Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you didn't have the best experience due to what sounds like some unfortunate side effects of post-stormy weather. Sometimes when the course is considerably wet, we need to limit the course access to cart path only to protect our fairways. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon!

We are new to the game so our experience is limited to the five courses we have played on. That being said, patriots point is our second favorite so far. Hole 17 is quite a challenge!

Cool course.. Ocean breeze and beautiful view!

I had family visiting from Alabama and we had a wonderful time on patriots point! Gotta love the 17th hole! Par 3 on the ocean side. Very cool. I play patriots point quite often and won't be slowing down anytime soon. I recommend this course 100%

Unimpressed

Course was flat, holes back to back, conditions were average at best (greens and tee boxes had damage, fairways and rough were extremely bumpy). Three nice holes along the water and the rest was a three star course at best.

I live in Michigan which have much nicer courses for the same cost. Not sure if SC courses are garbage or if the location (along the coast in Charleston) commands a more expensive price.

Good, but....

Grear value, incredible views, dryad was wonderful. However, 3 greens still in repair & temp ones hard to talk Ferron a distance. Also, the other greens were incredibly show, up until 17 & 18, both suddenly slick.
Pave of play hindered for us and others as exceptionally high rough swallowed up balls. We & others passed up basks a few times before finding them buried, or hd to drop.
Akzo surprised how choppy the fairways were. Glad we had the awesome Golf Now discount. I'd be discouraged paying full price with these conditions

Good except for rough

Course has recovered nicely from the October floods - looks like the 3 temp greens will be gone soon. Nice views, fair layout. One problem is the rough - way too high. I watched people all day spend 5 - 8 minutes trying to find balls just feet into the rough. Really slows up the course for everyone. A local I played with said it's always that way, that the course is known for sucking up golf balls.

Slowest round in years

I purchased the round online through Golf Now and got a good deal for a Saturday 1:00 pm tee time for my wife and me. Unbeknownst to us they had a bachelor party out on the course, and also sent three groups in front of us out as twosomes, which seemed a bit inefficient. We joined the twosome in front of us, but that helped only a bit. We still waited on every shot which got to be frustrating. We made the turn in just under 3 hours. Not fun, especially for a mediocre course with several temporary greens. When we saw a log jam on #10 we called it quits. I went to the pro shop and asked for a 9-hole credit and was told that the round I purchased was a Golf Now "barter" round which the course doesn't make money on. Therefore: no credit. I'm still confused as to why that should matter. I paid for 18 holes, and due to excruciatingly slow play I had to cut my round short. How much would it cost them to give me a couple of 9-hole rain checks? For the $30 you "saved", you lost hundreds in future revenue because I'll avoid your facility from now on. Kind of a shame. Missed opportunity to please a frustrated customer. Botched.

Please contact Brad Parker at bparker@patriotspointlinks.com if you would like us to email the 9-hole rain checks. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make this up to you.

Great Experience!

The greens were in great shape and rolled very true. Apparently, the course was rumored to have had trouble with their greens, but the key word in that statement is HAD. Not only that, but the course provides prime real estate for some of the best views in Charleston. The staff was very friendly upon arrival, and I loved their Hawaiian themed uniforms. I will be back!

Great course greens still need work.

The fairways and ruff were in great shape. However, the greens still need a lot of work. They had 3 make shift greens that were ok. The big hole on those greens helped out. If you want to play a very nice course and put up with the greens you will still have fun. And remember you still have great views.

Greens

I was told before we played about the greens. Thinking temporary on a few holes, but the majority were not up to standard. Bare patches and slow uncut grass. IF they can save them it will be playable, but not now. Yes the price was lowered to reflect the problem, but not enough in my view.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you didn't get to experience our course at its best. Charleston experienced extreme flooding in late 2015, and as a results our greens did not come back to expected in season playing conditions. We have worked hard to rectify our conditions including planting new sprigs on #1, 6, and 15 on July 12. The grass is growing back and we expect to have recovered greens conditions in the next few weeks. Thanks for playing and please come back soon.

Great staff, location, value!-still under construction(flood)

The only reason it's not 5 stars across the board is because of the construction. The staff and even other golfers were the nicest I've ever golfed with! I'll be back even if there's a few holes getting worked on. Overall, perfect day.

Thanks for your review and for the compliments. We appreciate you still recognizing the beauty our course has to offer despite the current conditions of our greens. We do apologize for the conditions and are sorry that you didn't get to experience our course at its best. Charleston experienced extreme flooding in late 2015, and as a results our greens have not come back to expected in season playing conditions. The grass is slowly growing back, but there is currently very little grass on most greens. We are working on addressing these conditions and are doing everything we can to return the greens to the condition we would expect. Our rates are discounted and reflective of our conditions. Our normal seasonal rates are $69 weekdays and $89 weekend.

If you would like to discuss this further, please email me directly at bparker@patriotspointlinks.com. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Worst Greens Ive Seen

Sand splashes up when you hit greens in flight. 80% of the holes do not have any grass on the greens, and if it is there it is just a replacement patch. Staff said everyone in charlestons greens are that way right now, but no other public course I play has been like that.

This course is ok, but it is WAY overpriced. Also, bc they had just aerated, the course price was cheaper than a hot deal with the GolfNow app. There was more sand on the greens than at the beach.
