The Golf Club of South Carolina at Crickentree

the course has a nice layout but the greens are in bad shape but it was good for money

The conditions are bad! Greens are not keep up, weeds in the middle of some. Sand traps missing sand, not groomed. Overall not good!

I got an awesome price from GolfNow at $8 for 18 holes and a cart. Amazingly, it wasn't worth that price. Although the layout of the course is extremely difficult, the course is so poorly maintained that it is almost unplayable. The greens are just awful, the rough was very long, and there were large pockets of rock hard dirt on the edges of the fairways. The cart path is cracked and not usable most of the way. Although I paid for 18 holes, I left after the front 9. Unfortunately, it is time for this course to close up I believe.

Good course. Has some issues with the bare greens but good overall.

Previous reviews that criticize course conditioning are certainly accurate, so let's note some of the problems for the record. Greens are splotchy and are generally not cleared of grass clippings. The rough in some areas (adjacent to greens, say) is not routinely mowed and is weedy in places. Fairway grass cover is somewhat inconsistent, leaving some spots barren, pebbly and/or weedy. The bunkers are all now waste areas because of no maintenance , erosion and lost sand. Some stretches of cart paths are treacherous because of damage caused by tree roots. And tee boxes lack grass cover. In short, this star has noticeably faded. But for a lot of us, this is still a great course to play.
The architecture of the course is and always has been impressive. The holes aptly fit the landscape and are not artificially chiseled into the terrain. It is a scenic place with pleasant and strategic elevation changes, ponds and creeks, and beautiful hardwoods. When you stand on a tee box, the way the hole needs to be played becomes quickly apparent. The layout is indeed challenging, good (and even average) shots are rewarded, and only really bad shots are severely punished, which should be the case anyway. Houses adjoin some of the holes yet are situated well back of the course. The staff and crew are friendly and helpful. And the price is right.
Until two weeks ago, I had not played this course for fifteen years and I've since played it three times. I'll go back.

I chatted with the head golf pro after the front 9. I had met another single golfer and his young son, decided to pair up. We went in to get a drink and a snack, that would be when we chatted about rain, conditions, layout, etc. the course had a nice build, but the greens are poorly maintained, with some sand patches and dirt patches. Overall, great experience, only complaint are the greens.

One of the worst courses I have ever played. Layout is nice but is in need of serious money for upkeep.

Golf Club of SC at Crickentree was what I expected except for the condition of the greens on the front nine. Weather conditions must have had an effect on the greens since they had very little grass and were packed mud in some cases. The rest of the course was okay and the layout is nice.

This was a challenging and scenic course in the past. It is sad to see this course in such a state of decline due to so little play and maintenance. The annual membership costs are a steal at this point just to try and entice people to play the course. The greens were inconsistent with bare spots where the balls rolled as if on concrete, while the grass on the green was poorly cared for and the ball rolled very slowly. There were no real fringes on the greens as the weeds would slow your ball down. The roughs were no longer mown with weeds growing out of them at heights of 5-6 inches. It really disappointing to see what has happened to this course, and I feel for the homeowners who built around the perimeter of the course.

The layout and surroundings of this course are beautiful. The course is old and everything from the grounds upkeep to the club house need work. The fairways were ok but the tee boxes and greens were in horrible condition and the cart paths were dangerous in some areas. We played this course 5-6 years ago and it was in competition shape. It is a shame that it has fallen on such hard times.

Course is nicely layed out and staff friendly enough. Years of aging and limited maintenance beginning to show. Fairways not awful but greens very sparse and inconsistent. Lot of bare spots and lumps of grass make putting very challenging. Could be wonderful with improved turf.

2nd time I played this course. 1st time was 14 months ago and there has been little to no improvement on the greens. It does have a challenging great layout.

The course is beautiful and challenging ! The staff is super friendly!

I have seen 1st hand they are working to improve the over all condition of the course.

We got worried when we had the only car in the lot that didn't belong to an employee and for good reason. Everything about the course from the fairways to the greens to the cart paths were in bad shape. It seemed like there was no work being put into the course at all.

Great layout. Course conditions are getting back to previous high standards. Well worth the trip.
