Great course without a lot of trouble

Course was in good shape, greens were very good. Course layout was great in my opinion because not a whole lot of trouble. There is water on course, bunkers and high rough in places but water didn’t come in to play a lot and I loved the layout.

Challenging, will give a good test for the average golfer

Conditions of greens and fairways excellent. Course plays tough (particularly, the back nine) and will offer challenges throughout. Highly recommend!

Big Cat Review

Overall course ok, you can get penaltized on a couple of holes with good drives, expect to be in the fairway only to end up in water you can’t see from the tee.

Mr. Kenney, thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. We truly appreciate your patronage and your feedback. I understand you chose not to play your round due to the amount of play we had on the course that day. This is our busiest time of the year and there can be a large number of players on the course, particularly on a Friday or Saturday and for that, we apologize. I would greatly appreciate it if you would contact me directly at blong@oceanridge.com, as I would like to work with you to help make amends for your unsatisfactory experience. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon. Bill Long-Ocean Ridge Golf

Good day

Nice course overall, tee to green in really good condition for as dry its been and friendly staff, which we talked with frequently during the round. Would absolutely play again.

Not a big deal, but would have been a nice gesture to include range balls, small bag of about 20 was $5.

We were set to play as a foursome with two others, but they were the last two from a larger outing so we ended up as a twosome between a logjam of foursomes. So that unfortunately made for a 5.5 hour round. But we didn't have anywhere to be and plenty of beer so we had a good time. I fixed about a 100 pitch marks and sanded many untended divots, you can thank me by doing the same. Have fun you're not good enough to be mad about how you played,

Very pleasantly surprised

I've played 2 of the other 'Big Cat" courses. They were both dismal conditions years ago. So I was hesitant to try Leopards Chase. I am so glad I went. From the moment the starters greeted me to the putting the cart back and the guy apologizing for the just over 5 hour round the staff couldn't be better. I forgot my driver and 3 wood at home so I moved up a box and hit irons all day.

The layout is wonderful. 4 holes that were very bland but for the most part the scenery and strategy are good. Loved hole 11, crossing two creeks on a part 5. Hole 14 with a smaller target area at the green. A couple holes where you drive in the sand. Very "myrtle beach-isc" including an alligator siting.

Fairways are little dry but the greens were impecable.

Nice Track, too Busy

Either they start too many golfers or they’re all deathly slow. Almost 3 hours for 9 holes afternoon round.

Layout is great and greens were excellent but by the time we got to them we lost interest in putting

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. We apologize for the slower than normal play for the 9 holes you played. This is the absolute heart of our busiest golf season and play can be slower than normal on certain days, depending on many factors. I will pass your feedback along to our golf staff and we will take whatever steps we can to try to improve this aspect of our operation. We hope you will visit us again soon and see our continued progress. Thanks again.

Had a great day

We drove in from Cleveland, Ohio and were looking to play 9 holes. The course was perfect for the price we paid.

Never disappointed.....

This is the third time I've had the pleasure of playing Leopards Chase in the last 3 months, and this course never disappoints!! The layout is challenging, but fair, and the greens are in great shape!! Of all the big cat courses, this is the best by far!!! Thank you Golfnow for making the fees so affordable and mad props to the course superintendent and his/ her crew for their MUCH appreciated efforts!

In summary, if you can snag a tee time here, don't hesitate!!

Nice course

This was our first time playing this course. I think if you played it a couple of times you would know the aiming points and distance to hazards, some are blind until you get there, there are also lots of of hazards you can see. The greens were excellent, we played on a Monday afternoon and not many people out so the pace of play was good.
