Carolina National Golf Club - Heron Nine

Enjoyed my round although it ended at #12 due to weather!

Course was in great condition. Best on the Grand Strand of the dozen I have played this summer. Incredibly hot that day and no water on course and no cart service. Only minus on a terrific day. Service top notch.

The greens are consistently inconsistent. Seems like they aerate ever other week!

The sand traps have virtually no sand.

Layout is nice and fairways decent.

Staff was super friendly and nice. Didn’t seem super busy and tee times were spaced out nicely. The greens were covered in a top dressing but still seemed to roll ok. Fairways were pretty good - bunkers were all washed out from a previous rain fall. Overall it was worth the money to play. Thanks and I would play it again.

The course was in great shape as always. I have played here the last three years on vacation. I paid for 27 holes with lunch and after 18 I decided I should get back to the house due to slow play. I asked if I could get a refund on the other nine, store credit, etc. A younger kid seemed willing to help and convince the older gentleman the way it could be done properly but the older worker said there was nothing that could be done. Not much customer service from the pro shop. The starter was tremendous as always. The bag men were great as well. I’ll not be back to this course

This course was amazing. We had an amazing time with the folks paired with us. The starter was extremely nice and classy, as were the rest of the staff! Course conditions were amazing, you can tell this is a championship course! And only for 47 dollars as well! We will definitely be back!

Sent us out to play Heron
/Ibis behind some incredibly slow players. We skipped a hole to move ahead and didn't pick up pace until we made the turn into Ibis where we were alone.The fairways are in good shape. The greens were recovering from top dressing and were sandy. The Ibis track was even worse. Fairways are still in good shape but the greens were in poor shape with diseased areas and very recent top dressing. It looked like snow from the tee box. Terrible bunkers, no rakes, no maintenance. No water on the course, no sand provided to fill divots. No cart person with refreshments......used to be a premiere course.....don't know what's happening there.

I really enjoy the layout of all three 9s here. Greens were pretty meh. Maybe a recent plugging but bumpy. Had a sand shot on Egret where the lawnmower kept rolling as we were going to take tee shots. After I hit into the sand with a side wall plug, he laughed at both my and my father in law’s next shots - felt like I was at Bushwood with Bill Murray, which was a new experience.

Nice course. The peace of play was very good. The layout was nice. There were many holes you needed proper placement or you were blocked out. I would play again.

This was my fourth or fifth round there and the course is typically in good shape, but the greens were horrible. Was told they were punched 3-4 weeks ago, so you would expect the greens to be in better shape by now. The cart paths are absolutely horrible, the bunkers are a joke and when the heat index is 97, the course MUST have water in coolers on the course or at least have a snack cart riding around offering beverages and snacks. Hate being so derogatory, but it was EXTREMELY disappointing!! Not worth the money!

The various tee options give a real choice for everyone. Played the blues which were great for us . Course layout presented challenging but fair holes. Quite a bit of distance between holes. The greens were recently “sanded “ which negated some break but the ball rolled true. Another plus to us was the lack of houses setting next to the course. Definitely would play this again.

Always enjoy Carolina National but they really need to get some proper sand in the green side bunkers. Absolutely impossible to make a proper sand shot. I play there once every week or two and was hoping they would fix it before I said anything. Otherwise it is a good course for the $$.
