Northwoods Golf Course

Enjoyed the Spur at Northwoods today. They just reopened after redoing their greens. It’s in best shape now that I have ever seen it. Great round for the Golf Now deal my foursome booked. Tough course for seniors .

First time playing this course. It had been closed for two months for renovations. Fairways were good greens were great. Refreshing for South Carolina.

Solid Public Course with a friendly staff that appreciates your business. Fun course to play with your kids.

First time playing this course in a year and I could see improvements in the conditions

There is no grass on greens and they need to tell people this. No excuse because they have water...good 6-8 months ago

The course was in awful shape no grass at all on the greens just sand. The fairways don’t have much grass either like management don’t care so go somewhere else if you want to play Golf

I drove from Maryland to SC to visit my son. We played as a twosome on a Friday afternoon tee time 2:20. there was a five some in front of us and it was not the only 5some on the course. On the 16th tee they let us play through... really. We did finish in 4 hours. The greens were the worst greens I have ever played on in 25 years of golf. they had no grass on them. It was like a spongey surface painted green. There is no rough , all the cart paths have roots growing under them. Overheard at check in.. How are the greens. Attendant says.. "Honestly I have no idea." Not a good response.

I did enjoy time with my son but I would never go back willingly.

I've played this course ~10 times in the last two years, and it's obviously not know for award-winning conditions; other recent reviews reference the fact that the greens are currently spray painted mud, which is 100% accurate.

After making the turn, the ranger drives down to my group as we approached the green on 10, and yelled at us about the course being "cart path only" that day. Not a problem, but we were never told in the clubhouse or at the unmanned first tee, and there were no signs on the carts/club doors/tee boxes. Groups in front and behind us were driving all over. Interesting strategy by the ranger.

All things considered, it's 18 more holes than I would have played otherwise, and the price is fair for the conditions.

A question at the top of the page asked if I would recommend this course to a friend.. Had you asked me this question a year ago my answer would have been most definitely. Improvements were being made and the course was making a come back. But now I would have to say I would not recommend this course to a friend.. at least not at this time. I hoping what I saw was due to a harsh winter. The greens were in very poor condition and the fairways weren't much better. This is one of my favorite courses. The layout can be tough from the back tees, but the course also rewards good shots. It is my hope that as the weather begins to warm we will see conditions improve quickly

Course was in tough shape, looks like a lot of play, could use some maintenance. Greens were poor and painted green. There are no bathrooms on the course and not very lady friendly.

We went on Sunday shortly after a good rain. Course is in good condition but give it 2-3 weeks and it should be excellent. This is one of my favorite courses around Columbia. Don’t be afraid to come here, it has a challenging course for all levels of play!

There are several reasons this course is so popular. It is centrally located, has an outstanding and varied design, good practice facilities, and greens fees are reasonable (even more so when using a GolfNow Hot Deal). The greens are a bit rough but the crew is working hard to get them ready for spring play. If you play as a single or double, start very early or late in the day because wait times can be frustrating. And beware of fivesomes...really not cool for a course of this caliber.

Greens are literally dirt and mud that were spray painted green. Fairways and tee boxes were just fine but lost a lot of strokes on the greens. Not worth the $30 greens fees. Check in guy and ranger super friendly !

The greens were horrible. Looks like the added the green fertilizer (paint) to the greens but there was very little grass and they rolled the greens way too much. The greens were ugly and rolled like the kitchen floor.

90% of the greens are just painted dirt/weeds. Pace of play was horrible at one point on 12 and 13 we had 7 groups. Fairways we ok, traps we great surprisingly.

I’ve played this course 20+ times and have never seen it in this bad of shape. I would never want anyone to play when the greens are pure mud no grass to be seen for miles. And not to mention be put behind a dog fight of a bunch of 5 somes makes for a horrible round. Nope looks like I’ll be finding a new course. Not worth a dime to play

Course use to be nice a long time ago. Now, I don't know what happened. I only play there as a last minute choice. Greens cannot be called greens...

This course is OK. It has improved. But was wet in winter time condition in February. The person checking us in was very cordial. Lady working in their snack bar was very quiet and unfriendly.

This course has made some great improvements in its quality in the last 2 years. It was in good shape for being winter. A few greens were mostly rolled mud instead of grass, but still played well. Would played this course again. Love the layout.
