Golf Club At Wescott Plantation - Black Robin Course
About
The Golf Club at Westcott Plantation may be owned by the city of North Charleston but it is far from being your typical municipal course. The 27-hole layout is divided into three nines: Black Robin, Burn Kills, and Oak Forest. They each take their name from the plantation's long history, it's one of the oldest in the area. Care was taken to preserve the centuries-old live oaks and pristine wetlands that are scattered throughout the entire course. Black Robin is the tightest of the three nines with small greens that make it the most challenging as well. Every hole is framed by lush vegetation and various streams, ponds, and wetlands come into play throughout the course. The golf course ends with a welcome chance for a birdie in case you didn't fare too well on the tougher preceding holes.

Don’t play here
This was the slowest round of golf I’ve ever experienced in my life. No rangers helping with pace of play. It took 3 hours to play the front nine and only played a few holes on the back nine and left the course. We would have been out there for six hours otherwise. Absolutely terrible experience and a waste of money
Turtles pace
Course was in very good shape overall. Pace was awful 5:15 for 18. At the turn we mentioned to the starter how bunched up everything was getting out there. They said they would send someone around. Some drove around but drove right by the two groups thar were absolutely killing pace of play. Course is just outside my neighborhood are rarely play there because this seems to be an ongoing issue.
Nice course but needs some attention to details.
As mentioned by a previous reviewer there is no drinking water on the course. They do have beverage cart but only saw it once during a nearly 6 hour round. If they have marshalls they were no where to be seen, which caused the aforementioned 6 hour round. Granted, cart path only played a factor but the foursome 1 hole ahead needed some serious prodding.
Under appreciated course in the lowcountry
The best “bang for your buck” courses in Charleston
Clubhouse
A very nice golf course but the clubhouse closes at 3 pm and it needs attention. Why not make it a sports bar with food, drinks and memorabilia???
Wonderful back 9
My group played this nine holes as our back nine. In my opinion, I suppose the superior of the kid with a very engaging, layout and conditions that were equal to if not better than the front nine on the burn kill course. Very engaging and beautiful par threes, and long challenging par fives. Pace of play on this course was significantly better, but there was still some stopping and waiting. Once again, the most important improvement that I would suggest would be drinking water on the course.
Front 9
From the opening, he shot to the ninth green, this golf course did not disappoint. The conditions were top notch, all of the greens rolled very nicely with a good pace, and the fairways were nice and lush. The bunkers were full of nice, white soft Stan, and we’re very playable. There is no drinking water on the course which would be my largest complaint. Normally, this wouldn’t be a concern as they have a cart girl but with there being three separate nine hole courses, we only saw the cart girl once during a round. We did have the unfortunate lack of having a group of beginning golfers in front of us, which slowed us down drastically. Overall, I was very impressed with this course, especially for the GolfNow price I paid.
Very fair
Very fair layout. Fairways in good shape with fair rough. Greens recently aerated, but sanded so put still reasonably smooth. Torrential rain interrupted round but course had great drainage. Clubhouse was nice and had a good selection of food and drinks. Overall, it was a good day…except for the rain. :-)
Great Course for the Money
I played Burn Kill/Black Robin nines and was very happy with the overall course condition. The one drawback was that the greens had been recently punched and putted very slow. I really like the layout of all three nines. For the price, it is a nice course that plays at a reasonable pace. Our group was able to finish 18 holes in 3.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon.
Wescott
Upon arriving ng and confirming check in; the balance quoted was $15-$20 difference than listed on this site. The staff claim there was was an aerification of n going that I was unaware. For the most part the course was in excellent condition. The biggest complaint was this this four some that was 2 groups ahead. They played as if they were going to the PGA tour this week.. and could not play that well. And we had to wait and wait… 5 hours to finish because of this..
Fun, well-maintained course
Wescott is a little different because it’s actually three nine-hole courses and a round of 18 will be a combination of two of the courses. I’ve played all three and each is a little different from the others, but all are good. You won’t necessarily know which ones you’ll be assigned, and as in this last round they changed our back 9 assignment at the turn because the other one was backed up. I’m happy they did because we didn’t have to wait any on the other course. I can see how this might aggravate some people though. Bring your rangefinder or other distance guide for yardages because the carts don’t have the screens with that information like Manu places do now. Overall a great place to play. Highly recommend.
Will play here again
Love this course. Everyone was awesome , friendly. Course in great shape can’t wait to come back and play again. Challenging for sure esp the long par5 on Oak forest. Saw the alligator on the back nine par 3!
