Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club
Denis Griffiths routed it through mounds and tall loblolly pines by the lake; the 15th, a dogleg-left par 5 out of a chute of trees, is the hole to know.

About Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club
The course here is the Georgia Veterans Memorial Golf Course, the Vets Course to locals, a Denis Griffiths design on the banks of Lake Blackshear. The official layout adds up to a par 72 of 6,869 yards from the back. Griffiths used mounds, water and a lot of sand to shape the holes, and the Tif 419 fairways wind between the mounds and stands of tall loblolly pines. The Dwarf Bermuda greens are big, wide and sloping, so expect long putts with break.
The resort calls the 15th its signature hole: a 551-yard par 5 that doglegs left, with the drive threaded out of a chute of trees. The 11th, at 206 yards, is the longest and hardest of the par 3s, and you have to fly the ball all the way to a narrow green. At the 12th you tee off to a plateau about 50 feet above the green, and the 13th, the hardest on the back, hides both the fairway and the green.
It's open every day of the year from 8 a.m. to dusk, about two hours from Atlanta and an hour from Macon. There's a full-service clubhouse with food and drink, and the resort sells stay-and-play packages with its cabins and glamp sites if you want to make a trip of it.
It's one of 14 courses Yoink watches in the South Georgia area, and the closest alternative is Brickyard Plantation Golf Club & RV Park, about 16 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
