I've played Darlington twice now and I'm really impressed by the layout and the course conditions. For a municipal course, this was in really solid shape. The layout was unique with a cool mix of mountains and water to work around on the course. If you have a county card the price is great.

My only issue was with the organization of the staff/starters. The other day I decided to ride instead of walk and I payed $15 for a cart. However, when I walked out of the clubhouse to the first tee, I was informed that they were out of carts. Not a big deal, but then they kind of suggested that it was my fault for not showing up early enough for the cart, rather than their fault for selling me a cart that they didn't have. One starter suggested that I tee off and walk, and then offered to drive a cart out to me when a cart became available (which would have been great), but then the other starter/ranger then quickly shut down that idea and said something like "no way we are going to drive a cart out to you, are you kidding me?" so I found that to be a bit rude. I ended up having to walk all 18 holes, but I did get a refund for the cart fee.

Overall, a great course but they seemed a bit disorganized for sure.

I played this course the other day with three friends and we had a great time. Course was in good shape, and the layout was unique and kept me guessing as a first time player of the course. My only issues with the course was the price, the starter, and this weird rule they have about carts. While the course was nice, I think $60 was a bit steep for what you get out there. Also, the course has a strange rule where they request all of the carts to be returned to clubhouse by 7:20pm, even though this time of year it stays light out until around 8:00. This just created problems for us (and i'm sure everyone else) when we were standing on the 13th tee and the starter asked us to drive the carts back to clubhouse and walk all the way back to the 13th tee box. The starter/ranger certainly could have been a bit nicer and less arrogant during this process as well. Not really sure why they would sell golfers 18 holes with a cart when they know you won't be able to finish the round with they cart you just paid for. Or why they wouldn't just let you return the cart when your round finishes... All in all, a fun course and a positive experience
