. Eagle Watch is currently a ClubCorp course and, for some reason, is paired with Bentwater Golf Club in Acworth. The courses are about 35 minutes apart (without traffic). I remember when these courses operated independently of each other (and when Bentwater was public). The only reason I can think of as to why ClubCorp paired them together is to sell more memberships. Get two courses for the price of one. Eagle Watch used to belong to Canongate (also private at the time) until ClubCorp acquired them in a large package deal in 2014. Eagle Watch has all the typical country club amenities and then some. Along with the 18-hole, par-72 golf course, there are 12 tennis courts, pools, a playground for kids, and even an outdoor basketball court and beach volleyball. The clubhouse is nice and spacious. I wouldn't characterize this club as high-end, but it's certainly not low-tier either. It's middle of the pack. There's a driving range, large practice putting green, and a practice short game area with bunker. The course is one of less than 10 in the state of Georgia designed by the Arnold Palmer Design Company. I'm not sure how much of a hand Arnie actually had in the design of Eagle Watch, but it's cool his name is attached. Like other Palmer clubs, the clubhouse has memorabilia dedicated to The King. The course opened in 1989. It has bermudagrass fairways and bentgrass greens. When we played, the course, from tee to green, was generally in good condition. There are five sets of tees to play from. From the tips (gold), the course measures "only" 6,741 yards with a rating/slope of 72.8/143. From the whites, where we played from, the course measures 5,677 yards with a 68.0/125 rating/slope. I'd say this course is average or slightly above average in difficulty. The course is hilly, which is typical of a Georgia course, but it's more pronounced here. Some of the elevation changes are significant and make some of the holes scenic and memorable. There are no large bodies of water to contend with, but several small ponds and some creeks. While the course winds and weaves its way through a subdivision, most of the holes are tree-lined. The signature hole is No. 14, a moderate to long par-3 with a forced carry over a pond. Paired with a bunker left of the green, there's not much room for error. On top of that, if you're shooting for birdie, you'll have to place your ball on the correct side of the green as it's two-tiered. It's not as intimidating as it sounds. The 17th is another par-3 over water and it's one of the easier holes. The most difficult hole is No. 2, a long dogleg-right par-4. It's the longest par-4 on the course (446 yards from the tips, 390 from the whites) and the No. 1 handicap hole. Err to the right on your approach. I had an enjoyable round here and wouldn't mind playing this track again. We had fun.

    Course was a dump. Bad tees, cart paths like the DMZ, carts electrically blocked on all fairways,…read moreetc. Good clubhouse, that's it. Club One Corp is a scam and only wants $$$ but spends nothing to maintain the pasture.

    For the money, Bradshaw Farm in Woodstock is a good public course. There are three nines here: Red,…read moreWhite, and Blue. The two nines you play can change depending on how the pro shop has scheduled tee times for the day. I've played Bradshaw several times over the years and have usually wound up playing the Red and Blue nines. From the blue tees, the Red measures 3,128 yards, the White 3,286 yards, and Blue 3,153 yards, so it's not a terribly long course. It's moderately difficult and I think somewhat beginner-friendly for a standard full-length course. There are a lot of hills and elevation changes, some of which are quite steep. The first tee on the Red nine has quite the drop which makes that drive a lot of fun. The most memorable hole to me is the 9th on Red. It's a long par 4 which goes downhill then back up to a steeply elevated green. The view is cool because overlooking the green way above is the clubhouse and golf cart storage building. At the time of writing this review, Bradshaw's public rates are $42, Monday through Thursday, $55 on Friday, and $65 on weekends and holidays. You can find good deals online through various websites like GolfNow and TeeOff.com. For example, I was able to book a Friday round here for $45 using TeeOff.com, a $10 savings off the regular rate. These websites also offer various discounts and promos throughout the year so you can save even more money on the already discounted tee times. It should be noted, however, that the tee times available on these websites can sometimes be more limited than what you can get by directly calling the pro shop. Overall, the condition of the course is decent. The greens are the best part. They are Champion Dwarf Bermudagrass (installed in 2012-13), the same grass that is now used at the club I grew up playing at (High Point Country Club - Willow Creek, also installed around the same time). The last time I played here, the greens were in great shape. They rolled true. The fairways were OK and the rough was cut short. The brown-red sand in the bunkers had more of a hard, dense, clay-like consistency as opposed to the drier, white, "fluffy" sand. Not bad though. I was still able to hit out of them with my usual sand shot. There's a big driving range and one practice putting green and short game area. Like some of the tee shots here, the driving range is located on what feels like a cliff, so you are hitting shots down into a valley. It's mats only at the range and range balls (not included) are dispensed from a machine outside the pro shop. When you purchase range balls, you'll be given a code to enter into the machine. A small bucket costs about $4-5. I'm not a fan of the golf carts here. They're old. Several have worn out tires and the carts' turning and handling is not good. These carts are definitely showing their wear and age. Also, no GPS and towels are not provided. Neither are tees, ball markers, repair tools, etc, but to be expected at the rates they charge. What Bradshaw does have, which I love and think every golf course should have, is one of those compressed air guns. They're great for blowing grass, dirt, sand, and other stuff out of your shoes, socks, skin, etc. Also, the restrooms out on the course are satisfactory. The clubhouse itself looks like a giant red barn. Very distinctive. The clubhouse has a nice view of the first hole on Red. The pro shop is small and basic. The restaurant and bar is also no-frills. The grill offers food like breakfast sandwiches, Danishes, muffins, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and fries each under $6. The bar serves liquor. The staff I've encountered have been friendly, polite, and helpful. That goes for the guys in the pro shop to the cart girls. Marshals? Not sure I've ever seen one or had one say anything to me. In the end, Bradshaw Farm gets 3 Yelp "A-OK" stars out of me.

The employees provide a top notch service! Absolutely enjoyed our time at the course. They have a great maintained driving range to get some practice in before your round. The starter at the 1st tee was extremely professional and made sure everyone got off in a timely manner. They even drive around to keep you updated on pace of play. Don't pull up to this course for the first time and expect to have a good scoring day. It's an extremely difficult course considering most of the greens are tough to read and have different tiers to them. Even if you're on the green in two you might end up three putting if you're 20ft out. The first hole is a long par 5 that truly shows how the tough the course can be. If you're a long hitter it's reachable in 2. Overall, Cobblestone is a great course that you definitely need to check out. Fairways are beautiful, great views, amazing greens. Im a 2 handicap and walked away with a 78 from the tips. Good luck and enjoy.

I was told it was recently remodeled. The clubhouse food staff were exceptional. Super service oriented. The driving range is pretty ordinary, but well beyond functional. I just expected more. Not a true complaint. The turf that you hit off is in excellent condition. The range balls were terrible. This really surprised me. I peeked into the sheltered learning center (instruction) and it looked great. I enjoyed the short game area, which provided plenty of variety. The putting green was great. It was in excellent condition, probably 18 holes cut, and it was large in size. The director of golf, Phil, seemed like a really nice guy. He struck me is the sort of guy you would want as your golf pro. He gives the impression of being a happy man with a ready smile. His four assistant pros had the typical, "I hate this job" attitude. The cart staff was great. They were service oriented and eager to please. The layout of this golf course was exceptional, but the routing is confusing. I'd have gotten lost without help. There are no tee signs or hole-to-hole markings of any kind. I would describe this is a very fun golf course to play. It is visually attractive and challenging, but also fair. Loose tee shots are punished, but the fairways are a little bit wider than they appear from the tee. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition, given that we played in the winter. The fairways were all over seeded. The greens were smooth and fast. Approach shots need major attention. I hit several shots that ended up nowhere near where I expected. False fronts, sides and slopes definitely need to be factored in before pulling a club. The bunkers get an F minus. All of them we're literally unplayable. The sand in all of the green side bunkers was so hard you can walk across them without leaving a footprint. I'm certain they will not be in this condition come April. Maintenance of this course is both good and bad. The turf is great, but there's a decided lack of attention to detail in so many areas. Especially within 50 yards of the green and in. We've all had to deal with a maintenance crew that disrupts play, but this bunch is in a class all by itself. As annoying as they were, they could not detract from this track. I think so highly of this course I just can't give it anything less than 5 stars. To be fair, I'm betting this place will shine come April. This track is a real treat to play. I was told it's around 13th in the state and I believe it.
