Nice course
Nice course in good shape.Greens are in good condition after aeration a few weeks ago and fairways and tee boxes are in good shape.No need for driver on all the par fours and good variation of distance on the par 3’s
played Tuesday afternoon and Pace of play was good as I finished in under 3 hours.Main grip would be that there are very few markers on the fairways which makes it hard to determine yardage to the greens.
Other than that this place is well worth your time to play and I would recommend it for anyone in the area
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Hill16. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Dogwood Trace Golf Course thanks you!
Not too Shabby
We chose this course as a day trip to play a good course at a reasonably price that was out of our immediate area.
Staff greeted us with smiles and a general idea of where to go since it's not easily done the 1st time.
Cart to the range. When we were there the range was a small strip of land with barely any grass. The entire course seemed like every inch of land was accounted for and the holes were very strategically designed to fit in a tighter spot. Lots of boundary holes. Conditions were very dry due to lack of watering outside of rain. Shots that might end up next to your landing areas instead shoot off out of bounds or 20 yards somewhere else. In order to stop a ball it needs to be perfectly struck and have a steep angle of descent. Length is not an advantage. Greens pretty good. Ground was hardpan. No yardage markers at all. If you don't have a yardage book or device it's a hard guess.
With that said it's only 33 bucks.
I'd maybe play it again but kind of doubt it.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, shamedog99. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Dogwood Trace Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Where are the fairways?
The grass in the fairways is bad. Clumps everywhere, bare spots, terrible cut lines. I couldn’t tell where the fairway ended and the rough began. The greens are recovering nicely from their punch but they might be over watering just a bit because they are very soft and very slow. But the rest of the course is pretty dry and the ground is hard. The tee boxes weren’t much better than the fairways. I usually play at Birkdale but I thought I’d try out Dogwood and see how it is this season. I’ll stick to Birkdale from now on. The staff was very nice as always. But the course is not in great shape.

Can't go wrong for the money
One of the best public courses available. Pace of play was a little slow today and the fairways could use some attention but always fun to play there.

Not sure why, but the course was not crowded at all. 18 holes in 3.5 hours and only had to wait on a few shots. Course was soggy but played well

Evaluation of course & play.
The layout of the course was good & we enjoyed playing it. The greens were a little fast & The cost was a bit more than what we are accustomed to paying in SC. However, at our age we can’t expect a lot more & we would go back & play it again when we are in the area.

Overall the course was in really good condition for it being the middle of February. Despite it being extremely wet when I played it was still a good overall experience. The course plays short overall.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Dogwood Trace Golf Course.
First time
I appreciate the course staff and some of the layout. But we had a 56 yard par 3. Ridiculous then followed by a 250 yard par 4.

Unpleasant Surprise
I made a reservation online. I wanted to use the VSGA VIP card for the round, but found out that the card rate is honored only if you call or visit the club to make your reservation. The course was backed up so it took over four and a half hours to finish eighteen holes, which is not the club's fault but still made for a less than pleasurable experience.
