Better signage

Nothing to do with the course, but we had trouble finding our way while on the base, a few more signs would help.

Love this course.

Course in good shape. Green smooth and true. Firm but held a well hit shot.
We had a tee time of 10:15 but when we arrived they told us it was 10:32. No big deal.
Bridge is out so need to detour through the base. Called pro shop for directions.
Plenty of recruit marine activity. Also a few alligators to enjoy.
Staff friendly and helpful.

Legends Indeed

The Legends are apparent in the names given to each hole - a Marine legend from years past. My favorite was the par 3 third named after baseball great Roberto Clemente. Also, playing with a former Marine gave us perspectives into the course and the surrounding Parrish Island Marine Basic Training Base. One more notable was the prevalence of sizable alligators sunning on the banks of numerous water hazards.

The couse itself was in pristine shape for the time of year - fairways ran true, greens were fairly fast, water seemed to be everywhere but rarely in play, and bunkers had the soft kind of sand we'd love to see at our home courses. All this and we finished in under 4 hours.

We highly recommend this course even with the slow drive through the historic base to get to it. We will be back.

Another great round

Greens are in great shape and lightning fast. Fairways are a little thin, but very well-maintained. Nice white fluffy sand in the traps. 3 1/2 hour round despite very crowded course for a Thursday morning. Manager and starter very accommodating, got us off the back nine to start because of a tee time mixup. Can’t beat the rate for retired military!

Marine base

This course offered a great bang for the buck. Nestled in the marine base of Parris island . Many tees to choose based on your level . Course is level enough to walk. Staff is super friendly and course not crowded. Enjoy the ride in to see recruits marching. Makes you proud of our young men and women.

“Non Resident” price

Heard great things about this course. That being said, this is the ONLY golf course in the low country that does not give a resident discount unless you live in the TWO neighboring counties. I have played everywhere in Hilton Head, Bluffton and the surrounding areas and have always been treated as a “local”. I live in Savannah, Ga by the way. Do yourself a favor and play another course that is as nice or better cheaper. Not worth the price to play here. Will NEVER play this course again. So much for being a former Marine. Semper Fi !!!
