Great place to play

The day was cool and windy (January 1st) so tough conditions. The course was pretty empty with no one waiting to play. We arrived early and were told we couldn't tee off until our tee time--no problem, that's what they are for, keeping schedule. However, the clubhouse attendant was a little rude about it. He made up for it later by letting us head out 15 minutes early. After thinking about it, he probably drew the short straw having to work Jan 1st, so everyone has a rough day/moment. Anyhow, great practice area. Putting, chipping, sand and long range are all available to warm up at or practice. The course is challenging but forgiving. Lots of beautiful scenery with the lake on the last few holes. It's about a 90 minute drive so not some place I play often, but if I were closer, it'd be in my regular rotation of courses to play.

College Football

This is the kind of golf course I could play ever single day and never be bored. I was passing through SC last fall and decided to buy a ticket to Clemson football, quick research I discovered their course, I parked at the golf course, walked to the stadium which is on campus, went to the first half and came back to play 18. I had much of the course to myself. Staff was excellent and accommodating. Played the front 9 listening to the rest of the football game, back9 has a lot of water and plays mostly of the lake on campus. An absolute gem and worth the 3 hours I went out of my way while being in the Charleston area. Counting down days until I can play here again. I wish they sold pin flags but they do not.

The course was in good condition minus leaves and debris being on a lot of greens. Also, was a little annoyed in the club house as we were waiting in line to check in and someone came in and jumped in front of us and the guy at the register didn't seem to care. Overall the course is beautiful.

Disappointed Again

Had played the course earlier this year and hoped it would be in better condition. It is a beautiful layout but playing condition aren't for golfers. Rough was extremely punishing. Bermuda was deep and we lost 2 balls on rough just off fairways. Sand traps were in terrible condition. Looked like they hadn't had any maintenance in weeks. They were also very inconsistent. Some had little sand and others had way too much fluffy sand. Ah, then there were the greens. Had hoped for better. There were very slow. Hard to read. Two putts on same line broke in different directions. No ball roll out - acted like ball had brakes.
