A new favorite when I'm in town

I was in town for business and got the opportunity to play a round, so I booked here on GolfNow. I love the course. It was fun to play despite being challenging. The condition was great and the setting is beautiful. My only criticism is that the rough areas just off the fairway and greens are so thick and tall that finding a ball that went slightly off was difficult. On 18 I hit a beautiful wedge that sailed a bit long. I watched my ball bounce on the green just over the flag and jump into the rough behind the green. I found and repaired my ball mark, but despite the relatively small area it could have gone to....I couldn't find my ball. That's the only reason I didn't give a 5 Star. I wish a 4.5 Star was available to give though, because the course is very fun to play and for the price the value is amazing. I'll be back next time I'm in town...I'll just be a lot more careful about ball placement. This is not the course to grip it and rip it....fairways are a must.

This course could be much better

Drove up and no one was at the bag drop. Parked, dropped bag and went in to pay. The lady was nice enough, but I had to pay about $5 more than GolfNow said I was supposed to pay. I opted for the round at 9:56am that was $13 more per golfer in our group of 3 than a 10:20 tee time, but when we got there they were on a frost delay and didn't tee off until after 10:30am anyway. A couple of guys 5 groups back were parked up at the t box and only after 2 groups asked the starter to go talk to them did he drive up there, talk to them briefly, and come back with them still sitting there. He said he went and told them they should go hit the driving range but they didn't want to...so he was just going to let them hover over the tee box while the next 5 groups went up until it was there turn. We were the next group up, so we pulled up and I made my opinion known to them that sitting there was pretty much a jerk move, and they acted confused for a minute then said something about their tee time was 10:18 and thought they were behind the 5 ladies in front of them. They then left and went to talk to the starter to clear things up. Either way, I had to do the starters job, or he was not clear with them. The course was on a frost delay, so that's going to come with some sogginess, but this was bad. There were plenty of spots where you had to half jump / tip toe to not slush in the mud. I would have done better wearing my bogs than my Nikes. The biggest water hazard was the fairway. No drink cart ever traveled the course. I grabbed a chicken salad sandwich at the turn and it was dry and tasted about a day old. I ate half and threw the rest away. The course design itself was actually good. The greens were challenging and misleading, but I like that stuff. It makes it more fun. If they took care of the fairways and greens better I would enjoy a course like this. The cart path is atrocious. Cracks, bumps, huge puddles, holes. Certainly not a comfy ride. The other 2 in my group drove cart #24 which the battery was dying on for the last 4 holes. It just looks like the ownership / management has given up on having a quality golf setting for customers.

I am an avid golfer and this rating and comment on the course is a little bias. Due to rainy conditions any course has wet areas in the fairways. I play Bull's Bay, Kiawah, Daniel's Island not to mention out state courses. Food, well, it's a golf course not a 5 star restaurant. Give it a chance newbies and form your own opinion.
