First Round of the Season

The course was in decent shape considering the time of year. The pace of play was good. This was only my second time playing here. That last time was at least 10 years ago. I had forgotten about the great views on the back 9. I would return here for sure and plan on doing it later in the spring.

No Pics

One thing that I didn't care for. There was a man on a golf cart that will befriend you on the first tee. Drive up and chat a bit and then when you are ready to tee, he will snap your pic. He will then catch you at the turn and ask for 20 bucks for the pics. He never makes it clear what he is up to. I don't care for carnival hucksters when trying to golf. If it was my course this Dude would be gone. They don't over seed the fairways just an FYI. Friendly folks.

Sunny day

Enjoyed the round for the very reasonable price via a Hot Deal. Area was deluged with rain the day before so the course was very wet with some standing water. Great setting. First ever round in SC so I don't know how the conditions compare to other courses in the area this time of year. Some greens were a bit rough. Good value for winter golf close by while on travel. I wouldn't drive more than 30 miles to play here though.

Patriots Point

This course probably gets overlooked due to the quality and diversity of courses in the Charleston area, but I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Got a great price on GolfNow that made the round well worth the money. Front nine had one or two memorable holes, but the back nine is where this course shines. Great views of the harbor and the island green par three made this a course I would play again. Pace of play was pretty good, although it was a Monday morning so not many golfers out on the course. Not a must play in the Charleston area, but as a cheaper alternative to some of the big name courses, Patriots Point gives you an enjoyable round.

Front and back 2 different courses

The staff and facilities were great. We found the front 9 pretty boring, but the back 9 had beautiful views and much more interesting holes. Course condition very poor. Fairways had moguls everywhere (or were those speed bumps). Greens mostly in poor condition. Would recommend it only at a significantly discounted rate.

Thanksgiving Holiday Golf

My wife and I knew the pace of play would be slow, but the view and proximity to Charleston more than made up for the delays. The staff was professional and friendly as check-in through golfnow was extremely easy. I had no trouble finding a tee time and we left the first tee on time. Pace was slow, but the course was in good shape. There were very few hazards that came into play and most greens approaches were unguarded by the absence of bunkers. The sand in all bunkers especially greenside was excellent especially for a public course. We would definitely recommend the course with the understanding that it is a popular public course!

Ok, BUT

Greens are in lousy shape in some locations. Have numerous dead/bad spots, but it did seem to put ok. Also had numerous fire ant hills- one of which I foolishly didn't notice and placed several clubs on top of( cart path only) . Still ok to play with beautiful views of Charleston Harbor.

Slow Play

They allowed to many 1 or 2 player groups who were not good golfers and slowed play down greatly

It took 4 hours to play only 12 holes before we became to frustrated and quit

Asked at clubhouse if there were course marshals and told no. The guy at desk just stated you should just play around them but it was 2-3 groups like this ahead of us

Very enjoyable but tight

We played as a twosome but moved along fine in 4:15. The course was in good conditions. Cart path only was justified due to wet areas. Fairways were narrow. Rough was, uh, rough when you miss the fairway. That was the main defense to an otherwise playable course. Great valve. Terrific views. Will be back.

Hole 17 is the reason you should play here.

So we played Patriots point a little over a week after the historic levels of rain and flooding in the Charleston area. I have absolutely given them a pass on any wet areas still on the course and the fact that it was cart path only. I can say that there wasn't too much damage to the course. Our twosome enjoyed our round, we found that the holes were varied, and the greens were straightforward. Rough was a bit long and unforgiving, but we were not used to the bermuda grass. We did have a pretty good time trying to hit the island green on 17 - a 125 yard shot from the tee affected by wind, a surrounding marsh and a slight bit of elevation.
That being said there are areas the course could improve, - Most notably cart paths. A couple of fairways were quite lumpy (12)- not sure if that was because of storm damage or just an unpolished product. Staff was friendly and efficient. For the location, price we got on golfnow and the views on 16,17 and the green of 18 made it an enjoyable day.

Rough was long, but everything else was great

Rough was so long that you had to walk right on top of it to see it often times. US open style, hard to make progress out. Rest was better than advertised.
