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.

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.

Challenging and enjoyable.

Well above average for a municipal course. The greens are very nice , true and good pace. Be prepared for a 465 yd par 4 from the championship tees. Our group enjoyed Dogwood Trace. We’ll return!
