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.

Nice course

A very friendly course with wide fairways. Very good conditions. Only drawback was the pace of play approached 5 hours. The locals we played with said this was normal. Definitely need a ranger pushing along play.

Great Course Golf Now sucks

This course wasn’t bad however the pace of play was very slow due to people in front trying to play a scramble that had no business playing one. My negative review is for Golf Now as the weather conditions were rainy and we needed to get a rain check and Golf now doesn’t let you get one with their new rules which is atrocious customer service on their end. No one should ever book with Golf now they rip you off.

Good Value

For a city owned course, the facility is very good. Of course the course conditions were ok and could have been better but not to be expected for a Municipal facility in this area.

Ok Forest/burn kill

Second time playing Oak Forest and Burn Kill. Haven't gotten a chance to play Black Robin yet, but the courses have been enjoyable and not overly challenging. Pace of play leaves more to be desired and they just aerated the greens so they weren't rolling true.

Poor customer service pro shop cashier

I've played here numerous times living nearby. Booked online and paid online as I almost always do. At check in, cashier tells me I owe full tee time cost. I told him I already paid as I have done it this way many, many times. He proceeds to tell me I must be mistaken, and I must have only reserved time online. After multiple times explaining I already paid showing my receipt, the club pro/manager comes over and instantly corrects him showing the cashier on his own terminal it was paid in advance. Not even an apology. How about better customer service and consideration that the customer just may be right.
Even after the unpleasant start, the course was in the best shape I've played it in years. I played with a member, and he says it was in such good shape because of recent rains. If that's what it takes to be in such good shape, I recommend watering more, and I would make it a point to play there more.
I probably would have given 5 stars based upon course condition had it not been for rude cashier, but hopefully, it will be better next time.

Excellent Public Links

Fun course. Wide, accepting fairways. Greens in great shape. Bunkers were hard due to recent rains and should be tended at the beginning of each day to ensure reasonable play. Plays long, so tee it forward. Green tees are plenty long for a handicap in the teens.
