Good Course

I was excited to play this course, but was left a little bit underwhelmed. I was thinking there would be more elevation changes, but the course is relatively flat with the exception of 4 or 5 holes. 1, 8 (feature hole) ,9, 10, 11.

All in all, good conditons, and fun place to play if the pace was better. No one seemed to care about moving along.

Made a last minute change due to rain at our original course. Daniel in shop was very accommodating on the phone and on check in to get us out in short time due to time constraints. Raining for first 3 holes then no rain and threesome played back nine in 1:45. Greens were cut smooth, rolled fast and true. They were in very good shape. The stream that runs thru the course is very clear, and adds to the course. We played with a "no driver" restriction and made for a good play from the whites. We were impressed with the conditions.

Need to advise players of conditions.

Went there on the recommendation of another Clemson parent. Upon arrival, we were able to tee off right away. The signs showing the holes are not very accurate but we were able to figure out the layout. My problem is that when we booked, there was no notification that the greens had recently been aerated making putting difficult. I would have not made the 40 minute drive if I had known.

Nice layout

Was greeted with freshly punched practice greens and a net for a driving range. Not a great first impression. Found out the entire course was aerated and was not happy. That all changed shortly after. This is a target golf course. 1st tee box 5iron nearly put me in the creek. Several irons or hybrids off the tee with a few bomb it holes. I used every club in the bag. The water fall off #8 tee box made up for the poor condition of the box. The par 5s were solid, The creeks running throughout the course made for some interesting decisions. I would like to see this course in good shape.

It’s been better.

I have enjoyed playing this course in the past, but the current conditions are not good. Much of the grass in the general area is thin or dead. The golf carts are getting pretty beat up, and it looks like maintenance in general is having a hard time keeping up with the wear in the course. It’s an interesting layout, and if they put some more money into it, it could be a great golf course. As it is, it’s only fair. I wish they had space for a practice range, but they don’t. I doubt I’ll play there again unless they turn things around.
