The Golf Club of Quincy near Tallahassee, Florida

The Golf Club of Quincy is one of the best deals in north Florida/south Georgia, even if you don't consider its $25 green fees.

Quincy is only a few miles outside of Tallahassee, in a part of Florida that has some rare hills, and the Golf Club of Quincy, the only game in the little town, matches up against any of those of its larger neighbors to the east.

For one thing, it makes full use of the terrain with which it was blessed. Nearly every hole on the golf course has some degree of elevation change, some of them so dramatic you might think you were playing in north Georgia. It's a little startling, and very pleasing, to find elevation like this in Florida.

Most of the tee boxes are elevated, showing off some nice views of the surrounding countryside, and you're frequently teeing off sharply downhill, or uphill, sometimes over valleys up to elevated fairways, sometimes uphill to blind landing areas.

The course was designed by Joe Lee, a prolific and underrated architect.

There are virtually no homes here, giving the experience a pastoral feel with a variety of wildlife. The Georgia red clay bunkers are a nice touch and add some color.
