Course Highlights
Edgewater's hilly, secluded layout consistently earns top marks for its challenging elevation changes and excellent course conditions. Exceptionally welcoming staff and strong value make this a course worth the drive.

Rating 74.3

Edgewater Golf Club has a peaceful setting tucked away in Lancaster. The course feels completely secluded with a layout that tumbles across rolling hills covered with a blanket of matures trees. The terrain is as scenic as it is challenging, providing the layout with dramatic elevation changes and plenty of water. In addition to the natural hazards, there are numerous strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. An abundance of wildlife also calls the golf course home, so don't be surprised if you see deer or turkeys roaming the course. One of Edgewater Golf Club's most memorable holes is the par-4 seventh. This tricky hole is a downhill dogleg left that forces you to drive right-center of the fairway, followed by a tough approach to a green that sits on the bank above Fishing Lake Creek.

Remains a Favorite... But

While Edgewater remains a real favorite of mine and the guys I play with, the condition of the greens was a bit troubling. Hopefully, now that the facility upgrades appear to be completed, the focus will turn to the course itself. The new humongous practice green is spectacular but in no way reflects the condition of the greens on the ocurse. Green fees seem to be up as well, but at least occasionally it will be worth the drive down from Charlotte.

Great new clubhouse/Greens still awful

The new clubhouse and practice areas are amazing. The greens though are still in bad shape. Overall still a great value for Charlotte area golf.

Greens need love

Love the course layout, and the new clubhouse is VERY nice as is the renovated range and MASSIVE putting green.

I wish the putting green was representative of the course greens though… they were soggy. No 2 greens rolled the same speed. No one was repairing their ball marks, which made the soggy greens even worse. You could hit a 50 yard short approach shot and crater these greens, THATS how soft the were. But they were lumpy, bumpy, and didn’t roll true or at a consistent speed.

Several of the fairways were baked well done too.

Greens are hurting

The greens are in tough shape. The ball bounces when putted. One of the guys I played with had a put turn about 30° just before the cup when it hit a missing patch of grass. I've never seen a ball move that much from the green. We gave him the put.

Mid summer greens

As usual, mid summer is rough on these greens, lots of ballmark damage and bumpiness. Rest of the course in good shape. New clubhouse is impressive (20mil?) and the putting green is massive...how are they going to maintain it? The carts are getting old with balding tires. Rates appear to have been raised, and don't know it will effect the GN rates...TBD.

Error in procedure

The course is in good shape and as usual is a good value. New restaurant is nice with good food. One difference between the new clubhouse and old is that now you can't bring the cart to your car to unload/load your golf gear. This is really annoying especially after a round in the heat. The old way was way better, not a close call. When you do something new, you should always try and make things better or at least not worse than it was. Hopefully they change it back to where you can go to your car to get ready to play or to finish up.

Consistent

Edgewater has always been consistent. In good shape. The greens were a little slow but they were protecting them from the heat. Once the club is up and running might not be on GN much longer

Great design and layout

I really enjoyed playing there for the first time. The holes were individually design that your not having holes side by side or coming into each other. Challenging but fair if you keep between the tree line. Only issue that I had was the bunkers had to much sand in rhe middle of them and no hard base underneath. Very fluffy to try and hit out of them.

Nice course

Nice golf course. New clubhouse with nice amenities. Course is in good condition, great carts and smooth cart paths. Restrooms and water on course plus beverage cart. The Course has stayed the same but a lot has changed around it. Only downside for me is a few too many uphill approach shots to the green.

Midweek Round

The course was in great shape and not crowded at all. We waited on very few shots throughout the day. It is a course where accuracy is more important than distance on many holes.

Almost There!

Tree lined and lots of elevation changes. Nice mix of holes. The greens had more than the share of unrepaired ball marks. Tee boxes were slightly chewed up. It is a very quiet and relaxing out of the way place.

Nice course

Well kept course, but like many other courses, lazy players can't be bothered to fix their ball marks on the greens. Very nice driving range, fantastic putting green. Course layout is challenging but not overwhelming.

Edgewater

Amazing course located just south of Lancaster, South Carolina. Amazing and difficult layout that is both challenging and accessible if playing well. New clubhouse just opened and is amazing as well. Overall, the course is one of the best values within an hour of Charlotte, North Carolina.
