It was okay.

I've played this a couple times now and each time I leave with the same feeling. "Eh". It's okay.... not fantastic but not a disappointment. A few holes with views of Lake Murray. Cart girl came around a few times which was nice.

Great local place priced right

Better than I remember!

I played Mission Trails possibly 7 or 8 years ago and it was cart path only in many sections and VERY slow.

Played on 7/14/2013 on a nicely maintained, pretty course with a normal pace of play. The course is hilly with some trees with a few challenging holes. It was a great value for the price and we will go back again - sooner!!

Nice place to play...

... If you are looking for great value-for-money, this is the course to go for.
Don't expect the best of the best, but its a well maintained course, quiet as no noisy road nearby, friendly staff, and as far as I can say based on 10+ games there, never too crowded.
Can only recommend, although I shouldn't say that because it may get crowded then....

A fun and fair course!

First time on this fun course. The personnel in the club house and lunch wagon were welcoming and friendly. The course is in good condition, creatively laid out and challenging but fair greens to putt. We will definitely return often.

Short course but quite challenging

Nice course, definitely value for money. Relatively short, but quite challenging with many dog legs and changing elevation. Green is very good, slippery and very tricky. Fairway is moderate to good, with thick rough which can penalized your errant shots. A bit difficult to gauge the distance with limited markers and changing elevation. Overall, I enjoyed the experience.

JUNE 20TH

I TOOK MY SON TO PLAY THERE THURSDAY, I HAVENT PLAYED MISSION TRAILS IN 15 YEARS. PRO SHOP STAFF WAS PRETTY DECENT. THE BAR TENDER GAVE SERVICE WITH A FROWN. I STILL GAVE A TIP FOR HER TROUBLE, SHE NEVER SAID THANKYOU AND THAT WAS TWICE I ORDERED FROM HER. WAS PAIRED UP WITH TO LAIDIES AND THE ROUND STARTED OUT FAIRLY PLEASANT TILL A PERSON BEHIND US STARTED HITTING INTO US. AT FIRST I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT, TELL ABOUT THE FORTH TIME. NEVER YELLED FOR NEVER CAME UP TO SAY SORRY. JUST EXPECTED US TO MOVE FASTER BUT THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GO. THE OVER ALL COURSE IS NOT BAD THE SERVICE COULD HAVE BEEN A HOLE LOT NICER.

Excellant course for a beginner

First time I have scored less than 100. As someone who has golfed for over 25 years but only once or twice a year until this year, I found this course to allowed you to practice different shot types and clubs. The person I golfed with is an intermediate golfer and was trying clubs he would not normlly use but was able to because the length or the difficulty allowed him to.

This course is fun/interesting.

I have played this course on several occasions in the past 3 years and have noticed improvements in the conditions. The pace of play is still a problem when stuck behind inconsiderate golfers. Marshalls should get more involved if there are obvious inexperienced actions taking place to slow down play....like players continually hitting out of bounds and chasing their ball all over the place, and players 'socializing' over their putts.

good public course for the money

Layout is OK. Greens are normally good. Elevation changes. Some of the 4's are kinda short.

Back nine nicer then the front. 4 and 5 on the front are kinda funky.

Usually a good value.

Great Value for the money

This course has a lot of altitude changes, especially on the front 9.
There are parts of this course that need attention, especially just off the fairway, some of the fairways need a little water, but overall the course is a good play. The greens were looking really nice! Def a good value for the money.

Great course conditions

Mission Trails golf course is in the best shape I have ever seen it in the 2 years I have been golfing. That's definitely a tribute to the landscapers and workers who maintain it. The greens are perfect, which is not out of the norm, but the fairways as well are in great shape, clean and green. Can't wait to go back out.

Fun course for all skill levels

On the day we went the course was a little backed up so the speed of play was slow, but the course was in good condition and it was a fun round. Only complaint was the lack of a cart girl, especially for how busy it was on a weekday.

Nobody is pushing the slow groups.

I love the course and usually get a good discount. Greens have improved and a good middle of the road golf course.
