Real Treat, some reservations

This course is very private and you get there in a very round about way. Very much worth the trip. Two rather different nines await you. The first nine is a bit disarming in that there are curving holes, not really doglegs which can make it very problematic to pick a correct line especially if you generally work the ball just one way. Picking targets can be a challenge, but you must stick to your guns. It is a bit more claustrophobic until the ninth which opens up as does the rest of the course. The second nine is far more creative, varied and visually attractive, even before you get to Port Royal Sound. Very scenic, challenging and memorable. Summary with disclaimer: Really interesting variety of holes other than the obvious weakness I noted of too many holes curving through wooded areas which took me 3-4 plays to really get the hang of. I like long views on a course and parts here blend together in memory/distinctiveness. That said, I fully recommend this course, most would give it 5*, I grade hard.

Classic SC Low Country

Long rated the #1 course in SC until Kiawah Ocean opened and also the local tournament course surpassed it. It is architecturally one of the finest in the lowcountry. Great variety in Par 3 4 and 5 holes. Some trademark holes from Dye (Alps 5th) are here, most holes are lined by housing, but with appropriate corridors. Smallish greens present, except the 18th which is massive. Will be closed soon for a re-grassing project. Architecturally, this course is classic Dye in that angles and position (Strategy) are more important than brute strength. On a hole-by-hole basis, it is more demanding than the local PGA Tour tournament course. I've played about a dozen times over the years, know the area well and never turn down an invitation to play here. There is a premium on the short game here as well as strategic measures. needed to score well. Difficulty ebbs and flows making for a fine experience and challenge. High recommendation.

A Treasure

You won't find greens such as these at many if any Municipal courses. The Par 3's are outstanding examples of Tillinghast at his best (6200 yards). For women and shorter hitters it is one of the best courses you can play just about anywhere. We chose to play the course because we are both panelists for a national magazine ranking Top 100 and best in state courses as one of our motivations, we are also Tillinghast Association members, we were in no way disappointed. Pace of play was just under 4 hours on a Monday in November.

The routing of the course is a joy to walk, don't take a cart, walk this gem. The only caveat is that for today's modern equipment, most of the par 4's are to be considered shortish, but the greens provide challenge to any player. Please note that this is not a ***** from just anyone, this is a wonderful golf course.
