Great layout

We played there on a monday around 1 am. The layout is very different to other courses in the area. The elevated fairways, many bunkers and the waste areas offer great views from the tee boxes. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good shape. It could be really a highlight course, if the staff would take more care about details on the course. Pace of play was okay, as we were a twosome behind foursomes. The club house is very nice, too. So definitely worth playing there.

Target practice

Tough course with a great layout, elevated fairways with waste area all around. Elevated greens with shaved fringes, great undulation on the greens. Would play again from a different tee box.

Challenge

Very difficult course layout, elevates fairways, surrounded by waste areas, greens are shaved and elevated, very difficult to hold balls, greens were at 8 or so, would not play again; too demanding for my game.

Nice course

For February, course was in good shape, Course has a good variety of holes, The hardest thing for me was every green required climbing up some pretty steep slopes to get on and off so not recommended if you have bad knees.

Waste areas, love them it hate them.

A very different course with waste areas abounding. I enjoy the difference occasionally. Greens were very receptive. High and soft, low and fast all started on the green.

Great SC low country layout

Fun holes, mostly dirt/sand cart paths which add to the laid back feel. Elevated greens are challenging and deceptive yet not too evil!
