Disappointed at Best
Not the first time playing this course and typically look forward to playing it. Very disappointed in the condition of the greens considering the rate charged. If I wanted sand, I’d go to the beach. If I wanted fuzzy greens, I’d go to a much cheaper golf course. The greens and fringes were not much different. The greens had not been rolled or cut in what seemed to be weeks and the last time they were cut, it seemed that many spots in all the greens were scalped or cut very inconsistently. I sincerely hope this is just a bad time and the course will turn around because it’s a fantastic layout. But $70 for that was shameful.
Green was horrible
Green was spiked, full of sand and bumping and they put on the Green a lot of strip of new green
It was very disappointing. For the rest a beautiful lay out, a typical myrtle beach golf course
Plugged the greens
They plugged the greens 2 weeks ago. They didn’t charge us the rate on the app. They were very accommodating but the greens were really slow and sandy.
Good Value
This golf course has three nine hole tracks. We played the Sand and the Piper nines. Both nine hole tracks were pretty nondescript, very wide fairways not much trouble, not much character .The Sand nine was in very rough condition, the Piper 9 was in much better shape. I can not comment on the Bay 9. Our fee was around $50 per person which is why I give it a good value. But as far as the golf course goes, we wouldn't probably play there again.
Double tees
Absolutely the worst ever…… made the turn and waited for a foursome to load up in carts for ten minutes when nobody was in front of us….. I understand rules but when common sense stops all is lost
Amazing Course
This golf course is beautiful! The fairways and greens were amazing!
Fore some had a great time
We all enjoyed playing the course. Very friendly service and helpful. Course was great. Will be back soon.
Cart Paths are Horrible
⛳Cart Paths really need repair or improved, somebody is going to get hurt, recommend riding the rough course is in good condition⛳
