FOREST LAKES GOLF CLUB OPEN FOR SUMMER PLAY

 

            TIFTON— The Forest Lakes Golf Club is ready for the summer season. The nine-hole course is open to the public from 8 a.m. – sunset seven days a week.  The course is owned by the ABAC Foundation and operated by Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.

             The Monday through Friday fee for the general public is nine holes for $12 and 18 holes for $18.  ABAC students, faculty, staff, administrators and senior citizens over 60 can play nine holes for $10 and 18 holes for $15.

The weekend fee for the general public is $14 for nine holes and $20 for 18 holes. ABAC students, faculty, staff, administrators and senior citizens over 60 can play nine holes for $12 and 18 holes for $17 on weekends. The rental fee for a set of clubs is $5. The par 72 course plays almost 7,000 yards over 18 holes.

            The course, valued at $1 million, was donated to the ABAC Foundation in January, 2002 by Tifton ophthalmologist Larry Moorman and his wife, Debra. Moorman said he and his wife decided to donate the golf course to ABAC because it would work well with the college's golf club and turf programs.  Recently, the Moormans also donated the clubhouse at the golf course to the college.
