Pace of play was awful

Took us 3 hours to play the front nine and 2 hours and 30 minutes to play the back nine. The couple we were with had to leave early in order to make it to a dinner reservation. I think the 8 minute tee times a long with what I think was an oversold tee sheet caused the problem. Rangers were present but weren't able to or didn't do much about the overall pace of play.

Good layout and fast greens

It was a five hour round because of one slow group. No ranger on the course. They didn’t have enough carts so we had to wait for a cart until after our tee time. The course was in good conditions and the greens were very nice. Would play again but they need more staffing and carts. Good value though.

Course was in good condition and the greens were great. Pace of play was good except for Thursday 4-10. The front nine took a long time to finish. The overall experience was very good. I’d definitely come back to play again.

A Very Good Layout

I played on a perfect weather day, which didn’t impact my review. The layout is very good and challenging from the back two tees. The course was in very good shape and the greens were equally as good. I’ll make this a staple anytime on Hilton Head.

Great course

Course was in great shape early spring. Greens and fairways were in great condition. Not much of a restaurant just some finger sandwiches and hot dogs and beverage carts on the course. Will definitely be back

Watch out for the overhanging trees

Course was in good condition and some excellent holes. I was caught out by the trees overhanging the fairways and these are penalising
