The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort
Played On 02/29/2020Very Nice Course, but Oddly Different
I'll start off by saying this is an unbelievable golf course. But... It's much different than most golf courses. Reason being there aren't any bunkers. All of the green side bunkers are hard pan. It takes getting used to. Sometimes getting into a green side bunker isn't such a penalty. Here it is. Unless your used to playing muni courses then you won't have any trouble. With that being said it's all around a great course. This is why it is a major in 2021 for the pros. When the wind is up like it was when I played it, good luck. Even when the wind is down it is extremely difficult. All of the greens are raised higher than I've ever played. Even when you hit the green there is a good chance your ball will bounce and fly over the green or spin and come right of the slope. The greens were fast and crunchy when I played it. The grass was dormant when I played it as well. I'm assuming during the spring and summer the greens smooth out and become much more playable.
The only reason I could even give this course a 4 star in the course conditions, value for the money, and course layout is because of the bunker or lack their of conditions. There technically aren't any bunkers on the course as they all play like wastelands. Anyways this is a wonderful track, one of the the best challenges I have ever faced. I'm basically nit picking the conditions and bunkers, but I wanted to provide my honest feedback.
Anyways everyone should play this course at some point in their life. It's a true test and a great course.
Old Corkscrew Golf Club
Played On 03/20/2019Best Public Course Around
It's normally around $179 to play, but I got on for $80 so it was definitely worth the price. Not sure I would pay full price. It was well taken care off other than some of the bunkers were a little washed out, but not really the courses fault. They got a bunch of rain the night before. The staff was very friendly and the pace of play was pretty good. Greens rolled good. Probably 10 or so on the stemp. All and all a good time.

Course itself isn't too bad. The greens were long and furry though.
