Terrific place - do not miss!

If you are looking for a golf course designed to fit into its own environment perfectly- unspoiled by houses and condos and lots of machined challenges, then this is your kind of place.
Conditions are surprisingly good and actually better than most courses you will be able to play in the Low Country.
If you are a military veteran, your rates are reduced (deservedly).
Do not miss a chance to play here- schedule the tee time ahead and avoid Weekend crowds if possible.

Greens recovering from aeration, but Golf Now Made it worth while

Don't know why they put all those lakes where my ball slices towards:-}
I'm a hacker. Sunday afternoon. Nobody in front or back of us.
Greens were aerated the Monday before, but were coming back fine and were a little shabby, but I knew that when I booked through Golf Now. It was a great deal on a pretty day.

Great shape great people

We were told to take a 40 minute ride from hilton head island to play. It was worth the ride. The staff was very friendly and The course was in great condition. It plays for any skill level. It has a nice layout and the pace of play is great. We play many courses in the area and in my opinion this is one to try

Great time

The course was in great shape and the pace of play was better than average. It was our first time on the course and the layout was easy to navigate. The only reason I rate the amenities good was the fact the food service closed at 2 PM. We will definitely be back.

Great Layout and Surprisingly Fun

I read the earlier reviews and decided to take the hour drive into Parris Island, SC. IT WAS WIORTH IT! Because I'm retired military the price was great. I'm currently working in the area and usually play Hilton Head golf courses on the weekend. I enjoyed the scenic drive into Parris, Island and enjoyed the course even more. I was greeted by friendly staff,a well stocked and reasonably price Pro shop. The course was wide open at the time and I played 18 holes in 2 hours 15 minutes and I stopped to take pictures on several holes. The fairways were in good shape and the rough was a little high, probably due to all the rain over the past few days. The greens were in great shape and appeared to roll true throughout the round.. The course has challenges throughout with water being the biggest for most holes. Be careful around the water areas, because I saw alligators all day! Though some of the holes appear short in length, the undulations and water hazard keep you honest. If you are in the HHI area give this course a try. I tee'd off around 3:45 on a Saturday and practically had the course to myself. I have played more than 18 different HHI courses and this one ranks in my top 5.

Nice Play

Front easier than back. Dispute some of the handicap ratings on some holes. Greens very clean & true but brownish green. Bunkers hard compacted sand. Watch out for large alligators. Very enjoyable to play but a little far out on the island. Would play again.

Poor management

Our tee time was booked right before a group of 28 went off. When we stopped at the turn we tried to go back out but were in the middle of the group. They came out and said something to us for being in the middle of the group but had no other options for us. We only played nine and they did not refund us our money. Very poor booking management . Also our order from the grill was messed up really bad. The course however, was in good condition .

If you came back out and found yourself in the middle of a 28-person group, it means you stopped WAY too long at the turn. It's annoying when people do this and expect just to jump back in at 10 like it's no big deal.

Well worth the drive

Had read many good reviews about this course and decided to take the drive and play it. Golf Now web site is a little misleading about distance to course as it is around 45 miles from where we were staying on Hilton Head. IT IS WORTH THE DRIVE! Especially with the great rate on Golf Now. Greens had been recently sanded, but it did not affect them at all. Still very fast and rolled true. Getting to course on Marine base was a little extra time, but worth it. Make sure you have identification and you should not have any trouble getting on base (unless you are NOT a natural born citizen of U>S>0. Then you have additional paperwork to fill out. But again, it is well worth it. Got to play with 3 retired Marines and truly enjoyed the company. Oh, And watch out for gators. Say one in every pond on the course. A truly enjoyable round of golf. I will be back on a future vacation to HHI.

You made a great observation about access to the golf course. As long as you have your drivers license, registration, and insurance card, it is fast and easy to get on base. Thank you for making the drive to Parris Island and we look forward to seeing you when you return!

Land of the free home of the brave

Love this coarse and love knowing that so many of our brave Marines get their start right here on Parris Island. A gem of a coarse that everyone who plays will appreciate the layout and natural beauty of the low country. Highly recommend any and all golfers to put this one on your low country bucket list...

The good and bad of Marine Base Golf

Had read many things about the Legends at Parris Island, which attracted me to this layout. The place really needs some TLC. Fairways are thatchy and really inconsistent.but on the other hand the greens were outstanding. The layout is really challenging. Wind a huge factor. Fascinating to hear Marine exercises going on in the surrounding woods,
throughout the round. I know the ammuition wasn't real, but the sounds alone, provided a true reminder of the efforts extended by our military. Many Thanks to all who Serve.

The "Marine Corps Experience" is unique to The Legends GC and many customers have commented on how much they enjoy that aspect of their round. Coming out of a wet winter does have an effect on the fairways and we are giving them plenty of TLC now that the heavy rains have subsided. I hope you get a chance to play them again!

Military Base Course

I enjoyed this course with Hot deal it was 20.00 dollar fantastic value. Great views and wildlife perhaps largest alligator I have ever seen. Course was gem and staff great.

Only issue was that after booking I was advised by the course tat I would require to fill out a form fax it to the course to obtain entrance. Without passport I was advised I could not enter however they did accept my Georgia Drivers licence. This was after two hours of phone time.

You're right...there are some requirements to access the base, but if you have your Driver's License, Registration and Insurance card, they will let you in. If you are a foreign national, your passport is required. You can also complete a "Friends of Parris Island" form that will give you a 1-year vehicle pass. Thank you for playing at The Legends!
