Conveniently located close to Charleston. Laid back atmosphere. A number of holes beautifully situated on the ocean. Generous course design - broad fairways and forgiving roughs.

Good course and value for the money. Paired with a very slow twosome. They were very nice but slow! Would play again.

Disappointed

The staff was friendly and upbeat. The pace of play was good, but the course was not in good shape. The fairways were very bare and veryyyy bumpy. The cart paths were crumbling and non existent in places. The views are besutuful, but the golf...not so much. Will not play here again if we return to Charleston area.

Scenic interlude

The course is a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of Mt Pleasant and Charleston with views of the Charleston harbor approaches, the new bridge and Fort Sumpter. Course is in good shape overall, fairway grass is still dormant, and with no recent rain, roll and bounce are quite noticeable. Greens have winter grass and are in good condition with predictable roll and speed. Wind is often a factor, especially on the holes along the beach. The par three island in the marsh 17th is always a challenge for me. Though the course was busy, our foursome still managed to finish the round in four hours.

The scenery was beaten

The course was in great shape for winter. The fairways were brown but very playable. The scenery more than makes up for that. Yes I'm a northerner. Enjoy this course.

Patriot's Point

From Start to finish the experience was great, The staff was of great assistance, very instructive the starter was very informative of the course. The day was very windy, (no fault of the club), but did find the fairways were really bumpy, though ball lies were good in most cases. I really did enjoy the views of the water, but was saddened that so many trees were destroyed last year. The greens were in good shape, wish all golfers would fix their divots and then fix one more, it would help any course out if we all did our part. Greens easy to read and pretty true to the hole, hole placement was white that day. The pace of play was great, not overly crowded. I did enjoy the course and will and have already recommended course to others headed to Charleston. Thanks for a good experience Patriots Point and look forward to another round one day.

Always heard bad things about this course. Was pleasantly surprised. Loved the course, greens were great. My first time playing Patriots Point, but not my last. Great rate thru Last Minute Golfer.

The course was in perfect condition for this time of year. little bit of wind, but for the most part didn't affect shots, except for number 17, a tough little par 3 with no margin for error. Will definitely play again. played the front with one other person in 1;30 and the back in about 1;50.

Last 3 Holes are Tremendous

We played here in mid-January and the weather was fantastic. Caught a great day with only a slight breeze. The first 15 holes are pretty good, but nothing to get too excited about. The last 3 holes along the harbor are really what you pay for. A really good par 4, a great short par 3, and a really solid tough par 5. I had read that the course conditions can be very hit-or-miss, but the day we played the course was in great shape. Course is close to downtown (10 min drive) and has great views of the harbor and Ft. Sumter when you get to the last 3. Highly recommend if you're looking for a course near downtown.

Great Day For Golf

Booked a weekday tee time using Last Minute Golf.Com. Great rate and excellent day for golf. Arrived 30 minutes before tee time. At bag drop was assisted in getting my clubs out and onto cart, gentleman very friendly and helpful. Checked in and was welcomed just as if I had paid regular greens fees. Everyone in pro shop very friendly. Asked if wanted to hit balls before playing, told them no thanks ready to play. Pro shop said just see starter and begin playing. Stater got us off twenty minutes early. We had a single in front of us (twosome) and after the first hole we never saw him again until number 18. Course was in great shape other than a few downed trees that the course was working to remove. Greens were in great shape for January and sand traps actually had dry sand and were racked smooth. I'm from Virginia and don't see dry courses or much sand in traps this time of year. Overall was a great day. Keep up the good work guys.

Golf with a view

This course is a wonderful course to play, found ia great deal using GolfNow at a great price. Seemed to be some confusion between the GolfNow posted time and the course time for when we were going to get to play. Direction to each hole could be better marked, I thought because of storms perhaps it's hard to keep up with however that's just my uninformed observation. Overall we loved this course and will be back to play another day.

Great views of harbor

The course has been upgraded in recent years. Greens were in perfect condition and balls rolled true. Fairways were good despite recent heavy rains. I liked that they cleaned up the underbrush so that one could see the harbor from many of the holes on the course, not just the last 3 holes. We had a somewhat cold windy day, but very much enjoyed the round. Pace of play was great (although that may have been due to the weather). Lastly, we found the staff very friendly and helpful.

1st time to Charleston

Staff in the pro shop was very friendly. After asking if this was my 1st time, helped with cart, practice, and location of #1 tee. Started was big help in explaining course and put me out ahead of my tee time. Not very busy in early December so pace of play was great. Course was in what I thought was good shape for December (from being from Ohio?). Greens roll very true, was able to make a couple long putts. Signature hole is definitely par 3 #17 looking into the harbor. Very nice, especially with being to find a "Hot Deal".

A little gem on the water

Perfect weather and what a beautiful course especially when you get to the water holes on the back nine. Got lucky and played 18 in two hours which is my kind of golf. Definitely a great value for what I paid.
