Course Highlights
The course layout impresses with doglegs, elevation changes, and a satisfying mix of challenge and forgiveness on nearly every hole. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong value for money make this a rewarding round worth returning to.

Good value and future potential

This is the third time playing this course, and they are under new management for the last year, and they are doing much needed repairs to return the course to it newer days of years gone by. I like the layout, and it is worth giving a chance to enjoy.

Winter golf

The new management is trying hard to renew life to this golf course. It is nice to see that the new management cares and are motivated to make this golf course a better place to golf.

The course conditions weren’t too bad for a round of winter golf.

I will come back and play I. Late spring early summer to see if there is a difference, but I am sure there will be quite a difference.

Good value for the amount spent.

Great course

Still my favorite course in the upstate. Work is being done to make it a better play. Only gripe is I wish it would keep the name Heddles Hideaway.

Worst Golf Course in Spartanburg County by far

I learned how to play golf on this course about a year ago, at first in the winter time the course seemed fine and was cheap. However it continues to get worse. The management is apathetic to your experience, and the course is in a comically bad state. Greens are full of weeds, fairways are littered with crab grass and dead spots. Tee boxes are in absurdly bad shape, and even the carts are in terrible shape. They also allow huge groups of 5 or more that absolutely kill pace of play. There are more shirtless alcoholics out there than people in golf attire. I come back every few months just to remind myself why I stopped coming here and I always regret it. Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

Disappointed But Hopeful

Played this corse for years and is now under new Management. Hopefully they will get it back to the condition it use to be in. Nice layout but very slow and bumpy greens. Overall has a lot of potential.
