Nice layout

Fairways and roughs in winter condition. Sand traps had been deep raked and had loose sand. Greens held the approach shot, were medium speed and rolled true. Course was in good winter condition.

Wet course

One day after a rain storm, the course was still wet in most spots. Fairways and roughs were in winter condition. Sand traps were hard packed. Greens were wet, holding the approach shot well, medium to slow speed., but rolling true.

Great Condition, Slow Pace of Play

Have played this course multiple times in the recent months. Overall the course quality is in great condition. The only downside of this course is that the course is consistently overbooked creating a very slow place of play. Have yet to play 18 in under 6 hours at this course.

Course needs a ranger

Course is one of the best around, Deerbrook has a better layout. We were the fourth group off and it took five hours due to the second group off playing Captain's Choice and acted like they were the only group out on the course. The drove up to the tee boxes and right beside each green. We had three groups on every hole on the backside. We did see the Ranger once...he just rode past without saying a word to them.

Best kept secret in the upstate

Love the course! The price is unmatched for a course of this quality. The greens are as good as any in a 100 mile radius.
