Straight forward course with three personalities

I have played Lancaster several times over the last few years. It provides a more economical choice for the area compared to other public/Semi-private courses wanting $70+ on a Saturday morning.

For late August, the course has not burned out. The greens were in good shape and rolled true. As is the case in high heat, coupled with recent rains, the greens were a little longer and subsequently slower than for my taste.

The course is divided into three distinct sections each requiring a different thought process off the tea. Overall the course favors left to right ball flights for a right handed golfer. Only 2 holes go the other way with only 1 having a penalty for going right. (#17) Even from the tips, the course is not long, just over 6500 yards, and plays better from the back.

With regards to the three sections, holes 1-5 are wide open and one would have difficulty to find trouble off the tee. Other than #10, holes 6-13 all put a premium on accuracy more so than length and none require a driver. (my 3 wood is usually around 230 yards) The last 5 holes require thought and the ability to move the ball. 14 and 16 are the two par 5's both require a fade. Do not hit driver on 16 if you cannot fade the ball as it will go through the fairway. Likewise for 17 except with a draw.

If you are looking for an enjoyable, less expensive place to play on the weekend, Lancaster is worth your time.

Great golf course with a wonderful staff. I love the layout of the course from the very manicured fairways to the nice greens which was a little speedy but playable. My foursome already asking to let’s go back soon.

Good

On hot days and humid days you should have a cart that goes around with refreshments and food being that there is no water on the course. One free bottle of free water does not cut it.

Course in very nice shape

I play here often even when I have 2 other courses in my membership 30 miles closer to my house. The course is a ton of fun and it is almost always in very very nice shape. If you’ve never played it get out and try it you’ll like it especially the island green par 3. It’s a doozie.

Great place and not to far from south Charlotte area

Great conditions, great carts but they are a little slow. The pace was good and but the twosome pair with us was a little slow. The tee boxes, fairways were in great shape. The staff was very friendly and we felt welcome. The amenities were not good, but they had all the essentials. Maybe, the regular snack shop was closed during these trying times. Great experience overall, I’ll be back!!!

On-line booking

Your online site does not offer senior rates. I have been severely overpaying to play the course because of this. Once booked, the club house attendant cannot change the fee to senior rate

First Time -- Will be Coming Back

Played LGC for the first time today. I'm from Charlotte, so I drove about 50 minutes to get there. Very rural area outside of Lancaster, SC. I've played other Springs Golf Courses in Fort Mill, SC and this one is as good or better than those courses (Fort MIll CC and Springfield GC). Obviously, a good bit further from Charlotte, but if it was closer, it would be my "go to" course. I look forward to playing it again

Great Conditions

The course was in amazing condition. Wide open fairways allow you to play every drive. Greens are incredibly tough to read and put. I'm normally a solid putter and found myself 3 & 4 putting after being on in GIR. The greens made the course a lot less fun.
