one time jewel

I have to think this was once one of Ocala's finest courses. Layout was classic with large bunkered greens and fairway traps that made you pick you shots. Wide fairways with great Grandaddy Oaks. Conditions were not great but reviews said they were better with new ownership, so I guess it was really poor. Greens decent, but there is a lot to take care of with a small crew. Tired looking facility with few players on a perfect fall day. Certainly a winner for the 5 bucks each we played on Golfnow.com, but for the usual 35 listed....no.

painterdude,

We are constantly trying to improve upon the course. We have taken measures to deal with the concerns that our golfers bring up. Come back out and play sometime as we hope to provide you with a better experience.

disappointed

always one of my favoite courses over the years. This time whoever set the pins had them on side hills, near the edges of the greens and on down slopes and humpbacks. It was obvious that they had been there for a long time as the low side of the cups had chuncks out and dead grass, from people having uphill comeback putts for maybe a week or me. Used to be the pride of Santee....better off at Santee National or Wyboo. Sorry to report this.

always a great choice

don't let the practice green scare you....the course was in it's usual good above average condition. Always worth the trip up or down to santee National. The only problem for me was the length of 2 par 3's. Having to get to a 200 yarder is not that easy for a guy in his 60's. .....but the challenge can be met.

wonderful place

Played here last summer(2013) in the sweltering South Carolina July heat. Lots of shade and cool drinks. We wanted to come back again so we made a return trip this week(April) during my wifes spring break. What a great layout, hills, winding fairways and large pines. The scenery is great, the staff is super and the course was in great shape other than a few greens had been topdressed. Considering the ice storms we had this winter the conditions were fine. Not the hardest course, but long enough and plenty of traps. A few lake views as well makes this a worthwhile trip if you're in the Cheraw area.

not as good as the memory

played here on vacation around 10 years ago. Still a nice friendly layout, but the greens were bad. Not only top dressed, but very rough and bumpy. Lot of airation in SC this time of year, but this was beyond normal. The Wyboo Plantation course across the street is way superior. Easy course, but lacking in some respects.

terrific layout and fine condition

My wife and I have played this course several times over the years. First time was several years ago on a golf package and now we live less than a hour away. Always in great shape and the prices in the summer are great and even better with Golfnow.com. If you're heading north or south on Interstate 95 stop in Manning SC and make this one of your regular stops. The course across the street is nice too and just south of Manning in Santee, home of 3 other nice tracks.
