The Cleghorn Club

Played Cleghorn several times over the last few years and must say this time the course did not meet expectations. Since the hurricane damage/closure in mid-2024 the course has not opened hole 16 (par 3). And no mention of this on their website. This is a 17-hole course. Several areas still show signs of big trees down. The rest of the course is in decent shape and the greens are great. This is a challenging course that requires correct ball placement off the tee to play the hole well.

1st time playing here and absolutely loved the course and the gorgeous views! Even though there is no hole 16 or sand in any bunkers as a result from hurricane Helena this place was really fun to play! Course layout is incredible. Fairways were nice and greens had some rough patches but pins were in best spots possible. Im sure this place will be back in top shape in no time.

Fairways were great. Greens has some dead spots. Bunkers were atrocious. Barely any sand and weeds growing in them. Course is down to 17 holes and course conditions don't reflect in the price.

Thanks to some much needed rain over the past few weeks, Cleghorn has gone from brown and extra-firm to lush and receptive. Still no sign of activity on #16 which was destroyed by the Hurricane last fall so I played two balls on #12 as a proxy for 16.

This entire round was played in conditions ranging from light mist to moderate rain which made the greens very receptive and the traffic light. All in all this was 3-hours very well spent.

Course overall is really nice. My only complaint is not knowing the 16th was closed ahead of time but it is understandable from the hurricane damage. Would just be nice to know ahead of time or at least offer to replay the first par 3 hole

Incredible 1st experience here. Would be 5 stars from me if a couple of things were better. The bunkers have more weeds in them than sand and some of the greens have some real rough spots in them. (At least they put pins in best parts of the greens). #16 is closed because of the hurricane so totally understandable. The layout and views are amazing! Would like to do a stay and play here if possible.

Sand traps were terrible. Cart path was in shambles. Greens had weeds.

Greens and fairways were in great shape. One hole has not been repaired since the hurricane last year and is unplayable. Sand traps are not being maintained. When I asked the staff, I was told their maintenance barn was totaly flooded, and all of the equipment has not been replaced yet, i.e, the reason for not maintaining the sand traps.

This course has significantly gone downhill. I know they had the hurricane, but that was a year ago. The bushes even driving in the parking lot have weeds grown up as tall as the bushes. This is the same maintenance as around the entire course. I can say that the staffs attitudes have improved over previous ownership. This course has a long way to go to regain its reputation.

The layout had the ‘feel’ from the 70’s and 80’s. The course was beautiful except for the cart paths were pretty beat up, a few greens were in kinda rough shape, and hole #16 was closed.

Even with those issues, I would definitely recommend this course! The practice areas were nice, too (driving, pitching, and putting). I had such a great time that I paid to replay another round!

Beautify course with excellent fairways. A few of the greens were in por shape

Cleghorn is a picturesque mountain course that continues to improve under the new ownership. Other than the 16th hole which was totally destroyed by Hurricane Helene, the conditions are very good. They do, however, need to add fresh sand to the traps (much of it was washed away) and the cart paths need to be repaired in places. (It would also be nice to have some ball washers on course but that's never been a deal breaker.)

What this course lacks in length it makes up for in terrain changes requiring self, and course, management.

Hopefully #16 will be rebuilt and the traps refilled in the near future.

Good course, greens in good shape, fairways in good shape, hole 16 is the only issue since it is closed down

Course is in awful shape. 16 th hole closed. Greens are bad. Bunkers are awful. Place has become a rip off

Rain was in the forecast, so the course was empty. Played in 3 1/2 hr. Mountain course with never a flat lie. Greens were moderately fast and many had some kind of turf rot in areas. Fairway grass was a little thin. It would help if they had divot repair bottles on the carts that were full.

Definitely a fun and challenging course. We'll be back

Nice course and layout. Hole #16 still closed due to Hurricane damage.
