Third time to play and heard the course was in great shape, and despite the weather, it was a great round. Greens rolled well and fairways were nice. Some tee boxes needed a little love though.

Weekends are slow and I was paired with some high handicappers, but they were great to play with. Worth a try for sure.

Second time to play and the tees have too little grass and the greens were very inconsistent. You could see where they recently cut the greens and a dry month didn’t help.

Will return but hope the state gives it the attention it needs.

First time to play here. Drove almost an hour so wanted it to be worth the drive. Several tee boxes were scarce of grass. Some were small so not much room to move the boxes around. Greens were very slow but rolled smooth. Trap had sand but several were washed out down to their base.

I was a single on the weekend which is no man’s land but the back nine was very slow. A foursome in front of me wouldn’t let me play through and a FIVESOME behind me was waiting as much as I was.

Overall a good experience but beware of slow greens and hopefully no fivesomes on the weekend.

Second time playing here. Paired with a three-some who were great to join. Greens had been punched 2 weeks earlier, according g to my partners and except for still able to see the holes, putts rolled pretty smooth.

Several tee boxes were bare but my partners said with the recent dry weather, they had to keep the greens alive and forego the tees. Other than that, no issues.

I’ll be back.

I have nothing but good things to say about the course. But on a Saturday, with a full tee sheet and some slow players, this was one of the most frustrating rounds I’ve ever played.

Two foursomes went to the clubhouse for 15-20 minutes and then came back to #10, practically paralyzing the back nine.

Oh, and don’t forget the guy who insisted on taking two shots from the fairway with everyone backed up.

I first played here in the winter and found bare tees and very little fairway grass. Play was slow. I told myself not to return until the weather warmed and maybe it’d be better.

Foolish on my part. Play was very slow, including a five-some! Bare tees again (looked like they hadn’t moved them for a week) and weedy fairways. The greens had been recently aerated and really the only thing that looks like it’s cared for.

I paid $16 on GolfNow or I would have been very upset. But I kinda knew what to expect.

My first time to play and is my new favorite course in the area. Great layout, great conditions and fair test.

My only issue was my cart battery was flashing and had to call 3 times before getting someone in the pro shop to bring me another cart.
Otherwise a great experience.

The Grille was great too!

I’ve played Crosswinds many times and this is the first time I can remember giving them a bad rating. I see they are cutting trees and trying to make improvements but you still have to maintain the basic conditions.

Fairways looked bare in many places and several greens had weeds and sandy, bare spots. I don’t know the reason but hopefully it will improve as it warms.

There was a starter since it was a holiday but they still allowed a sixsome to play. Glad I didn’t catch them before the 16th hole.

I had a friend tell me ‘good luck’ when I told him I was playing here. Don’t know if it was pace of play, conditions, etc., but considering it was a 70° day in early February, I will definitely return.

Look, I know it’s December and it hasn’t rained here in several weeks, but the conditions here aren’t good. Tee boxes on most holes have little grass, the fairways sometimes less.

The greens are okay except for one that’s close to being unfair. One member of our group hit a perfect pitch from above the hole that barely made the green. By the time it stopped, it rolled off past my ball in the fringe at the front of the green. My chip went above the hole and then rolled back at least 10’. Unfair.

Maybe in the summer there will be better conditions.

I hadn’t played Crosswinds in a couple of months and found the conditions nice. We’d had some recent heavy rains but except for a couple of greens where a good squeegee would have helped, the course looked to be in great shape.

A 40 minute drive is always worth it to play Sapelo. Didn’t see anything to complain about. Greens are nice but a little slow, fairways are great and most of the tee boxes are fine.

Nicest conditions I’ve played all summer!

What looks like a nice course in years past has fallen on bad times. The course conditioning was poor with traps not tended, grass cut right after heavy rains and no restrictions on carts when it should have been cart path only.

Whoever cut the grass must have been going 20 mph with uneven, scalped areas all down the fairway. Cart was very sluggish and no water in any of the stands. The restrooms had black water in the commodes.

Nice layout and I might play again but not at that price. A nice Davis Love design.

Conditions were decent but because of recent rain, the greens had some bad spots. Otherwise, the course played great.

Recent work on the course is going to help tees and greens thrive. I’ve played there many times and it keeps improving.

After playing Crosswinds and Southbridge in recent weeks, I had to find a course with grass on the greens. Black Creek has steadily improved and the conditions are good for this time of the year. I’ll go back to the other courses once they have drier weather and get their greens back.

Love the course but until they get grass back on the greens, I’d wait.

Like the improvements they’re making (cutting/trimming trees, restrooms on course). A couple of suggestions though- rake the traps, rope off more greens.

Looking forward to playing here soon.

You wouldn’t expect a 4:30 hour round midweek in February but it happened. A single was stuck between my twosome, a twosome in front of me and a foursome ahead. This gentleman would tee up 2-3 times and then drop on the fairway. Then he would wait until to green cleared, 200 yds away when he hadn’t hit one shot over 150 yds all day long. After a brief, polite suggestion from me that he speed up or join the twosome behind him, he kept slowing the entire side down all day. A starter or roving marshal would have been the answer.

Otherwise the course was nice although wet from recent rains. Ownership has this course pointed in the right direction. Worth playing for yourself.

I'll address the negative first and leave with a positive. Pace of play was horrible. It was a Wednesday at the end of February but the course was full. It had rained almost every day for two weeks so everybody was trying to play.

If you're a single and stuck between groups, join someone!!!!!! There was a foursome, a single, two twosomes and a foursome and our round was over 4.5 hrs. The single, who I heard was hitting 3 tee balls per hole, would wait until the green cleared on all par 4's and 5's even though he was barely 100 yards off the tee. Please recognize your ability and think of others.

The course is improving every time I play there. Nice sand in traps and trees being cut for more sun on tees and greens!

Good job with the new owners. Will dry out eventually!

First time to play Shipyard. Enjoyed it and will return. Got a $0 green fee using credits on GolfNow and drove almost 1.5 hrs. Worth it.

Tee boxes were in great shape, fairways were dormant but got good lies. Greens were the best I’ve played other than Sea Island Plantation in December. Rolled very smooth but received iron shots.

Three nines and one was closed for work. Got held up a little on each side but the starter and clubhouse told me that when I checked in.

Very much worth playing!
