Great Fall Condition

The course was in great fall condition. The leaves were not an issue - they had been mowed and chopped up. The rest of the course - greens, tees, and fairways - were very good. Very nice fall golf! And the staff is first rate!

Newman at it's Best

This is the best I've seen Newman. The tees were the best they have ever been. The rough was the best I have ever seen it. The fairways were excellent. For having been aerified on Monday, the greens were very playable. The trees were trimmed up so you could hit punch shots underneath them. I would seriously consider making Newman my home course again. Greens superintendent Marty O'Brien and his crew deserve a round of applause. Congratulations on a terrific job.

New Pro is First Rate

The best things about Rose Hill are the Golf Pro, the Asst. Golf Pro, the new management co., the starter, the cart man, and the grounds crew. The people that work at Rose Hill are top notch. They WILL make it a success this time. I'd bet money on it.
The worst things about Rose Hill - the greens need a little warm weather, so do the tees and the fairways. They are improving daily, and every warm day helps.

Play it now while the price is cheap. Next year this will be a top notch course, and it will probably cost more to play.

Marines search vehicles before entering Parris Island!

Have your DL, vehicle registration and insurance card ready. Must be presented before entry. Without these, your vehicle will be impounded and you will be detained and fined. Then they search the vehicle. DO NOT bring alcohol, drugs or weapons.
Once you get past the gate, things get better. The golf staff is excellent. The greens are fast and smooth. The fairways and bunkers are OK. The tees are fair.
Very intimidating gaining entry. I recommend the course, but it may not be worth the hassle getting past the guards.

Thank you for your nice review of the golf course! Regarding the gate: there is no penalty for not having your ID. Vehicles cannot be impounded nor can anyone be fined. Since this is a Military base, everyone who enters must have proper ID; but we welcome ALL players to enjoy the amazing experience of playing at The Legends!

SLOW!!

Paid $45 for a 5 hour round. The group in front of us was bad and slow - the worst possible combination. The ranger B.S.'ed us about speeding up play, but he did nothing. They put a player with us that sucked. the greens were below average at best. Oyster Reef was a major disappointment.

Top Notch Staff

The course is in winter condition(no overseed), but very playable. The greens are firm and fast. The bunkers are in good shape. The best thing about this course is the staff. Very friendly, very nice, and very accommodating. They make you feel like this is your home course.

Why was the course open?

It had rained 2" two days before I played. The course was a quagmire. Every tee shot plugged. It was cart path only. The cart paths are THE worst in South Carolina. The course should have been closed to paying guests. The drainage system needs to be redone. The cart paths need to be replaced.
