Carolina Lakes Golf Club

Have played Carolina Lakes many times. Layout is straightforward. Tee boxes, fairways and traps in great condition - but the greens... unfortunately mediocre at best. Not smooth at all. Routine to see putts wobble sideways and/or hop while rolling towards the cup. Not from standard ball marks or shoe spike marks, but from the overall rough surface. Need to topdress and roll the greens ASAP - perhaps the heat this summer has prevented it.

This course was very well maintained. Greens were pristine and rolled true. Challenging yet enjoyable course!

Course is well taken care of. Tee boxes easily the best I've played. Nothing brown.

Great fun and value!

A challenging layout, interesting and varied golf holes with steep elevation changes, dog legs and lots of water holes. Greens were very good, the ball ran true, but not always easy to read. Fairways were in good condition and bunkers consistent.

Half way grill and bar was welcome.

Love the course lay out and fun of this track, but ran into an unfortunate issue when I brought my spouse to ride along with me...I have always just paid the additional rider charge for her, she love to be out on course with me. Not this time they stated they were short on carts and although they were frustrated and stated I should have rotated that on the website which I did not notice there was a spot for that. So had to send my wife back home....I've never actually experienced that before and the kicker was walking to the starter they sent of a three some in front of me with one cart having a single rider. Still love the course and everyone you end up playing with are awesome people.

Overall conditions were average, tee boxes and fairways were great, but not one sand trap was raked, greens would have been nice, but it appears only about 10% of golfers out there fix their ball marks. My guess is most golfers out there cannot bend over safely to repair them. Pace of play was good on the front (1:45) and then came to a snail's pace on the back 9. Overall time of 4:35 on a Wednesday is never a good time. No ranger in site that day. Nice layout of a course. I may come back in the winter when its less crowded.

Fairways are thin, almost no grass. Greens are in good shape.

Lots of sand traps! Very fun and unkept course! Will be back !

Have lived in Lancaster County SC for close to a year now, and just got to Carolina Lakes for the first time. I was very pleased with the course conditions in April, and I loved the design. Wide open fairways but with huge fairway bunkers on nearly every hole. Huge greens in good condition. Much more undulation than Lancaster Golf Club and Edgewater. I would personally rank them Carolina Lakes, Lancaster, and then Edgewater in terms of my personal preferences, but it is very close. Lancaster County is very lucky to have three very distinct, quality public courses. Not to mention a great budget option in Kershaw.

Great course, beautiful layout, and top-knotch golf carts. The staff was nice. They have a bar and kitchen. The food was pretty food. I would definitely play here again.

Been better if clubhouse stayed open till twilight hours or at least a cart person or water available on the course more then a couple places, but overall beautiful venue!

I really like this course. It has a lot of fairway and greenside bunkers, which I like. Also, some water hazards, which I like. And lots of hills. It is beautiful!! My only complaint is that I believe the greens had just been aerated and so it was very slow and very bumpy, but that is temporary.
