Not worth the money

The staff were friendly, however the course is not on par with other courses nearby for the money. The greens need attention and the roughs and fairways need to be mowed. The cart paths were confusing, it is unusual to have sand as a cart path. We were not able to distinguish between the sand traps and cart path.

Thank you for the nice four star review of Leopard's Chase. You actually played during the beginning phase of transitioning to new TifEagle greens. The putting surfaces are certainly not their very best right now but will be in excellent condition again when the transition is complete. We hope you will visit us again and see our progress.

SLOW Greens

The staff was very friendly, the check-in process was easy, and the starters were great. The course is fine, but the greens are so slow! I know this course gets a lot of play, but they really should cut the greens especially on a weekend.

Thank you for the nice Four Star review of Leopard's Chase. As the weather warms up, they have to be very careful with the heat sensitive bentgrass greens at Leopard's, but I will pass your feedback along to our greens superintendent for consideration. We hope you will visit us again soon!

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. We appreciate the great Five Star review! As the weather warms up, they have to be more careful with the heat sensitive bentgrass greens, but they typically still are fairly quick in the warm season as well. Thanks again and we hope you will visit us again soon.

Great round at Leopards Chase

Leopards Chase is a fantastic golf course. The course is challenging but fair. The layout is great with a diversity of holes you won’t find at other courses. Course conditions are impeccable. The Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have played this course many times over the years and it never disappoints.

Great layout

Great design and layout. Tough course but fun to play. Conditions have improved since playing there last year. Pace of play on the back was frustrating.

Far exceeded expectations - a gem to play

Played 4/26 and would highly recommend given the nice greens, layout and the GolfNow price. After many middle of the road courses we played in Myrtle, this was a surprising gem, just north of the border. Had seen critical reviews of the Cat courses because of poor green conditions. Leopard's greens having been reseeded were smooth and great to putt, if somewhat slow. Played in 3 1/2 hours and were welcomed by everyone on staff. Course can be tough so we played from the gold to take some of the forced carries out play - a good choice for us seniors shooting 80's and 90's. Will be on our rotation going forward. Good job Leopard crew.
