Championship Golf
The Douglas Golf and Country Club is located on 175 acres of rolling pineland
astride the Seventeen Mile River in Douglas, Georgia. It is the outdoor and
social activities center for many area families. The Club facilities include a
challenging 18-hole championship golf course.
Our course is professionally maintained by a full time staff and is one of the
finest in Southeast Georgia.
Throughout the Year, we are home to many tournaments including the Junior
Magnolia, the Iceberg, the Evelyn Stubbs Invitational and many more.

This Month's Golf News
Summer officially started June
21st, but if you have been outside during the middle of the day, it has felt
like summer for the last six weeks. We have been having extremely hot and humid
days with hardly any rain. When you combine these conditions with many of the
irrigation issues we’ve been fighting, it’s been hard to keep our course green.
This past
winter, we removed some trees on a few holes to help with shade problems. We
have found a few more that still need to go and are on schedule to be cut the
first week of July.
The
playability of our course right now is very good. Our tees, fairways, and rough
are in good shape and our greens are rolling very true. The amount of play
we’ve been getting over the past few weeks is way up. Our Wednesday Evening
9-hole Happy Hour Scrambles have averaged 40 players each week. If you have
not been participating, you are really missing out.
Kids...here’s a reminder. You are now down to two months practice and prep time
for the Junior Magnolia.
See you on
the course,
Keith
