20 minutes a hole

The pace of play was 20 minutes a hole. We were teamed with another twosome and they gave up a hole before us. We waited one more hole and gave up.on hole 11. We had a late tee time so when we called the clubhouse for a ranger they were gone. Part of a foursome in front of us also quit.. We canceled our round on this course for the next day. There were three foursomes on the tee box at one time for several holes. It’s too bad because the course was in decent condition and the twosome we were with were enjoyable. This was hardly worth the money. We had to leave for home in Chicago area so I didn’t get chance to pursue a partial credit.

It’s awful

We haven’t played this course in a long time and it was awful. The greens and tee boxes were a mess. Even the cart paths were bad but at least the pro shop made us aware of them being under repair although we saw very little evidence of repair. We played with a resident of the community and he mostly plays elsewhere. He feels that the community home value suffers from the poor golf course. Unless management changes we will not go back. We remember this course as being a very nice track but no longer.

This is a regular stop when in Hilton Head.

We always play this course when we visit. . Unfortunately there were two groups in front of us that were together and were brutally slow. A ranger was needed.

Thank you for the 5 stars. If a situation like this in the future, call the Golf Shop and ask for a ranger to address this issue. There should be one every day. We hope you give us another try.

Mediocre

The layout was ok but there were too many carrie’s over washes that were unattractive. Greens were decent. Although the course was crowded we moved fairly well until the back nine. We did finish in four hours. The course had houses lining the fairways and most were also unattractive and didn’t add to the experience. We had to wait for fifteen minutes to get a cart.

Very enjoyable

The course was in great condition. The layout was nice and while there were a few tough holes it was very playable. The pace of play was decent and our foursome came in under 4 hours. The back nine slowed us down as people stopped for snacks and drinks. Their restaurant was art deco but vey tastefully done. The menu was eclectic and a bit expensive but we even came back again just to eat. Their ninth hole bar was very nice. We played this toward the end of our trip otherwise we would have played it again.

Not fun

We looked at the reviews and they were mediocre but the price seemed right. The greens were awful and had a mottled look. The sand traps were beyond bad. Some had mud, some had little sand and a few had stones. The scorecard showed two hours and fifteen minutes per nine and we exceeded it due to several slow groups in front of us. The layout was okay and the greens were well protected. We played with a couple who played it for years and said it has gone downhill. I’m not sure why they continue to play it other than price.

Decent course for the money.

Overall a decent course. Pace of play for our foursome was under four hours but if a ranger was able to move the foursome in front of us it would have moved even faster.

Always well maintained.

We have played this course often. There are a few holes that can hurt you but overall it is not very difficult. But it is always enjoyable, well maintained and nicely laid out. It can be crowded but the pace of play was well under 4 hours.

Closing

This was a private club that was bought by a developer. It was supposed to close over four years ago but zoning battles keep it it barely functioning. It was okay for the price but it has obviously seen it’s day. There were dandelions everywhere even on the tee boxes. The rough was overgrown. We finished the front nine in one hour and forty five minutes but the total round took four hours and thirty minutes. The back nine was a slog..It’s a Donald Ross design that is unfortunately headed for closure. I’m glad we played it but it was barely a C-Minus.

Good value for the money

We have played this multiple time so we like the course. It’s short but there are some tough holes. Our only problem is that the pace of play is always slow. It’s always in good condition.

First time in 15 years

We played this course about 15 years ago. It was awful. It was closed for awhile and we we’re paired up with a twosome at another course who said it was better since it reopened. We tried it and it was fine. We would play it again. The gps on the cart was great.

Played it 2 days in a row

The course has 27 holes and over our 2 days we were able to experience all 27. There was a lot of work going on with tree trimming and bunker work. If not for this we would have given it a higher rating. The first day a slow group in front of us ended up finishing 11/2 hole behind the group in front so it took our group over 41/2 hours and we had to finish almost in the dark. A ranger was out but couldn't move them along. The next day our finished under 4 jours and the ranger was much more successful in keeping the pace up. Overall we enjoyed the experience.

Good value for the money

Haven’t played this course in years and we’ were pleased with the course. The course was very busy and the group in front of us finished two holes behind the group in front of them the ranger was on the course early and moved them along but we didn’t see him later in rhe day and the pace slowed considerably.

We keep coming back

The course was pretty wet considering the rain they had last Thursday but the course was in pretty good condition. Pace of play was slow because the group in front of us was two holes behind on the back nine. There was a ranger out earlier but as the day grew late we didn’t see him. Our round was 41/2 hrs. We like the course and it was very busy but there was no excuse for a threesome to be two holes behind. We still like the course.

We appreciate your comments and we are not sure why the group in question wasn't cautioned by the ranger to pick up the pace. We hope you'll play again in spite of one slower round experience.

great course but rough weather

The weather was terrible with fog and rain early on but it cleared toward the end of the round. The course was drenched because of the rain and it was cart path only. That is why we gave it an average condition rating, We drove 21,2 hours so thats why we played. We have played the course under better conditions and would highly recommend it.

Played for the third time in two weeks.

The greens were in great condition compared to over a week ago. They were decent then but were great the last two times. We are playing again tomorrow.

Good value for the money

The course was in decent condition. We like the layout. We booked another tee time for the next day. The people in front of us were extremely slow but finally let us go through on the back nine. If they didn’t we were looking at a four and a half hour round. We finished in a little over four hours which is slow for us.
