Slow play

If you like a 5 and half hour round the swamp is for you! the only time I have played here and it wasn't absurdly slow was if it is 40 degrees and the wind is blowing. It is a nice course and the greens are in great shape but the pace of play is beyond awful. we had to bail after 9 holes. It was so bad yesterday that while we were waiting for group ahead to putt the group behind got so tired of waiting that they drove a ball 10 feet from us and once they saw that we were waiting on the group in front who was waiting on the group in front they apologized but it made for an awful experience. They won't, but if the separated the group a little more and didn't stack the course up it would be a lot more fun to play. More expensive too I know but more fun.

Nice round

Played a late afternoon round and got in 16 of 18 holes before darkness set in. Ended up going off right behind a school golf tournament, so play was pretty slow the first nine. Course was in really good condition. Greens were very firm, but putted true. I plan to play here more often.

Too wet

Following a heavy day of rain the day before this course was very very wet
Honestly it should have been closed but clearly the pro needed the green fees
Tee boxes were water logged
Relief needed to be taken from every fairway hit
Sometimes up to 60 yards to find a dry spot often in the first cut of rough
I’m sure I saw the course at its worst but even I wouldn’t play here again

Charlotte, NC

The course was too wet to play and there was a golf group of about 100 before us. They should have called me and told me that the course was just to wet to play on. First time playing there I could see that it was a really good course to play under better weather conditions. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Eroding away

It’s true that this course gets very wet if it has rained in the past month. The runoff ditches are eroding and in about 10 years it will overtake the property. The greens are good and the course is well maintained.

Good course, Overpriced

It’s a solid course, very flat and open. Makes it easy to walk, which it seems most people take advantage of. Only thing is I do not think it is worth the price at $45 I paid. Granted, it is January so I’m sure the course conditions are typically better, but I just cannot justify spending that money on this course in particular. Would much rather play a cheaper course that would be similar in quality or just paying a bit more for a nicer course.

Good course

We paid less than forty for the round so was a good deal. Course conditions were OK coming out of winter but the greens look to have been aerated recently. Will play here again for the right deal.
