After being closed for a while it was nice to play the course again. Conditions appear to be improving , but we all know that's a process. I hope the new ownership is successful, it's a fun course to play and has some fantastic views. Please trim the vegetation between the landing areas on hole 13. That hole is hard enough as it is.

While the layout has aged well the course itself does show it's age. The biggest thing that could be improved is drainage. It had not rained the day before but the irrigation overnight left a lot of standing water on the course and the cart paths. There are also some patches of fairway that need attention. We saw the green crew working hard during the round. We paid half the price of other area courses, but they are not twice as nice so it was a good value. I would not hesitate to play here again.

I really like the layout of this course. I wish the course could afford a larger budget for ground improvements. Perhaps one day.

Let me start by saying that I love the course. Great layout, good conditions. Two things you need to know. 1) Only members can walk. Not a huge deal but it's much easier to stay warm walking if the temps are under 40 degrees. 2) If you are behind the Men's Golfing Association you will not finish in under 4:30, EVER. I doesn't matter how many holes the last group falls behind, they will never let you play thru. Nothing will be done by the course to help you, you are their prisoner for the remainder of your round. I will be back in another 6 months to see if things have changed to provide a better quality experience to all patrons, not just the MGA.

The course has a nice layout and overall good conditions. My only real issue with the course is green set up. The greens are undulated with lots of sloped areas. Why in the world would the pins be placed on these slopes or the edge of ridges when the speed of the green is so fast? Had more putts than I care to remember just miss the cup, while rolling slow enough to read "Callaway" with each revolution, only to pick up speed and roll out another 10-15 feet. Just not my idea of a good time, I didn't enter the "Club Championship"

The course is coming back great. Thank you new owners.

The course is in great condition from tee to green. Lot's of water and doglegs. A number of the greens slope front to back with downhill approach shots. Be careful.

I love the course. The normal rack rate ($40 plus) is a bit steep but I'd play there anytime if it's around $30. Many tee box's, surely one fits your game. Each nine has a different feel, from flat to elevation changes. Need to move the ball left and right to score well. BIG greens, but they were rolling great!

I've played the course a few times before so I knew what I was getting into. It's a course that rewards accuracy over raw power. If you take what it will give you you'll have fun. The greens were wonderful, a little fast but they rolled nice and true. Looking forward to my next trip.

You really need to think each shot through before swinging. On some holes I landed in the middle of the fairway and ended up in the woods, others I missed the fairway only to end up rolling right back to the middle. You'll need distance and trajectory control off the tee. Length is only a good thing if you can control it. Overall conditions were great for Feb. Every bunker I saw was neatly raked. Looking forward to the next trip!

We played from the blues which is one box forward. Be prepared to need to work the ball in both directions, especially right to left as a number of holes have trees lining the left side of the fairway with the tee box on the left as well. Good luck on the green. They roll true, but fast with lots of slope. You will have at least one 3 putt....per side. There is not a lot of protection from the wind so you might want to work on stinger and punch shots at the range if it's windy. A great, humbling challenge.

Nice course for the money. Just be prepared to hit a draw and fade on the tee box.

Booked the round because it was a Nicklaus design. He may have designed it but he doesn't maintain it. I came to Hilton Head expecting fantastic conditions. The Muni at home is in better shape.

Got a hot deal and played for $39.00. Cold, 45 degrees, and cloudy day and we had the place to ourselves. Not sure I'd ever play if I had to pay full price, but I would pay $39 to play rounds like I did anytime.

Almost every shot on the course needs to be accurate for distance and trajectory. Only a couple of chances to "grip it and rip it". Greens are tough by design but roll true, and that's all anyone can ask for. Beautiful views abound. Be prepared to hit every club in the bag .

The front nine is in great shape and is rather mild mannered. Once you make the turn hold on. The conditions are less than stellar. Be prepared to hit shots off of some of the worst lies you have ever had. If you can avoid trouble and big numbers you have done well.

I played here at the first of June and the winterkill, like many courses in the area, was terrible. It is obvious that the green keepers have been working very hard. I will not be waiting two months to go back again.
