Good round

Was a former member and always liked the course but while I was a member It was never in the condition it is I now. Greens and fairways are in great shape and it’s a pleasure to play. There are a wide variety of holes from hard to easy to test your game.

Great course

My foursome had a great time at Cleghorn. The course was in excellent shape fairways and greens and we had no complaints at all about the course. This is a mountainous course with lots of elevation changes which will challenge you. We got an exceptional deal on golf now hot deal and thoroughly enjoyed our day there

Great round

My foursome got a great deal and played Golden Hills today. It was in great shape tee to green. We had a fun day and the staff there was very accommodating. Strongly suggest you play this course in the Columbia, SC area. It’s one of the top three we can play.

Improving

Improving course . Fairways and greens have greatly improved. Senior tees play longer that most courses making it a challenge. Several par fours are long and tough. Our foursome enjoys our hot deal golf tee times there.

Great round

Golden Hills is in great shape. Fairways and Greens were very good. Rough was tough. Our foursome had no issues. Very pleased for the Golf Now Hot Deal price. I rate this with Cobblestone and Mid Carolina as the best courses available that I get to play in the Midlands of SC.

Best

I play several times a week and play a wide variety of courses. This is the best course I have played in the past couple of years. My group got a great price on Golf Now ay $29 each. This is a must play course just over the SC NC line above Spartanburg SC. Tough layout, large greens, great condition. I can’t think of one complaint that my foursome had except for some of our own golf. Lots of elevation changes and challenges. I will go back. We are just under 2 hours away but we’ll worth the drive.

Lots is recent rain has improved fairways and greens at Hidden Valley. Still rough on some holes but better than rounds earlier this summer. Still a good place to play with good prices on Golf Now Hot Deals. Never crowded so you can play without waiting on holes

The Spur is back.

Enjoyed the Spur at Northwoods today. They just reopened after redoing their greens. It’s in best shape now that I have ever seen it. Great round for the Golf Now deal my foursome booked. Tough course for seniors .

Great Shape

Course was overall in great shape. They lost one green and there is a temporary green. They were cutting the old green and looks like it will be ready very soon. I have played this course many times and always enjoy it. Good course for the price.

Good summer shape

Timberlake is in good shape. Played at 12:30 and saw no other players on the course. Fairways are in great shape. They cut their greens very short and fast. Many greens are hard and difficult to hold. We saw very few if any ball marks on greens. Played there many times and it’s in good summertime shape. Looked like the greens needed more water.

Good Shape

Have played this course many times. Greens were punched a couple of weeks ago it seemed and were slower than normal. Fairways in good shape. Good course . Was very crowded today and we had several slow foursomes in front of us . Had to wait on almost every hole. Not normally that slow. Great course for the price.

Good Time.

My group enjoyed our round at LinRick. Greens are back in shape. This is a reliable course for the price. Well maintained despite being a County Course. Gives a variety of holes. In some places off the fairway conditions can be rough. I have played there regularly and enjoy it.

Improving

Played there a month ago and course has improved some. Really hot in SC so not many golfers there. I like to practice there and had no one in front or behind me. Greens are improving but most still have dead spots. Fairways are coming. Off fairways can be an adventure.

Great experience

Golden Hills is right up there in the top courses available of the semi private courses in Columbia. Their greens are a little hard to hold but in good shape. Fairways are plush. Had a great time there.

You get what you pay for.

This is a poorly conditioned course. Not many players. I go there to practice and hit lots of balls on a course rather than a driving range. Most greens right now have dead spots. Fairways are hard with little plush grass. It’s inexpensive and never a crowd when I have played there. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. No real snack bar food.

Not Happy

My group of 4 from Mid Carolina Country Club went to play The Walker Course at Clemson yesterday. It was a two hour drive and while the course is very nice we had issues. We were rained out after 7 holes. One of my group went to get us a rain check. We were given a rain check for 9 holes. This for my group was a pricey round. I did not find out about the 9 hole rain check until we were eating on my return trip. I called today to request an 18 hole replay. They took my name and number and told me the pro would call me. Later today someone from their golf shop called and said the pro said their “rule” was that If you had played 5 holes or more you would not get a rain check for the front nine. I explained about our lengthy trip to play their course but they didn’t care. They said we could come back and pay green fees plus a cart fee for the 9 holes we didn’t complete if we wanted to play 18. I am an experienced golfer who many years ago was an assistant pro at Oakmont and have never been treated by any course in my 71 years like this course. They appear to not be reasonable in light of our circumstances.

This is a great course for the cost. The course was in good shape. Only complaint is that the cart paths are terrible. Don’t go if it’s cart path only, LOL.

Oak Hills is always a pleasure for me. Greens are improving after being punched and sanded. It’s a good course for the hot deal price we paid. Interesting holes and layout.

OK

LinRick has some green issues at present. It is generally better but weather conditions earlier in the year had affected the greens at most courses. It is a county course and better than most government run courses . Fairways are coming in. Limited food available but prices on snacks are the lowest anywhere. My group plays there weekly. It will improve when the greens come back.
