Nice, fun course

The course was in excellent condition for the most part with the only exceptions being a few of the tee boxes.

Always a fun challenge

Fairways haven’t fully recovered from winter. Can have a bunch of tight lies. Greens were nice, fast”ish “, and I had a terrible time reading them. The fault is entirely mine. Love the layout with all of the scenic elevation changes. We’ll be back.

Waterfalls and golf

Green were flawless, fairways were perfect. And number 8, you need to see it to believe it. Waterfall and a downhill hill par 3.
Well worth your money to play this course.

Great Course

The course is in great shape with beautiful views. Unfortunately, there's no one enforcing pace of play. Your round will take over 4.5 hours on a busy weekend.

Challenging/Picturesque

Sweet little course in the foothills of northwest South Carolina’s Appalachian chain. Coming from FL this was a refreshing change from “flat” golf. Course condition overall was excellent. Changes in elevation, positioning of water, and numerous doglegs means you need to think about your next shot. Mid morning tee time resulted in unhurried pace of play. When was last time you played a course with real waterfalls? Spectacular!! Friendly staff too.
