Greens are beat up.

It’s a shame the greens are beat up so bad. It overshadows a decent layout.

Great Course

I consider this the best course available to the public in Charleston. The course was in fantastic condition, and offers a good variety of holes. IMO this course is slightly easier than the Harbor course, but can still gobble up golf balls if not hitting straight off the tee. The finishing holes are picturesque. I wish I would have had the chance to play 18 as a par 4 before they were forced to shorten it to a par 3.

Challenging Course

Do not be fooled by the short layout on the scorecard. This course plays long and is very challenging off the tee. I absolutely love the Wild Dunes course, and consider them the best public courses in Charleston. However, make sure you pack a few extra sleeve's.

One of the more enjoyable rounds for me this year. The course layout and greens were fantastic. The 45 minute drive from Charlotte is 100% worth it.

Older Country Club with Boring Layout

Course and clubhouse are outdated. Course is not long, and a lot of the par 4s are very similar to one another. Greens were not fast but they were smooth. The course layout is a little confusing, as some holes require you to ride back up the cart path of a previous hole to get to the next tee box. Overall, its an average course; nothing exciting. Commuting from Charlotte, there are better options around the area.

Challenging Course!

Beautiful clubhouse! It really feels like you are walking into a country club . The practice facility and course are always in great shape. The course is one of the more challenging courses in the area. I would definitely recommend this course for those looking for a good challenge.

My only gripe with this place is they are always running behind on the tee-off times. I've played here 4 times over the past couple years, and I have not once teed off on time.

Of all the public courses within 30 miles of Charlotte, this is by far my favorite layout. The course is always in nice shape, and you cannot beat the price. This is always at the top of my list when recommending courses to play.

Terrible greens

It had been 2 years since I played here last, and I was reminded why I stayed away for so long. The greens are in terrible shape. It’s a shame because it’s a nice layout, but my god the greens suck. I doubt I’ll ever play here again. I’d much rather drive 15 more minutes and play Eagle Chase.

We apologize for the condition of our greens. The bent grass greens have suffered recently due to a combination of increased play, heat, and rain. We are working hard to have them back in great shape over the coming weeks. Thank you for your understanding and hope to have you back out this fall when the greens have healed up.

Below Average Course Conditions

The course has a great history and decent layout, unfortunately, the conditions of the course are just not good. The greens were extremely slow, bumpy, and inconsistent. This course is good for a beginner level, as it is very short. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Challenging Course - Great Layout

One of the more challenging courses you'll ever play - just about every hole has water. You can score well if you keep it in the short grass. We loved the layout - no two holes are the same. Course conditions are decent for this time of the year. I would recommend this course to the lower handicap players.

Fantastic Course

Excellent, well-maintained course. Plenty of different tee's that appeal to golfers of all skill levels, but still a championship caliber test from the tips. Greens were in phenomenal shape - receptive to all approach shots and rolled very smooth. Will definitely be back.

Great Challenge and Value

Course is challenging, especially getting off the tee. If you are not controlling your driver, you can expect to struggle and probably lose some balls. The course offers a championship caliber layout. I was a bit disappointed in the bunkers and greens. Neither areas looked like they had been cared for by previous play. The greens had a lot of unfixed ball marks, and putts did not roll smoothly. Bunkers looked like they hadn't been raked all day. Overall, when you add in the price and customer service, this is still a 5-star course.

Excellent Course for the Price!

Great layout. Course is fairly challenging, but offers multiple tees for all skill sets to enjoy. Greens aren't the quickest, but they are smooth and roll true, and also very receptive to approach shots. If you are considering this course, it is worth the drive.

Good Short Game Challenge - Nice Layout

The course isn't the longest, but still offers a nice challenge . The greens are fairly small, so accuracy with the irons is a must. The course is in decent shape - a little dry, and the holes looked like they hadn't been changed in a couple days. No problems with the customer service. Overall, the course is slightly above average when you add in the price.

Decent Course for the Price

Pros:
Excellent customer service.
Decent tee-to-green conditions
Challenging from the tips (~6800 yards)

Cons:
Slow greens
No driving range
Blind tee shots = lost balls and slow play

Summary:
If you are looking for a cheaper course to play that offers a somewhat challenging layout, give this a try. There are much nicer courses around the Charlotte area in the same price range.

Greens were Disappointing

I played this course back in early December and really enjoyed the course, however, the greens were so slow that it made for a less than enjoyable round. I really enjoy the course layout and the shot-shaping required to maneuver around the course, but the greens will unfortunately stop me from playing here again anytime soon.

The clubhouse is nothing flashy. The gentleman in the pro shop was very nice. The driving range is pathetic, in my opinion. No grass to hit off of. The course offers a nice layout - definitely a lot of birdie holes. There are some pretty holes, but a lot of short par 4s. The greens were a little slow and beat up in some areas. I can't say I would recommend this course to a friend, unless they can play it for ~$20.
