My experience here left a lot to be desired…read more If you are attending a large conference here, please be advised that they DO NOT have sufficient parking for all attendees. You will likely have to take rideshare or find somewhere else far away to park. When I attempted to park upon arriving at the Classic Center, an employee who was stationed outside the parking garage (to let people know it was full) pointed me toward parking for the courthouse a couple blocks away. When I drove over there, a courthouse employee told me that parking there is not allowed unless one has official courthouse business. So not only is their parking area very small, but they do not even give accurate information about where alternate parking can be found. It was incredibly frustrating. I ended up driving around for 30 minutes and finally settling for an expensive lot nearby just so I could get to my conference. Signage within the venue is virtually non-existent and employees are few and far between if you happen to have questions or need assistance. It's like they expect that everyone visiting this place has been many times before and knows the lay of the land, which is decidedly not the case. The sole reason I am giving two stars is because they did not skimp on air conditioning. It was on in full force the entire time I was at my conference, which is beyond necessary given the outdoor temperatures averaging 95 degrees with 80%+ humidity when I was in Athens. I would not have expected the air conditioning situation to go off without a hitch given the remainder of my experience here, but sometimes there are small silver linings.

Cocktail hour a bit less successful. They had one bar outside at top of stairs to the hall. Everything out there, including wines, had gotten very warm to almost hot sitting in the sun. Bar area needs to be shielded from the sun, or better yet have both bars inside with the heat. There was an event cocktail in dispensers. It would have made sense to have one bar focus on that, wine and beer to keep the lines moving as tremendous wait, again at outside bar, standing in the sun and heat. If they had had the event cocktail a s all distance inside then it might have deterred allot of folks from sitting on bar lines. Not well planned. The hall itself is relatively sterile, similar to that of a hotel offering with a tad more character. The room was at a very reasonable temperature throughout the event. The appetizers - mini beef wellingtons, fried shrimp very good. The bruschetta ok. The main course - ok, but certainly disappointing. Old school menu of pot roast, mashed potatoes, squash, if and chicken with caper sauce. First, pork was so hard and overcooked that it was largely inedible. The sauce so thin that it didn't cling the the meat and veggies. The mashed potatoes cold. The squash so limp it was not appealing. The chicken decent but some of the sections still had blood inside and the breasts pretty dry, Also, no spoon for service to get some of the sauce on the meat to help with dryness. The best thing on the buffet was the rolls in y opinion. The place just seemed dated in terms of offering.

We had a blast at UGA Golf Course. This course had been on our list to play for years, but due to…read moreits distance from our golf group in Atlanta, it required everyone to block off pretty much an entire day to play here. It was worth it. UGA Golf Course, also known as "University Golf Course," is the official golf course for the University of Georgia in Athens. This course is open to the public. I don't think it's technically on-campus, but it's close. From Atlanta, I would budget about a 1.5-hour drive each way. This course is home to the UGA men's and women's golf teams. I think it's neat to be able to play a college golf team's home course. Not all are public like this one. For example, Georgia Tech's home courses, East Lake Golf Club and the Golf Club of Georgia, are private. Georgia State's home course, Bobby Jones Golf Course, is public. I also live in North Carolina where UNC (UNC Finley Golf Course), Duke (Duke University Golf Club), and NC State's (Lonnie Poole Golf Course) courses are public, but Wake Forest's course (Old Town Club) is private. The UGA golf teams have a private practice facility here. I live next door to the Georgia Tech golf practice facility (Noonan Golf Facility). From what I've seen of UGA's practice facility, Tech's is nicer. Then again, the Tech facility was renovated and reopened in 2017. UGA's facility looks more dated. Speaking of which, UGA's public clubhouse felt a little small and dated. Not that there's anything wrong with it. This isn't a country club. The clubhouse definitely had more of a public facility feel. The golf shop was fully-stocked with cool stuff including Georgia college football national championship merchandise (e.g., putter covers). The dining room pays homage to the UGA golf teams' championships on various levels (e.g., SEC and national titles) with things like a trophy display and a list of years won. I love golf history and enjoy looking at things like this when visiting different clubhouses. The building could use a refresh. The dressing area in the men's restroom had Bankers Boxes stacked with what looked like extra plaques. Too many awards, I guess. Georgia's men's golf team won the national title in 1999 and 2005. The runner-up in '05 was Georgia Tech. The newest part of the clubhouse appeared to be the "Campus Market Express." It's self-serve convenience store with snacks and drinks. No staff. The golf shop and cart barn were staffed with what appeared to be UGA undergrads. The starters at the starters shack appeared to be the typical older, perhaps retired, golf enthusiasts. Everyone I interacted with was polite. UGA Golf Course opened in 1968. The course was originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. The course was renovated by Love Golf Design (Davis Love III and his brother Mark Love's company) in 2006. The public driving range is sizable with about 30 hitting stations (mats). There's also a large practice bunker and a separate chipping green. The public practice facility has its own parking lot and is located in its own separate area on the property, on the other side of the golf course parking lot. Heading to the course, you'll pass the practice facility on your left before dead-ending into the course parking lot and cart staging area. There's also a large practice putting green next to the starter's shack, before the 1st and 10th tees. During our visit, the course was in good shape. We started out playing the first several holes in the rain. The rain came down hard around holes 2 and 3. The course drained really well. The rain let up and we finished the round dry. I could tell the greens hadn't fully healed from their most recent aerification, but it wasn't a problem for us due to all the moisture and resulting slowness. As far as the design and layout, I liked it a lot. This felt and played like a true 18-hole "championship course." It has a fun and scenic variety of holes. The terrain and elevation changes here are very typical for a non-coastal course in the South. The routing keeps things interesting and the greens are huge. Nine and 18 share a big double green in front of the clubhouse. It looks like RTJ had a lot of land to work with when he designed this track. There are no houses on the course. My favorite stretch is holes 12 (downhill par 5 with approach shot over water), 13 (par 3 with forced carry over water), and 14 (par 4 with tee shot over water). Not only is that stretch challenging, but it's quite beautiful with the way the holes surround the pond. From the tips, known as the "Bulldog Tees" here, the course is a whopping 7,258 yards with a 75.4/141 rating/slope. We played from the white tees: 5,964 yards, 69.9/122. There are six sets of tees to choose from. I thought the Bulldog Tees, with actual cute bulldog tee markers, were a nice touch. The electric E-Z-GO carts were outfitted with GPS units with the GolfLogix app (yardages to pin, green heatmaps). We paid $77 per person for our weekend afternoon round.

This park is actually a sister park of Harbin's Park. Basically, Harbin's Park is three parks. The main park offers mountain bike trails, multiple purpose trails and equestrian trails. This is the only one with the football field and the 2nd Harbin's Park has two baseball diamonds. All of these parks are near each other. By far, this collection of parks is some of the very best that Gwinnett County owns. There is so much land here, the parks do not get overcrowded (probably because they are farther from the city) and there is so much to do here. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you love the outdoors. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful. Review #364] (10th Review of 2016)

This is hands‑down the most hostile and unprofessional experience I've ever had at any business. If this is how they treat people who walk through the door, I can't imagine how they treat paying customers. I will never return, and I strongly recommend avoiding this place altogether.
