Meat man

Wonderful course to play challenging but allows for the occasional leaker. The greens were good but not as fast as they were in November. I’ll be back!

Will definitely go back.

First time playing and the staff was incredibly friendly and treated me like a regular customer. Course layout was fun and the course was in great shape. Some parts of the club house were Under construction so it should look really nice when they’re done. Will definitely go back.

Great Course Layout

Definitely worth the drive from Hilton Head up to Parris Island. Course was in very good condition. Quite a few holes with water, but fairways were wide enough in most cases you could take water out of play. Sand traps were in excellent condition. Yes I did get to try out a few. I will definitely go back when opportunity arises.

Excellent fairways and very fast but smooth greens

Very enjoyable round. Fairways wide enough to permit using driver. Don’t be aggressive with your putts or else you will be three putting often.

Not-so hidden Gem

I've paid $80-$125 for this level of golf. Fortunate to be a resident of Beaufort, $40.

Perfection!

This is probably the finest course I have ever played that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Super friendly staff, very clean course in superb condition. Very fast greens which I liked. Nothing even close to negative to say about this course. Just be on the lookout for big gators. The carts also had GPS which is a plus for reading each hole. Highly recommend. God Bless our Troops!

Best course for the money

This course located on the Marine Corps Recruit Depot is literally a dream come true. The greens were rolling close to 12 and smooth as could be. the fairways are great. There is not other course around that is nearly as nice as this one for the money. Course can play back to 7000 yards. The pace of play was great. The restaurant closes early, but you can still get something to drink after your round. The offer lessons and support as well. You will not want to miss a chance to play here. Just tell the MP at the gate you have a tee time and show you DL,Insurance and registration and head to the course.

Great layout!

Had a great time today. Even though they had an outing, and could have said sorry, they were more than accommodating to honor our online tee time. The course is beautiful and in excellent condition. Picturesque holes with tons of wildlife. Almost every hole has water but plenty of bailout room to the opposite side for those who don't hit is straight every time. I will be making this course a regular stop.

Greens were lightening fast

One of our most favorite courses to play when visiting Hilton Head. Our wives really like it. Course was in very good condition. The quickness of the greens was difficult to get use to. A lot of wildlife on the course.

Always enjoyed this course

Course was way over-booked. Had to wait 40 minutes for carts to come in before we could go out to play. Waited on every tee and in every fairway because of the heavy traffic. Could only finish 9 holes though we paid for 18. Disappointing.

Canadian? Forget about it!

It takes 3 days to have your application to enter the base vetted if you are a citizen of another country. We found out after making the reservation for the next day and then it seemed next to impossible to cancel because it was a “hot deal”, Not so hot a deal IMO. Fortunately the club house manager handled the cancellation with GolfNow.

Great course

We thoroughly enjoyed the great condition of the fairways, greens and tee boxes. The pace of play was brisk and we played the course in just over 3 1/2 hours. We would definitely return.

The course was a very pleasant surprise

Although an hour away from Hilton Head, it was well worth it, vey playable from the assorted tees for my wife and me. Excellent conditions with fast greens and we finished in 3/12 hours. A joy to play at a very reasonable price.

FIRST TIME

WE ENJOYED PLAYING THE COURSE AND THE WEATHER WAS GREAT. THE COURSE LAYOUT WAS GOOD AND THE GREENS WERE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH ALL THE DRY WEATHER THIS YEAR. LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING IT AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. PERSONNEL IN THE PRO SHOP AND THE SNACK BAR WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND COURTEOUS. PACE OF PLAY WAS DECENT, 4 AND A HALF HOURS FOR 18 HOLES. IT WAS PRETTY CROWDED AND AN OUTING WAS BEING PLAYED EARLIER.

This course is a must play in The Low Country

Best greens I've putted on in the south! Conditions were excellent. Pace of play was incredible. Watch for the gators walking across fairways. Can't wait to get back and play it again! Keep it going such a great experience! We recommend this to everyone!

Fantastic S.C. Course

I decided to take a one hour and forty minute drive from Summerville today. I have heard for the longest time about The Legends Course. I'm very glad that I made the trip. The course was busy, but the pace of play was steady. The fairways at Legend are absolutely perfect. The greens have no blemishes at all, although the STIMP was about 10.5 on all the greens. Youch. The course is very fair but very challenging. Think before you tee it up as there is sand and water most everywhere. Make sure you put the ball in the fairway because the rough is quite unforgiving. Its not impossible to get out of the rough, but your ball may be about two inches deep. In addition, it's very rare that I play a golf course that is not lined with homes along the fairways. There are no homes to be seen, just nature. Wonderful and glorious nature. It's very refreshing. Wherever you live, make the drive to Paris Island, SC. They "Make Marines" here and a GEM of a course. Cheers.
