Waterford Golf Club

This used to be one of the best courses around. Now their are no golf rangers to encoirage faster pace of play. There too many 2 somes not paired up. Slow players jumping in front of faster players and not letting them play through. The quality of the course was poor at best. There was no distinction between the rough and the fairways. The fairways were dry. No proper sprinkling or erragation system. Especially considering this course is right next to a river. The staff in the cub house looked very uninterested in being there and was not helpful. The bartender was nice but the drinks were overpriced for Rock Hill! I mean come on!! $8.50 for a Captain and Coke!!! I know bars in Charlotte that don't charge that much. The course was not kept up and groomed. The cart paths felt like driving on a mountain side. All broken up and rigid. The cost of greens fees are overpriced for the poor quality of the course. There are several other courses that are nicer and cheaper that I can choose from. Until they lower the prices and raise the quality of the course up I will not go back nor recommend this course!

I read previous reviews about poor tee boxes etc and I would agree. Pace of play on the front was slow, over 2 hours being held up by a twosome of all things. Greens were good, but long and very slow. I would not play here again unless the fee was 25 or less.

Played this course on the 4th of July as a twosome and got paired with another 2-some. Due to the storm from the night before it was cart path only. Finished the round in 4hr 45 min which I believe was good considering it was a holiday and cart path only. Course conditions were good on most of the holes. Some of the tee boxes needed work done, but fairways and greens were in great shape. Bunkers were in good condition as well.

From the start we were having some issues with our cart where it would not start immediately. We would have to toggle back and forth with the key and put it in reverse and back to start it. We called the clubhouse on the third hole and were notified that they would "try" to get us a cart. Did not have anyone come help us. We had to keep working with the cart to get it moving, sometimes having to push it to get it started. We had to swap our carts at the turn. We even mentioned the cart number (#48).

We enjoyed our round at Waterford today but not sure I plan to play here on a regular basis. Likely to visit once every 3 or 4 months if I can get a deal.

The layout and the greens are it's best attributes. Course has some interesting holes that are somewhat challenging.

The greens seem to have recovered from punching a few weeks back. They were a little slow but in very good shape.

Fairways were in decent to good shape.

The tee boxes are between fair and horrible. Half of them were not bad, but the other half were either overgrown or dirt. Played with my wife and the ladies tee on the 18 was so overgrown, we could not see her feet from the cart path.

The cart paths: I know they can't replace all the paths, that would be outrageously expensive...but, at least fill in the pot holes that are 6-8 inches deep...or try to do something where the roots are making motocross ramps out of the paths. BEWARE: you need to be careful driving every path. If you don't pay attention, you could hit a ramp so hard, that you hit your head on the roof of the cart. No, I am not kidding.

All in all, this is a decent course for the money. Try to get a deal on Golfnow.

Bring your game and deet (mosquito spray) , and you'll enjoy a challenging round.

Fairways were good, but tee boxes all need work. Lots of work. Greens aerated and just filling in. The tee boxes were just aweful!!!!

I think that GolfNow should inform you that the greens have been punched or if there is any maintenance on the course the course would be great if the Grange were not

Fairways and rest of the course was good. Greens were still recovering from aeration.

First time played this course Sat. May 27, 2017. Overall the course was in good shape. Tee boxes and fairways in good shape. Only complaint is, greens had recently been aerated, which made putting kind of a joke. (not that my putting is stellar, but this was pretty bad)

Staff was friendly. Had a very good time. Great value through Golfnow.com

I will play this course again.

Got a noon tee time for $30 on golf now. Course was wide open and in great shape despite a ton of rain this week. Will be back again.

Image you are playing on a picture perfect day, no clouds, high 70's. You go to the course and first off, have to park on the road. You go check in, you are told that the course is 30 minutes behind. Heck no problem, go to the range get loose and then play. Well, I go back to the first tee 5 minutes after your time, and they are rushing you off. What about the 30 minute delay? Why didn't someone come to the range and get me? Bad start ad it did not get better. One of my playing partners left after 5 holes. I joined up with a twosome in front of us at the 7th tee. Finally done with the front nine, 3:11 hours. Outrages!!! Only good about the day was the young lady in the club house who gave me a rain check for nine holes without any hassle. Really like the course, but they need to work on the pace of play.

Probably March was not the best time to play this course, but the course condition was pretty bad. Bare tee boxes, hitting off dirt in many places in the fairway, very wet around the greens with little grass in the approaches. The greens were "lumpy" so no true rolls on the balls. May try again later in the year when the grass wakes up...we'll see.

I played on a very windy day (20+mph). the course was in good shape, especially the greens for early March. The layout is good with the exception that there is very little level fairway. And be careful if you hit long, you can drive through several fairways with 250 yards turning a great drive into a water logged ball. But a very good and somewhat challenging course. The greens are quite undulated making them challenging but that is the way I like it. I want to play the slope rather than having to hit through it. I will definitely go back.

This was the first time I played the course in several years, and it remains the fun and varied layout that made it one of my favorites back when. It is in okay shape for March. The greens were in good shape but the fairways and tee boxes were not quite as good as some of the other local public courses I've recently played. However, I'm sure I'll be back again when the real spring arrives.
