Patriots Point Golf Links

I took customers here and this was during the time of the coronavirus “Stuff”. So perhaps I should give the course/staff a pass given this might be a tough time for all. I suspect their play was very down and who knows how much they’re in the hole thanks to all the economic shutdown that’s happened as a result of the reaction to CV19.

That said, the bag drop guy was friendly as was the cart return dude. Staff at check in looked like they just got news someone in their family died and didn’t care to engage in any conversation or Attempts at jokes. To the point where even customers said when walking out, “geez, real friendly staff they were.” Thats not the start to the day you’re looking for with customers.

That aside, range and putting green was closed due to alleged wet conditions. Course was also cart path only which sucks big time when you don’t favor the side of the cart path on every shot. But that’s not course fault.

Course conditions themselves were below average in my opinion for courses in this area. Teeboxes below average, fairways average to below, greens were average at best. Sand traps were terrible which I suspect was because of virus times and rain and course not taking the morning of. But this should have been adjusted in the price in my opinion. $80 for a round in these conditions was inappropriate in my opinion.

I played the course 15 years ago and the conditions were about the same back then as I recall as well. Average at best. The course is the n a beautiful plot of land with iconic views. But it also means super windy which sucks for my level of play (7 handicap). It was 10-20 mph winds. And it was super windy from last time I played 15 yrs ago.

I would have enjoyed the opportunity to play nearby Charleston National or Dines West but no tee times available.

Not worth the money at all. Choose any other course in Charleston.

Course is in bad shape. I was told that will be closed for a year and a half to make major improvements.

A cow pasture would have been in better shape. Course is in horrible shape, greens were rock hard The staff claims its a denim free course but in all seriousness, work overalls should be the required dress.

This course is just a tourist trap, it is a disgrace to the city of Charleston. The fairways are horrible and the greens are decent at best. There is no ranger to keep pace of play up, and it is usually very slow on weekends. If you pay over $40 to play here you are getting ripped off. The only nice part of the course is 17 and 18 because of the harbor views.

The staff was friendly.... sorta. For the first few second of the conversation they’re all about helping them you’re an inconvenience it seems. Got there early to try and hit the range since it had actually been dry for a couple of days and the driving range was closed and when I asked why I couldn’t get an answer. The practice green was blotchy and in awful condition and was hoping that wouldn’t be the case with the course but sadly it’s like the greens were burnt up in the middle of winter somehow. Painted and ugly. Bunkers were basically rock solid from not being raked with water still holding in some of them. The course just felt kind of like any other course you’d play that’s flat with palm trees. You had to wait till the last hole to get to the “ocean holes” which were actually just on the inlet which I knew going into it but they insisted it was the ocean lol. If you can get a hot deal I’d say that’s about the upper value of this track but definitely not worth full price. Not even close.

A scenic course with some challenges. The greens were slow and spotty. Very windy. Pace was pretty good.

Course is in poor condition, more like a typical city owned course in small town America. Grossly overpriced considering course conditions, even compared with other coures in the Charleston area. Therefore, it is not a good value for your money. Only redeeming quality is the location, with beautiful views of the water, which is the supposed reason they can charge the price

The course really went downhill last year but the grounds are starting to look much better than a few months ago. Not far from house and can’t beat the views of the water. Will be back.

Good layout, great views, many easy holes, a few tough ones. Enjoyable day, great staff. Some mud and standing water but generally good condition

location and views were good... but that’s where it ends... bad greens, bumpy fairways and totally overpriced I would not return...

This was my second time playing Patriots Point and it is going to be my last! The conditions of the course were absolutely horrendous. I’m not sure where all the money is going because it’s certainly not going back into the course. If it weren’t for the location of the course, they wouldn’t be able to charge a tenth of what they currently charge. I’ve played courses that cost $10 that are in better shape than this one. Do yourself a favor and save your money. There are plenty more courses in the Charleston area that are far better than Patriots Point and for a better value.

Recent play @ Patriots Point comments: while a scenic and decent course,

- prior rains made for Cart Path only play

- no beverage cart on course

- cart paths are in need of repair in certain spots

- golf carts could use upgrading (slow, no electronic screens)

- need to spray and warn of red ant piles on course! 2 of the 3 players were in a pile a few times!

Enjoyed playing here. Great course with a fun layout and good waterway views. It felt a bit like they stack groups on the first tree so we felt rushed most of the time. Bachelor parties are common here so don’t be surprised if you find yourself waiting all the time while they take shots.

First time playing the course and there were absolutely no warnings about damage to the course or course condition in general. We got to the course and the staff is very kind and helpful but the course was completely torn up. The fairways looked like the had waves through them and the greens had sand all over them. The cart paths look like they were attacked by a sledge hammer. It was not at all what we expected and was more than we expected to pay for. I would not play or recommend this course again.
