Forest Lakes Golf Club at ABAC

About Forest Lakes Golf Club at ABAC

Set on the campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, this public track offers solid golf in a uniquely academic setting that most players overlook when passing through south Georgia. The routing weaves through mature pines and around several small lakes that give the course its name, creating a peaceful round away from the commercial strip that dominates much of Tifton. What strikes you immediately is how well-maintained the course stays despite modest green fees – the college's agricultural program clearly extends some expertise to the turf management. The real appeal here is the unpretentious atmosphere and genuine value proposition. You'll find locals mixing with college players and the occasional traveler who discovered this hidden gem, all enjoying a course that punches above its weight class. The 4.5-star rating from players tells the story – this isn't championship golf, but it's honest, walkable, and priced fairly enough that you'll leave planning your next visit rather than feeling gouged.
