Pace of play was awful

Every time I go to this course I see 5 people playing together all over the place. This time I was behind 1 group of 5 and also a group of six. They never have a Marshall, so play is always backed up. All they are looking for is to make money. They could care less about how many people they put out on the course at a time. I can't say really anything bad about the course and that's the sad part. If it wasn't such a pain to play behind groups of 5 or 6 it would t be a bad course to play at all.

Quality golfing in Columbia

Thought about playing GC of South Carolina but reviews said it was in bad shape. Linrick was in good shape and good price for the money.

Good Course

Overall the course was in good conditions! Great value for the money and a good pace of play. Fairways are cut a little long than most places but still nice fairways. Rough is tough stay out of there. Very nice layout

Management needs work, course doesnt.

This course is one of the nicest I have played in the Columbia area. However, a group of 6 gentlemen in t shirts and Jean shorts were allowed to play together and slowed down my group of 3 tremendously. This is inexcusable. Please begin enforcing a proper dress code. Also, everyone and their mother knows that only 4 golfers should be allowed to play together at once. Please begin enforcing proper golf etiquette and rules that even courses not as nice as Linrick abide by.

LinRick

Course is in great condition, especially the greens. We played the back tees, which made the course a little more challenging. The staff was extremely polite and professional. The course is well kept and a great value for the money. I would highly recommend this course for players of all abilities.

Secret Gem

A great layout and the course was in good shape. Greens rolled well. Great elevation changes on the back nine will make you use every club in the bag.
Would like to have a marshal out there to keep the pace flowing but otherwise a beautiful day.

Awesome Course

Great course. Best public course you will find in Columbia. Always in great shape. Other than the somewhat terrible golfers that are extremely slow its a great course and challenging back 9.

Terrible staff

Showed up at 12pm, guy working in pro shop was very rude, said we couldn't play and couldn't get our money back. He said since the weather was bad he was about to close and did not care that we pre paid, told us it wasn't his problem. If he hates his job so much he should quit. I will never play here again simply because or him.
