About

Carolina Lakes is the golf course at Shaw Air Force Base near Sumter. It is a military course that is not open to the public. In terms of military courses, this layout stands out for not being a typical pitch-and-putt. The golf course is just under 6,500 yards from the back tees, offering a good mix of length with some shorter holes. With water hazards coming into play on several holes as well as a good number of strategically placed bunkers, it is a course that will make you think. There are also a variety of elevation changes that are seemingly subtle but can cause more problems than you think. One particularly memorable hole is the first par 3 you reach on the front nine, which requires a forced carry over a pond.
