Edgewater Golf Club

About
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.

Hole 1 Photo submitted by robbiecaud on 06/29/2013
Last minute played fast
Layout great , first out, played under 3 hours, greens beat up , fairways ok, 79.00 it’s a push
Greens bad
Played last few years and issues with the greens this year.
Great course
Course was great except the greens are not in good condition. Some greens are hardly playable, but the fairways and tee boxes were in great shape.
Great Course and great staff!
We were looking for a course in between Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC to meet family to play a round. This course is almost exactly between these two cities and we found a hidden gem. The course is really nice. Many of the reviews are calling out the shape of the greens but the course has acknowledged they are not in the shape they’d like, but they did not hinder our play. They have some rough spots but generally they are in nice shape and roll true. The course layout is challenging but good for all levels of play. It’s a fairly tight course with most of the fairways being tree lined but the course itself is very playable. The staff is amazing. Very friendly and helpful. It’s obvious that they are investing in this course with a beautiful new clubhouse being built and a lot of improvements apparent with fresh sod and new tee boxes on the practice area. We will make this a regular stop when meeting our family to play golf!!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience at Edgewater Golf Club and appreciate your understanding of our greens. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for more rounds in the future!
Bump the price down
Greens have definitely seen better days. A lot of divots and roots. Course layout was great and I’m sure the course is worth 77$ most of the time but with everything on the greens, they should absolutely hike the price down.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u314164310065. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Edgewater Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Disappointed
Came to this course 4 months ago and it was one of the best in the greater Charlotte area, with so much promise with all the new construction.
The staff is wonderful, layout is great cause of the challenge it gives you. Just hard to really be excited about a good shot when the greens and tee boxes are in the shape they’re in. Seems like they’ve done nothing to stop any weed growth, and every single green has at least one dead spot, or half the entire thing.
If you’re further than a 35 minute drive I would not recommend it until they give some sort of sign of care towards the greens

Excellent course
Jon7697153 (previous review) is dead wrong. I was never promised a free round. I’m pretty sure “jon” is affiliated with Old Sycamore and just wants to see edgewater go out of business. Don’t listen to him or her.

Thank you for your 5-star rating, jnaberne. We appreciate your support and are glad you enjoyed your experience at Edgewater Golf Club. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Previous Review
“jnaberne” was promised a free round to leave the review below this one.

Thank you for your feedback, Jon7697153. We take all reviews seriously and assure you that we strive for transparency and integrity in our customer interactions.
Great Course
The poor reviews of their green conditions are waayy over exaggerated. The course is still in great shape and definitely playable. The small weeds that are present on a few of the greens don’t affect the roll. Still a great course, especially for the price. Don’t listen to the negative reviews. The blemishes on a few of the greens won’t affect your game.

Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Edgewater Golf Club!
Greens are TRASH!
It pains me to write this because I’ve played here a dozen times and loved it….until now. The greens have been taken over by crab grass and are HORRIBLE! There were 4 groups in front of us on a Wednesday at 11:00 and we were 4 deep on half the front 9. Ranger did nothing to help. We finally just went around them at 8 and the back 9 was wide open. Fairways were scorched and the t boxes were in pretty bad shape. Better get this sorted before the new club house opens next summer. It was so bad I won’t go back until next fall. Sorry.

We apologize for your disappointing experience and appreciate your loyalty to our course. We are actively working on improving the greens and course conditions, and we hope you'll give us another chance next fall.
Greens are in tragic shape
I have played the course many times. Love the layout. Very nice staff. My foursome teed off at 7:20 to try to get my round in early on a Sunday. Group in front of us may have never played before? Waited every tee shot and every second shot to the green. No Marshall on the course but we asked a marshall to help us play through at the ninth hole. Marshall said he would take care of it and ask the group to skip a hole. They didn’t. We asked a Marshall again on eleven and he said he took care of it. We saw the Marshall again at fourteen and asked for help. Never got to play through and the group never sped up or skipped a hole. 5:20 minute round of golf. The greens are gone? I don’t know what happened to them . They used to be so nice. The greens keeper should be let go. The have reduced the size of the greens and they ha e weeds and bare spots. I mean a real tragedy. This was a really nice course. I would calm and ask the condition of the course before playing it. I played with family and was pretty embarrassed. No Marshall on the course. No cart girl on the course. Used to be really nice. Maybe next year. But it’s only going to get worse this year.

We apologize for your disappointing experience and the issues with pace of play and course conditions. We are taking steps to address these concerns and hope to improve your experience in the future.

It is a real shame and wish the management would comment on what they are doing about the greens. You really can't plan to putt most of the time and it costs a lot less to just go the driving range which is all your doing. This course went from the best in the region to barely passable in a short time. What happened? Staff changes?
