We were really excited to play this course - it had been on our radar for a while. We finally decided to make the trip to Savannah from Columbia, SC to play on Labor Day weekend because there was the $55/round promotion if you make a cash donation to Folds of Honor. I booked a tee time online for 3:00 pm. When I got to the course to check in, I was told my tee time was not booked (even though I had the confirmation email). The pro shop employee was not very understanding or empathetic to me but got me a tee time. When we went to tee off, the starter told us there was no one in front of us so we could go ahead and tee off. By the time we got to our second shots on the first hole, there were 4 players from Savannah College of Art and Design walking behind us. They were playing some sort of team game and they were teeing off from less than 100 yards from the hole. I was trying to line up my second shot and all I could hear were the SCAD players talking and laughing. We were going to let them play through until we realized there were 5 plus groups of 4 SCAD players behind us. After the first hole, we teed up at the second hole. As we drove to our balls, the SCAD players walked behind us. When we got to our second shots (which were further out than the place the SCAD players were teeing off from), the SCAD players WALK PAST US, talking loudly and laughing and stood at where they were teeing off. I was very annoyed with this. My fiancé said something to them about keeping quiet and being respectful. By the third hole, we had had enough. They were loud, obnoxious, playing way up our backs, etc. I called the starter and told him we were turning around and restarting our round behind all of the SCAD players. When we got to the 9th hole, all the SCAD players were waiting around at the green for their last group to finish. When they finished, instead of holding their team meeting away from the hole, they STOOD ON THE GREEN for 10 minutes as I waited in the fairway to hit my ball. It wasn't until I yelled "FORE" that they moved off the green. I would not recommend playing this course unless you can know for sure the SCAD players will not be there. They ruined our experience. Not only that but they left divots in the middle of the fairway where they were teeing off. Didn't fill them in or anything. Very disrespectful and left a bad taste in my mouth about the course.
