First Impression

I liked the course as a whole. The greens had just been sanded so putting was not very good. If I was not playing best ball, I don’t know if f I would have scored well. Not a course for a beginner. But the layout is challenging. They did not have a refreshment cart running, and it was 90+degrees. Could not use my own cooler. So had to wait til turn for hydration. I would like to play it again, but in a different season and not after major maintenance..

Over priced Nicklaus design

The course is fair condition; there were spots under repair: cart attendant somewhat personable. Pro shop staff not very personable. For the price, perhaps they could have comped a bag of range balls instead of charging $8. The greens were in nice condition

Good course, but damaged greens. Expensive for the conditions

Nice course and layout. Not well maintained and greens in regular conditions. In several greens there were too many pins placed close to the actual pin, so very irregular surface.

Expensive for the overall quality

Excellent condition and playability for this summer.

Very enjoyable round of golf. Conditions were exceptional for the time of year, especially given the heat wave currently being experienced. Very courteous and attentive staff. Overall pace of play and tee time spacing were ideal.

Great, Less Populated Course on Hilton Head

After playing Harbour Town the day before, I was looking for a more reasonably priced option before heading back home. This course was a perfect choice, especially with the Golfpass Hot Deal! I enjoyed the course and because Harbour Town's greens were recently aerated, I found these greens to be in better condition!

Nice layout.

My brother and I play in Hilton Head every year. In the past, this course has been in somewhat better condition.

Currently, I would say the conditions on the course are average.
