Played here again as part of a package in Santee. Definitely the best conditioned course of our trip and totally worth the short drive.

Tee to green course is in amazing shape. MOST of the bunkers are in good shape, but there are some that took a hit from Hurricane Michael which will take some time to fix. Greens rolled well with no real imperfections to speak of. Clubhouse is no frills, which is perfect.

Took advantage of the replay opportunity and played another 18. This course is a must-play when you're in Santee.

Played here as a part of our Santee package and were not disappointed.

Course was in fantastic shape. With the exception of a few tee boxes that needed a bit of work (Bermuda + Shade tough to manage), tee-to-green was great. Greens rolled smooth and had minimal imperfections. We were able to roll around and play another 9+ after finishing our AM round.

Santee National will continue to get the nod from our group each trip.

Had the pleasure of getting out to Waterford again for an AM round. Facility is the definition of no-frills, as always. Range and practice green are in good shape.

Overall course conditions, outside of tee boxes and a few spots on some fairways, were quite good. Slightly more than half of the tee boxes need some serious TLC. If the tees could be fully reno'd, this course would be an excellent value. Greens were in great shape but were not particularly fast. Bunkers were raked and all had good sand.

Was pretty happy with the round. Waterford is a good local favorite for us.

Have been coming to Santee for a couple years now on an annual golf trip and were pleasantly surprised by Wyboo. Fairways and greens were in great shape and roughs were OK, as they are coming out of dormancy.

We were probably 4 of a couple dozen on the course, and pace of play was quick. Definitely a no-frills experience and that's exactly what we needed. Took advantage of the replay deal with our package and played another 18.

Wyboo is definitely not one to miss. Kudos to the grounds crew for keeping things playable through the winter, I'm sure the spring and summer will be top notch.

Had Lake Marion on the agenda again for our annual trip. Other than some pace of play issues on our initial 18, everything was great. Course conditions were as expected for early spring. Fairways and greens were in good shape and the rough is still coming out of dormancy. Not overly challenging but a few holes can jump up and bite you if you get too lax.

Definitely worth taking advantage of the replay deal here if it's part of your package. We ended up playing another 9 and had a great time with a good bit less golfers on the course.

Had Santee National on the agenda again for our annual golf trip and loved the value. Course was in pretty solid shape with a lot of it still coming out of dormancy. Fairways were top notch. Greens were extremely quick and some unfortunate pin positions made a few holes a bit comical.

Santee National is always a great 1st day course as part of a package deal and we'll likely be coming back again next year.

Jumped out for a quick 9 after work and thoroughly enjoyed this course. It's not difficult by any stretch, but some strategic bunkering and pitched greens make misses tougher to recover from.

Course conditions are great. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Greens were slower than what I'm used to but rolled true. I took it upon myself to fix as many ball marks as I could (as we all should). Most of the tees were in solid shape with only a few being a little chewed up. Most of these are in the shade so it's a bit of a miracle they get grass to grow there anyway.

Overall I was very happy with the experience and will definitely come back again. Kudos to Chester's management and keep up the good work!

Booked a Hot Deal for a late morning start on Sunday and was not disappointed. Top-notch from the get-go and we were able to get off an hour early after warming up at the practice facility. Pace of play was great as the course was relatively empty. We stopped for a quick bite after #10 and let two two-somes through and still managed to barely crack 4 hours for the round.

Aside from some pretty chewed up tee boxes on a few holes, course conditions are outstanding. Greens were pretty fast but rolled true.

Course is definitely worth a try if you haven't before. Plenty of challenging holes and a few relatively easy ones to break it all up. Pretty short from a yardage standpoint compared to some other local courses but they make up for it with bunker placement and other contouring.

Have been playing Waterford for the better part of 10 years and had another great experience this past weekend. Played an early morning time to beat the heat and was pleasantly surprised to find that they hadn't paired us with anyone.

Course conditions are average to above-average for the area. Greens were a tad slow but rolled true. Fairways showed some effects from heat but it wasn't widespread. Tee boxes could use a little bit of work, but they aren't bad.

Rolled through 18 as a two-some in just over 3.5 hours. We'll be returning soon!

Have played here on a number of occasions and once again Crowder's did not disappoint. Traditional wait off the 1st tee (5-10 minutes), but once we got moving things spread out a good bit. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in great shape. Greens tend to be on the slower side but roll true.

Scorecard app shows pace of play at 4:23, so overall a great round of golf at a course that still has its 'hidden gem' flavor. Crowder's is a great track for all ability levels and is unique in being a true mountain course so close to Charlotte.

Was able to snag a great winter deal here and was not disappointed. Had a frost delay to start but the proshop did an excellent job getting everyone situated.

Course was dormant (as most are this time of year) but the conditions were average. Hard soil due to the frost but eventually it softened up when the sun was on it for a bit. Green were in good shape but tough to hold on approach. Putting was tricky with most of the surfaces being a little slow. Carts were in good shape.

Overall had a good experience and will be going back, especially if I can snag a deal.

Decided to give Waterford another chance after the whole Carolina Trail debacle a few years ago. At times they have struggled with effective management and it was evident everywhere on the course. Things have definitely improved since those days.

Course was Good+ condition, just a few things here and there would make it a better value. Tee boxes were struggling a little bit but they weren't bad. Fairways and rough were actually much better than I expected. Greens were in great condition and look to have held up well through the summer. The course and facilities have definitely aged a little (carts, cart paths, etc.), but seem to be holding up well. The practice facility was exactly how I remembered it (maybe they'll get some new range balls soon).

This is still a shot-makers course. Accuracy is definitely valued more than length. A first timer might have some issues here due to a lack of course knowledge, as certain shots/clubs should be avoided.

Overall I was very happy with the condition of the course. Everything seems to be turning around quite well. Hopefully they can keep it up and turn Waterford back into another gem for the Rock Hill/Fort Mill area.

Played a round here as a foursome. It was my first time back at Red Tail in 5+ years and I was impressed with what the new ownership has been able to accomplish. Temporary clubhouse located inside the lodge area but new one is slated to be completed soon behind #1/#14 tee. You do have the option to take advantage of the restaurant in the lodge but we opted for sandwiches at the turn.

Weather was quite poor, with rain for a majority of the round and the course held up well despite the conditions. Tee boxes were in good shape (some casual water). Fairways and rough were in good shape despite not being mowed in a few days due to weather. Greens were in fantastic shape. About half of the bunkers across the course are under repair and should be completed by next season. Overall the course was in great shape.

This is definitely a course that I will be visiting again. A true mountain golf course with varying degrees of elevation changes. A short drive from Boone and you'll feel like you're all by yourself here.

I've been playing Regent Park for 5+ years and it was a little tough to read some of the previous reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised yesterday. While the course was a little more crowded than I anticipated for an afternoon round, everything moved as smoothly as it could. The starter/ranger was polite and made numerous rounds around the course to ensure pace.

The course was in good shape. The majority of the tee boxes were in great shape. Fairways were on the plus side of OK with just a few areas needing work. Bunkers had been raked and it looks as if they might have added sand at some point. Greens were quite soft, but this is normal for Regent. They were very receptive and rolled true (sometimes quick). The main issue on most, if not all, of the greens was some scarring from folks neglecting to repair their pitch marks. Whoever cut the holes today was definitely in a bad mood, which made for comical pin positions (and usually a good laugh when I saw them).

You can tell the carts are starting to age but I didn't have any issues with mine. The practice facility (I didn't use) is beginning to take shape and is looking much better. The staff in the clubhouse was friendly and got me on my way quickly.

I really can't remember any 'real' issues that I had on the course. Regent Park (while aging) played as it always has and I was very happy with that. I will be coming back to play again.

Spent the afternoon with my dad & brothers out here and was not disappointed. Facilities were in great shape (the practice range COULD be better...but not a huge deal). Course lived up to expectations. Fairways were plush and well cared-for. Greens were in great shape and rolled true. Some ongoing construction around the course, but anyone that lives in the Charlotte-area would be used to this. You will get what you pay for here, if you time it right you can find some great deals.

Chose Rock Barn for a Friday round and was not disappointed. Course was in fantastic shape and the weather could not be more perfect. Played the Jones course and it lived up to its reputation. Greens rolled super-true. There were a few instances of ongoing construction throughout the course but for the most part everything was quiet. Would have liked for the course to be a little more well-marked (had a rangefinder so this is negligible). Overall a great day. Will definitely have to come back and play here again.

Played here as a Father's Day gift. Course was in great shape and provided a unique challenge being a mountain course so close to Charlotte. Pace of play was a little slow but mostly due to a logjam of groups in front of us. Will definitely be playing here again.

Top-notch conditions for early in the season. I would expect it to get much better as the weather turns around. Greens in great shape (a little slow) but otherwise just needs a little more time to shape up.
