Pace of play to fast

Played here many times. Reasonable value. Scenic as course has holes along marsh and harbor. Nice Staff. However Tee times are now every 10 minutes and pace of play is expected to be 4:05. For golfers playing at or close to par, this might be reasonable. For the average golfer playing bogey golf or worse this is untenable. We played our round in the expected time but felt rushed and pushed even though we let a pair of better and faster golfers through. Golf is supposed to be a game of leisure but at this pace it is anything but.

Course was in great shape. Greens and fairways were well kept.

Fun and challenging course. No beverage cart available this day on course. Clubhouse closed before we finished. Thought that was a little strange for summertime. Overall, nice experience.

Rough fairways

Patriots Point is a well laid out links course, and I have played there many times, but not recently. The fairways were extremely rough and poorly graded, for reasons unknown. Our golf cart nearly left the ground several times driving over the bumps and dips in the grass. Until that is fixed I won't be going back there to play.

Make sure you don't have plans

Overall course conditions were good. Course is challenging but forgiving so it's fun for any type of golfer. Great scenery right on the water. Pace of play is supposed to be 4:05 but we were at 4 by hole 13, with no marshalls in sight to help encourage a better pace of play. Overall very disappointed I was not able to finish the round because I really enjoyed the actual course.

Average but unique course

As my title has indicated, is a rather unique course. The course condition is average. Green is slow and fairway were vey bumpy and patchy. But it's a fun course to play. You can see some water and city view but not spectacular as some reviewers have indicated. My guess is every one's standard is different.

Post 5 inches of rain

Despite 5 inches of rain the previous day, the course still played decently. This is a long course and it is pretty much wide open. The holes are parallel to each other back-and-forth without many obstacles. The back 9 are more challenging and much prettier holes. I would play again. Great course to practice long fairway shots.

Disappointed

The staff was friendly and upbeat. The pace of play was good, but the course was not in good shape. The fairways were very bare and veryyyy bumpy. The cart paths were crumbling and non existent in places. The views are besutuful, but the golf...not so much. Will not play here again if we return to Charleston area.

The scenery was beaten

The course was in great shape for winter. The fairways were brown but very playable. The scenery more than makes up for that. Yes I'm a northerner. Enjoy this course.
