Great layout

I love the wide open fairways and it wasn't just flat. Dry because of the weather but greens were good.

Good course

The course was great, needs some rain, but I think everything in the area is in the same boat…. BIG DEAL the reservation system does on Golf Now does NOT link with the courses reservation system… so they were fitting in where and when could….

Weird but fun

Weird start in the pro shop. I booked a tee time on golf now for $35. When I went to check in they said they couldn’t honor the golf now price since golf now was advertising “twilight rates” in which case the course doesn’t off anymore. Understandable but wouldn’t their golf now contract be void if they don’t accept the golf now price? Since I’m a veteran, the round cost me less than on golf now so I was very grateful for the accommodation. Course is in great shape and the greens are tricky. All things considered I had a blast on this course.

Not worth the money.

Took over 5 hours to play a round on the wildcat course. We were backed up 3 deep on tee boxes because of one group. Won’t be back.

Raining - Call ahead to confirm if the course is open...

Had a reserved T-time for Thursday early afternoon. It rained during the morning hours and forecast called for the rain to end with clearing skies in the afternoon. Arrived at the course at noon and it was closed for the day. First time there and had to stop to do the background check and obviously was not told the course was closed. Never got any communications from the pro-shop/course to let us know it was closed. When we looked in the Pro-shop, there was someone in there watching TV but they ignored us and didn't address our presence so we just left. I did not get a credit back from GolfPass since T-time was booked. Weather ended up being nice in the afternoon and couldn't figure out why and who at the course made the executive call to close for the entire day - just odd. Ended up calling another course in the area and was able to get on last minute. Was very much looking forward to playing the course at Fort Jackson but overall it was a bad experience which was a unfortunate!

Ft Jackson

Was finally able to play 1 of the 2 courses on Ft Jackson. Unfortunately got there during an exceptionally hot period. Course was in good shape considering but the heat whipped me. Hung in there to finish the round because I was enjoying the course. Challenging but playable. Will definitely be back (when it's cooler).Appreciated the water coolers on course. My only negative was slower players not picking up their pace or letting people thru.

Also want to get back and play the Old Hickory course!

A little bit of a hassle

The course was in good condition with pace being a little slow at times. Far as golfing it was very nice. I had called a couple days prior to playing since this course is physically located on a military instalation what course of actions do we need to take to get on base. The gentlemen said go to the gate and let the guard know your gonna visit the course and he may require you to get a pass or co tinie to enter. I as a veteran had very little issue but one of the gentlemen that was to meet there wasn't allowed access because he didn't have birth certificate or a couple other forms of ID he did have his license. So if your a non veteran and want to play here insure you have more than driver license cause that want get you in. I do recommend this course but there needs to be a better amount of information given about access.

Always confusing here

Starter never gives you any info on if you have other players in your group. I had played 4 holes and the maintenance crew was confused because they said the course I was on was closed. Starter never said it was. I played all 18 and other groups appeared as I pressed on. Tee boxes need work on a few holes but fairways and greens are way better than they have been. Cart paths are terrible here.
