 Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club, listed on Golf Digest magazine's list of four star-rated courses, rests quietly on the shores of Lake Blackshear right outside Cordele, GA. Architect Denis Griffiths has worked his magic once more to convert rich bottomland setting and turned it into a highly pleasing and challenging golf course. Expertly placed mounds, water hazards, and plenty of sand bunkers define the holes and enhance the challenge. The Tif Dwarf Bermuda greens are large and sloping, with many two-tiered putting surfaces. The wide Tif 419 fairways wind through mounds and stands of tall loblolly pines. This is truly the best value golf experience in middle Georgia.
