TIFTON— The Forest Lakes Golf Club,
owned by the ABAC Foundation and operated by
Danny Cravey, manager and superintendent of the club, said, “The course is in good shape. There are a bunch of improvements being done on the course. We are putting down cart paths, as well as laying sod and installing drainage.”
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 6,500 yards over 18 holes.
The course, valued at $1 million, was donated to the ABAC Foundation in January 2002 by the Tifton ophthalmologist Larry Moorman and his wife, Debra. Moorman said he and his wife decided to donate the golf course to ABAC because it will work well with the college's golf club and turf programs.
