All staff were friendly and informative. Challenging , picturesque layout but not unfair or penalizing on good, thoughtful shots. Actually got roll on shots as the fairways weren’t overwatered. Course booklet was very helpful when you haven’t seen the course at all. Wouldn’t mind playing this course again as well as playing the other “Big Cat” courses in the area.

I guess the chance of rain made for an open course as we were able to tee off earlier than our 2:40 tee time. No one in front of us at all that we saw and just a couple of singles who came up behind us. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were great. Looks as if they have lost some trees due to the extremely cold temps in February but that might be a benefit to some players.

Play moved along smoothly with little wait time with the round taking less than 4 hours. Cart girl made rounds in a timely fashion and was there until at least 3:30 pm. Greens are well-kept.

The course received quite a bit of rain overnight so the traps were filled with water (just used COVID-19 rules anyway although balls got lost in the watery trap), and there were some parts of the course where there was standing water. Overall though the tees, greens and fairways are in excellent shape and the course lay-out is nice. Unfortunate that the Trinity River continues to encroach on certain holes though on the back nine in particular.

Beautiful, well-kept course within Cheraw State Park. The fairways were well-groomed and the greens were in great shape. Not much in the way of water hazards on the course, but there is enough sand to keep the course from being too easy. No worry about having balls from other tee boxes or fairway hits coming your way either! The course is really spread out so you either want a cart or will get a LOT of exercise!
