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.

Greens Just Punched and Sanded

This is a fault in the GOLFPASS app. It should inform you if the conditions, i.e. just punched and sanded the greens making putting the ball all but useless exist. It does not so we made the drive from Charlotte only to find we were stuck with it. Very disappointing to say the least.

Disappointed

Just played yesterday, only could play back 9 because of air-rated the front. Didn't know that until we arrived. Have played there many times before, the fairways were shabby and the whole course was the worse I have ever seen it. Maybe due to lack of rain.

Great course for the price.

Course conditions are improving daily with warmer weather. Greens are in great condition. Pace of play could improve, marshals/rangers need to push groups to maintain contact with group in front of them.

Fun course in great shape

Second time playing here (first time was last year about the same time of year). The course has not yet fully grown into spring conditions, but it was great for this time of year. Some tee boxes were a bit sandy and there were a few patchy areas in the fairways but nothing that created a problem. Greens were slower than expected, due to dew and longer cut, but rolled well. Bunkers were fantastic. It looked like there were several improvement projects ongoing in many parts of the course. Carts and cart paths were nice, Lots of elevation changes and some long distances between holes, so not a course for walkers. We would enjoy coming back later in the season, because this course will probably be fantastic. Great practice facilities and a new clubhouse top it all.

Always enjoy this course. The conditions were not as good as usual but that will not stop me from coming back. The pro shop staff is very friendly.

Nice course but sub par conditions

Course is nice but conditions are sub par.

Tees are dirt not much grass. Greens are good but all the fringe is aerated with holes really bad.

Also confusing to get to the first tee. No signs from the new club house. Very rude starter, he was rude about how we found our way to the first tee and continued to be rude several times.

Great course, but overpriced

Really enjoyed the course overall. Layout and condition were solid, and I’d still recommend playing it. The fairways could use a little work, but my biggest issue was the price. It’s a great course, just too expensive for what you get.

Good for this Time of Year

Our foursome really enjoys the layout and the course condition for this time of year was good. The greens which are sometimes less than ideal due to unrepaired ball marks were in better shape than our last time playing here. If there is one area that needs attention it would the tee boxes for seniors. Many need some work.

☹️

New clubhouse is beautiful, practice area is beautiful

Course is a disaster, fairways are mostly mud

Very little grass, greens & bunkers were in good shape, maybe when it’s warms up grass will fill in but very disappointing

Sadly, Would Not Recommend

This used to be one of the best courses around, but it just isn't anymore. The greens have multiple areas that are bad and the course, especially the greens, just needs work. It looks like they have diverted all of their attention to the other new areas and are neglecting the course. Not only that, but the pace was also excruciatingly slow with no marshal, no starter and there was no way that a later tee time could allow 18 holes to be played, barely 10 or 11. Why not just charge for 9 when 18 isn't feasible? $70 to play 12 holes, especially on a course in this condition is crazy. And on top of that, when we came off 9 to go to 10, there were suddenly new groups in front of us that were not there before. Who allowed them on and why? It looked like locals just drove on to the course and started playing. This is just sad because again, this used to be one of the better courses in the Charlotte market but until much is done, I recommend finding a better option.

Play it again!

First time ever playing this course. Heavy rain for about an hour before my tee time made for many of the holes to be very soggy impacting a lot of the iron/chip shots. As the day went along, the course dried out and certainly improved the ability to make iron/chip shots. Course was challenging; however, definitely will be back to play it again.

Fine Friday

Nice day. This the second time in two weeks that we played Edgewater and no starter at first tee either time even when I asked inside if a starter will be there. This just causes play to slow down.

Gets better every trip

The facilities continue to improve and have now crossed over the WOW factor. Outstanding site. The course was in great shape l, from tee box to green. The only issue we ran into was the waiting (wish is usually not an issue). We spoke to a ranger and he said that “three holes ahead, the group is a hole and a half behind schedule.” Okay…so were they told to pick up and drive to the next tee box? Doesn’t sound like it. I guess they continued at that pace with consequences. We shouldn’t tee off at 11:45 and up driving home in the dark.
