I believe that Colonial Country Club is a private course.
I'm not a member, but I was able to play via a voucher deal they had through the Carolinas Golf Association. This is an excellent course, with the most challenging aspect being the fast greens with slopes. I was told by the pro shop that the stimp reading was ~12 on the day I played. The greens are Ultra Dwarf Champion Bermuda according to their website. Golfpass shows "bent grass" as the greens type, and this was likely the case some years ago.
This is a very walkable layout, with good bunkering and some unique holes. This is the kind of course of which one would want to be a member. I live too far away to consider membership. There is a large swimming pool and tennis courts for those who appreciate those amenities. I will be looking to play again should they continue the voucher program with the CGA.

The most unique feature that I liked is that they painted/dyed the fairways green for the cold season. This is appreciated so as to differentiate the rough from the fairway.

Always look forward to playing Cheraw State Park Golf Course. Good conditions, enjoyable layout, and some unique holes. Kind of course that one always wants to play again, and would recommend to others.

very nice Bent greens. No discernable fairway/rough margin at most places. Older design, with minimal fairway bunkers, and greenside bunkers not strategically placed. Some unique holes, with #17 Par 6 being one. Not a championship-type course, but with more of a nice municipal feel. Few areas where one needs to be cognizant of other golfers, so as to not get hit. Enjoyable to play and would like to play again.

The major problem with this course previously was the poor conditions of the cart paths in some areas, with tree roots having raised the asphalt. I am glad to see that this has been addressed. The bad areas of cart paths have been removed and replaced by smooth packed gravel/dirt. The course is great, with Diamond Zoysia greens and no bad spots. The greens are a good challenge, with most putts having some break. The holes are unique, making the layout enjoyable to play. I saw one guy with a walking cart, but this would be a difficult course to walk due to elevation changes. The clubhouse is basic with no frills. I highly recommend this course.

Greens 4.5/5 Nice bent grass, some very tough complexes
fairways 3.75/5
layout 4/5
traps unable to evaluate , as they had been covered for the winter. Day I played was Nov. 7, 20, and course scheduled to close for winter on Nov. 9.
This is a course in the mountains (~3500 ft), but isn't a mountain type course. I walked with an battery powered trolley with no problems.
Definitely, a course one would want to play again.

Greens are main issue limiting the grade of this course. I played this course about 5 years ago and greens were very good. Played the course about 1.5 years ago and greens had some bad areas. Recent reviews in May 2020 show that the greens were in good shape. Appears that the greens went downhill some recently. They are somewhat rough, but not bad enough that the course not enjoyable to play.

First time playing this course. Clubhouse, and parking lot gave a municipal course feel on arrival. Course itself has more character than a standard muni.

Greens 3.75, fairways 3.25, traps 3.75, layout 3.5, clubhouse 3.0, staff 5.

Overall 3.7

First time playing River bend YMCA course in 3-4 years. Website states that they have the best greens in the Foothills. They may be right, as these are some of the best greens I seen anywhere.
Wind was 15 -20 mph, making scoring difficult. Fairways 3.5/5, Greens 5/5, layout 4/5, traps 4.5/5, Clubhouse/staff 5/5, since due to the Covid-19 virus situation, interaction was limited, so gave best score. Round was pre-purchased online. Overall, I give a 4.25/5 for the golf course, with the greens being the highlight. I can't speak to the off course amenities.

Overall 3.75/5

Greens 4.5 bermuda type, been dyed/painted since likely had previous freeze in this area

Fairways 4.0 only # 10 had some issues, could play the ball down.

Bunkers/traps 4.5 very well maintained and good consistency

Layout 4.0 good variant of holes, with uniqueness of most holes. Nice elevation changes, but not too harsh.

Cart Paths 2.5 Like most asphalt paths in this region, get bumpy with time, especially with roots beneath the paths.

Clubhouse 3.75 Very nice staff, Appears to have basic snacks, and not meal type food.

Older style layout. Generous landing areas. Very good bermuda type greens. Able to play ball down. Good cement cart paths. Traps in good shape. I played as single in 2 hrs 20 minutes with no wait, since I started just after a large Scramble tournament ended. Look forward to playing this course again.

Greens excellent bent grass, and very enjoyable to putt. Fairways are mostly narrow, and one can't help but miss fairways even with a good drive due to the slopes guiding balls into rough. Good challenge, with unavoidable side hill lies on a number holes. Moved ball in fairways, but very good lies available in all areas. Course played longer than distances on card would suggest. Would definitely want to play this course again, in only for the great greens.

Greens 4.5/5 bent grass, bunkers 2.5/5, fairways 3/5, tees 3.5/5, layout 3.5/5, staff 5/5, clubhouse/facility 1.5/5 (no frills, small building) Got round for great deal on Golfnow.com. good value. Would play again.
