HUNTER GOLF REVIEW

Hunter Golf Course is a great friendly golf course for military and civilians! The course in good shape on front nine and fair on back nine! It was easy to find and I will be going back again!

Tough winter conditions

Grass had not started growing, which will help condition of fairways and greens. Would definitely play again. Small turtleback greens made it tough to hit.

Do not waste your money

This course is in bad shape from tee boxes to fairways to greens. Most of the course is mud and all the greens are elevated. The course is pretty much an eye sore. If you want to play a nice military course go to Beaufort and Play at Parris Island. I hope this review helps your decision making process.

Nice Layout

We played as a twosome and felt like we were the only ones on the course most of the time. The layout is nice and pretty flat. Water comes into play on some holes. Some of the tee boxes were pretty bare. Overall it’s a nice experience and we’re planning to play it again.

Excellent amateur golf experience

After navigating the Army Base security and wandering a few lovely base roadways, the golf was great! I will definitely be back…

Easy to play hard to get to!!

Unfortunately it took me 40 minutes to find the way into the base! Several gates were either permanently or temporarily closed or blocked off! The course is a good layout but in mediocre condition, but you get what you pay for!! Any day on a golf course is better than a day at work!!

Hunter is a value

The pace of play was very good. Fairways were in good shape except for some bare areas. 4 or 5 greens on the back had bare spots. Not a tournament course but if you are okay with moving your ball a foot or two to a better hitting area, then the course is playable. Good value

Avoid: Not easy access!

Didn't get to play due to the misleading access policy and unhelpful staff. You have to fill out an electronic form to get access to the base. Once you get clearance, you need to bring a printed document and ID to the base. Headed to the course to get there about 40 minutes before our tee time. Unfortunately, didn't realize the access gate was on the other side of the base from the golf course. Had to wait almost thirty minutes at the guard station to get our guest pass. We did not get any information about how to get to the course once cleared. Once we found the route, it took another 8 minutes to get to the club house. At this point, we were ~20 minutes late for our tee time. We were told we would need to pay for another round if we still wanted to golf. If it is your first time, you should get to the base an hour before your tee time. Better yet, find another course that doesn't make it this difficult to play. GolfNow should give more warning about all the time and effort required to play a round.

I'm actually not surprised by this. The golf course is on an army base and to get access to this base you need to get clearance. It's not hard to get clearance but no one really tells you the steps. So here are the steps for those who come across this comment.

1) Bring DL and insurance card (just in case).
2) Go to Main gate located on Montgomery St. It's called the Hunter Army Airfield Visitor Control Center. Google Maps will show you
3) Tell the guard you want to play golf, they will take your DL and tell you where to park
4) You will most likely get a 3 month pass, maybe 2 months. Not sure of the policy. This can take anywhere to 5 minutes to 20 depending on the number of people in line.
4) From this gate you go straight until reach Leonard Neal Street. It's the first real left you can make. Take that to N Lightning Rd. The road ends so its a T section. Go left. Follow this road entirely until it merges with Perimeter Rd. Continue down perimeter and you will see the golf course on your right. Keep following until you see the entrance on your right.

Give your about 30 to 40 minutes to get through the gate and to the course. You might be very early if all goes smoothly. Better early than late.

Save your money

Course conditions are deplorable. Losing balls a foot off the fairway is ridiculous.

Better than expected!

I was happily surprised with this course. I played by myself and walked the front nine, rode the back nine (front was cart path only so I preferred to walk). As a mid-single-digit handicapper I played the Blues, which was long and challenging. Lots of strategic play to try and set up approach shots, and several holes that forced decision-making to go for it or lay up. Greens were good, fairways were mostly green and manicured, cold water available every 3rd hole. Overall a good course that can give experienced golfers a good challenge!

Terrible condition

We played on a beautiful sunny day, however, the course had standing water in all fairways, tee boxes and bunkers. Do not play if there has been any rain in the last 2 weeks, otherwise you will be leaving soaking wet and covered in mud. This was a miserable experience. The course should be closed if conditions are half as bad.
