good and bad

This course has no Tee Box Id display for any hole. the only yardage marker on the fairway was a 150 stake. Course is tight but fair. bring extra balls. greens small but looks like once the aeration grows in should be very nice but slow putting.

Tough design but unfair with no grass on fsirways

Only $30,about $15 too much .very tight and difficult which would be fine but grass on fsirways sparse at best .save the beers and hotdog and invest in one fertilizer and water

course in poor condition.

Although course was wet from earlier rain, fairways lacked any grass so whether wet or dry you had to be precise in making ball contact. Greens were quick but inconsistant. You needed kidney belt to ride cart paths. paid hot deal price which was still too much. Would not recommend this course.

Tired Old Golf

My golfing partner recommended this course as he played it 10 years on one of his golfing trips to Myrtle Beach. Sometimes memories are enhanced after a number of years in-between experiences. All courses I played at this time of year had dormant rough. Diamondback had dormant everything. Tee boxes were not recently cut or maintained and the greens appeared to struggle to be green. Cart pathways need to repaved. Absolutely terrible. Our problem was that we decided too late to book a decent course due to wet weather forecasts that did not materialize. What can you expect for $25 with cart? Not much.

Course members and staff are unhappy people. The course was in poor condition and the pace was very slow.

Lotta Rough

A challenging course which will frustrate some and appease others. Many golfers were seniors which made the day seem longer than most. Hills and valleys will keep you guessing where your ball ends up. It is a delightful course where you will want to bring extra balls.

Generally Disappointed

Staff was extremely pleasant and the food was good. The "golf now" price was a great plus because the current condition of the course did not warrant paying full price. Layout of the course is good and challenging at times. We could not get past the the brown fairways. The course seemed ragged to me, compared to the many other courses we have played during our stay. I doubt that I would return.

Fun layout

Doglegs left, right, tee shots over wetlands, water hazards to the sides and in front of shots. Some holes very short and others were a stretch on the soft course. Everything in the fairway is dormant bermuda, greens were challenging. Good value for the money paid and will come back. Pretty much out of the way for everyone at the beach, but worth the drive to get out in the country and enjoy the day.

Wonderful Layout .... but!

Well laid out course that is a very good challenge with water strategically placed. Greens are good and very firm. Major disappointment is that the fairways are brown from not being over seeded for the winter. This really distracts from the "feel" of the the course. Would only return in late spring or fall.

Should be warned of conditions when booking

In it's prime this course is a great course to play. however with no over seeding on the fairways, the wet conditions and then cart path only (which we HATE) we are relegated to the unfavourable review. There were soooo many jammed into play that the pace was slow and we waited and waited on every hole. Although we paid a very low price we wouldn't have played at all if we had known ahead of time the conditions under which we would be playing. My whole reason for submitting this review is to ask that Golfnow.com give relevant alerts prior to booking tee times under which golfers would be playing.
