Golf Club At Wescott Plantation - Oak Forest Course

About
Situated in the heart of Lowcountry, the Golf Club at Wescott Plantation is part of one of the area's oldest plantations. There are 27 holes of golf available at the club, which are divided into three nine-hole courses: Oak Forest, Burn Kill, and Black Robin. Although each golf course has a different character and scenery, they are all dappled with centuries-old live oaks and wetlands. The Oak Forest Course takes its name from the original plantation and has wider fairways than the other two courses. Lush vegetation frames each hole and the classic bunkering embodies the traditional feel of the course. The eighth hole is the signature hole of the entire golf course, distinct for both its scenery and difficulty. Par will be tough on this par 3 with a lake bordering the entire left side.

Under appreciated course in the lowcountry
The best “bang for your buck” courses in Charleston
Clubhouse
A very nice golf course but the clubhouse closes at 3 pm and it needs attention. Why not make it a sports bar with food, drinks and memorabilia???
Wonderful back 9
My group played this nine holes as our back nine. In my opinion, I suppose the superior of the kid with a very engaging, layout and conditions that were equal to if not better than the front nine on the burn kill course. Very engaging and beautiful par threes, and long challenging par fives. Pace of play on this course was significantly better, but there was still some stopping and waiting. Once again, the most important improvement that I would suggest would be drinking water on the course.
Front 9
From the opening, he shot to the ninth green, this golf course did not disappoint. The conditions were top notch, all of the greens rolled very nicely with a good pace, and the fairways were nice and lush. The bunkers were full of nice, white soft Stan, and we’re very playable. There is no drinking water on the course which would be my largest complaint. Normally, this wouldn’t be a concern as they have a cart girl but with there being three separate nine hole courses, we only saw the cart girl once during a round. We did have the unfortunate lack of having a group of beginning golfers in front of us, which slowed us down drastically. Overall, I was very impressed with this course, especially for the GolfNow price I paid.
Very fair
Very fair layout. Fairways in good shape with fair rough. Greens recently aerated, but sanded so put still reasonably smooth. Torrential rain interrupted round but course had great drainage. Clubhouse was nice and had a good selection of food and drinks. Overall, it was a good day…except for the rain. :-)
Great Course for the Money
I played Burn Kill/Black Robin nines and was very happy with the overall course condition. The one drawback was that the greens had been recently punched and putted very slow. I really like the layout of all three nines. For the price, it is a nice course that plays at a reasonable pace. Our group was able to finish 18 holes in 3.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon.
Always a Great Time
Wescott never disappoints and I always make it a point ti play there on my annual trip to Summerville to visit friends. The course is in great shape. Played Burn and Black Robin. Welcoming fairways, strategically placed bunkers and challenging greens. The greens were recently aerated, so putting is tricky for now. Highly recommend the course..
Wescott
Upon arriving ng and confirming check in; the balance quoted was $15-$20 difference than listed on this site. The staff claim there was was an aerification of n going that I was unaware. For the most part the course was in excellent condition. The biggest complaint was this this four some that was 2 groups ahead. They played as if they were going to the PGA tour this week.. and could not play that well. And we had to wait and wait… 5 hours to finish because of this..
Fun, well-maintained course
Wescott is a little different because it’s actually three nine-hole courses and a round of 18 will be a combination of two of the courses. I’ve played all three and each is a little different from the others, but all are good. You won’t necessarily know which ones you’ll be assigned, and as in this last round they changed our back 9 assignment at the turn because the other one was backed up. I’m happy they did because we didn’t have to wait any on the other course. I can see how this might aggravate some people though. Bring your rangefinder or other distance guide for yardages because the carts don’t have the screens with that information like Manu places do now. Overall a great place to play. Highly recommend.
Will play here again
Love this course. Everyone was awesome , friendly. Course in great shape can’t wait to come back and play again. Challenging for sure esp the long par5 on Oak forest. Saw the alligator on the back nine par 3!
Beautiful course
Would have given 5 stars but there was no water to drink on the course and no “cart girl”. It was 95 degrees and we were hoping to refill our water bottles.
Other than that it is a great course!
Would 100% recommend
Great course for the price would 100% recommend. Before I golfed there saw a couple bad reviews and was a little worried about the course but after playing it I will honestly say don’t listen to those reviews those people are probably just perfectionist that only play country clubs! All that said I would definitely return to this course.
Needs tlc
Selling range balls for mats no good. Bunkers hasn’t been raked since the civil war
