It was 90 degrees or so and most were staying indoors.

So I never got slowed down at a single hole.

The fairways were well kept and the greens were in great shape.

The courses are scenic. Not easy, not challenging.

We encountered a couple of gators, but they weren't interested in us and we left them alone.
Course is well maintained. Set in the middle of Hilton Head, the city isn't visible most of the time.

The biggest challenge may be figuring out what hole you're on. At one point, I couldn't find #9 Prairie and asked two ladies - they were looking for # 9 Valley. I gave up and played #9 Ridge, then went to #10 Prairie. My GPS was lost too. The course is very hilly, and has some long holes with steep drops, and also a steep climb on one hole. Lots of open space, but a few major hazards. Fun, but I don't keep score. Scorekeepers may not enjoy it as much.

I arrived at 8 AM and was the 2nd golfer out. Many more came while I was there. The course was well-kept and well designed. I didn't lose a ball until the 17th hole. Porta pottie on the 5th / 14th holes.

The first hole to greet me had trees left and right, and a hill beyond the trees. I had no idea where the fairway went from there. No one was ahead of me.
When I got to the 2nd hole, there was a twosome in front of me. I have no idea how they got there. They let me play through.

Hole # 4 had a twosome appear ahead of me from out of nowhere. They also let me play through.

At # 16, I was suddenly behind two foursomes.

There were wild turkeys in abundance, along with lots of scenic trees which made a loud noise when my ball hit them.
I donated several balls to the woods and rough.

First, I wish GolfNow listed "no denim" where appropriate. I was wearing blue jeans, and the Ranger told me about it (but let me play).

The course is well laid out, scenic, and flows well. Some fairways are not as wide as I needed them to be but that's always the case.

This course has huge boulders in the ground frequently, and those are to be avoided. The ricochet can be huge.

If you aren't accustomed to the rough being rocks and hard packed sand, this is a tough place for a hook or a slice. Pretty course, but fairways are tight and unforgiving.

Not a course for walking. Long distances, very hot temperatures.

Restaurant was excellent.

The only problem I had was getting there. My GPS took me to the complex and told me I'd arrived, but the Pro Shop was nowhere to be seen. It's at the top of the hill.

The course is very scenic and well designed. Many holes are 'blind' from the Men's tees, but you can usually figure out where to aim.

On a few holes, you hit across a wide hazard to a small green (#10 comes to mind).

The difference between Challenging and Extremely Challenging is the fairways. Extremely challenging courses have rolling fairways - these are level.

Few trees, but lots of tall thick grass. Several water hazards and some long holes. Course is well maintained and has a good design.

This might be a challenge to find without a GPS, but it's very nice. Each hole has it's own challenges and the scenery along the way is great. Course is very well maintained and well designed. The facilities aren't fancy, but are in great condition. The cook is good with the few items available.

... but it was raining. So I asked if they'd give me a 'rain check' and they did.

To net it out, we didn't play, but will do so sometime in the next year (that's how long the rain check is good).

Drove the roads around the course, it's well cared for and has a nice layout.

The grass in the rough was very long. And the rough intruded into the fairways. If you weren't in the middle of the fairway you ball might be a challenge to find.

Pretty course, lots of ducks. Never saw any deer. Should be called 'Duck Trail'.

I enjoyed my 18 holes at this course, but many wouldn't. The Tee-ing area was in August condition in a dry year (I played in April). The Fairways were in moderately poor condition. The roughs were in great shape. The greens were very good. The course is laid out well, with many interesting challenges. I played in just under 4 hours, behind a twosome who were behind a foursome. With a little better care (mostly water, I think), this would be a very good course. I had the impression that the greenskeeper is new and hasn't had a chance to turn it around yet. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pro shop staff not very cordial, outside of pro shop everyone was super. Course very nice, but play was extremely slow.

When I played there were 3 holes under repair, so I was told to play 3 other holes twice. Greens are a little small. Overall a good course, a little out of the way.

Slightly over watered. Many challenging holes. Cart I got needed work - it didn't kick down when you used brakes, made it a problem on hills and curves. Well kept. Very scenic. Play was backed up on back 9, so I went to driving range for 30 minutes and improved my game. (Driving range is free,)
