Golf Getaway

Day 1

Quiet Pines

If you roll into town on your first day a little later in the morning, Quiet Pines would be the perfect location for your first stop. This 9-hole course can be played in just a couple of hours giving you more time to explore town, grab dinner and get ready for a full day of golf the next day. Located across from Moody Air Force Base just northeast of Valdosta proper, Quiet Pines lives up to its name giving you plenty of serenity to hit that perfect tee shot.

After a quick 9-hole course at Quiet Pines, head into the Grill on Quiet Pines property for a drink or pre-dinner snack from their locally curated and Georgia Grown focused menu featuring Sunset Farm Foods, Guess Pecan and Tam Tam's. There, you can chat about the round and gear up for dinner at Friends Grille + Bar.

Just a fifteen minute drive away from Quiet Pines is Friends Grille + Bar, a meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Once you're there, grab a cocktail at the bar for happy hour and then make your way to a table to savor the modern, laid-back southern cuisine. This locally-owned restaurant strives to use fresh, seasonal produce as well as all-natural meats to bring their guests a true taste of Valdosta. From flatbreads and burgers to seafood and steaks, there's a dish for everyone at Friends.

Day 2

Kinderlou Forest

Rise and shine on day two with breakfast at Urban Honey Bee followed by an early tee time at Kinderlou Forest Golf Club. Urban Honey Bee is a hidden gem in downtown Valdosta and is only open for breakfast on Friday and Saturday. Get there early for a one-of-a-kind experience and be sure to try a breakfast biscuit infused with their homegrown honey.

Once your tastebuds are buzzing, head over to Kinderlou to make that early tee time. Kinderlou is Valdosta's premier golf and residential community. This Davis Love III Signature-designed 18-hole championship course offers five tee boxes on each hole making it an ideal location for groups and couples at different skill levels and driving capabilities. Interestingly, for an area as flat as southern Georgia, Kinderlou's natural ravine on the fourth hole adds a daunting challenge.

In addition to the beautiful weather and challenging course, the homes in the community provide an inviting backdrop for soaking up the sunshine and the camaraderie during your weekend away.

Once the score cards are all tallied up, head into the Kinderlou Clubhouse for lunch at The Oaks. The menu features delicious sandwiches, salads and burgers - perfect for refueling after 18 holes of golf. Be sure to save room for a hearty dinner at Woodstack BBQ. After all, you can't leave Valdosta without having some of our iconic BBQ. For a true taste of the south, order the fried pickles, pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese and brisket.

End the evening with the guys at Downtown Social, Valdosta's premier gathering place to have a drink and play some games. Head into one of our sports suites and practice your virtual swing, rent a boutique bowling lane, throw some darts, or try your luck at our virtual pinball.

Day 3

Stone Creek Golf

For your final foray, aim for Stone Creek Golf Club. Just off I-75 in Valdosta, this 18-hole course is set among more than 800 acres of woodland and wetland, complete with a beaver pond, bass lakes, and plenty of wildlife. A semi-private course that's open to the public, it meets all of your needs; challenging, fun and scenic. A par 75 with 6,652 yards from the longest tees, you and your buddies will have stories to share for years to come.

After a fabulous day of golf, head into historic downtown for dinner at 306 North. Named after the address itself, 306 North is a blend of southern sophistication in a casual upscale environment. Delectable soul food, irresistible cocktails and decadent desserts. It's a slice of Valdosta in every bite. Try the Cajun BBQ shrimp, crispy buttermilk fried pork chops, and honey-truffle grilled sweet potatoes; just to name a few.
