Bobby Jones Golf Course was recently ranked in the top 100 courses in the US under $100. To qualify for the list, courses needed to be (1) accessible to the public, (2) the kind of golf experience you’d recommend to a friend and (3) offer peak-season weekend walking rates that do not exceed $100. We are so proud of our entire team for making this possible!
The difference between a sand trap and water hazard is the difference between a car crash and an airplane crash. You have a chance of recovering from a car crash.
