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.

Have Golf Now build in the senior rate to the booking system
I thoroughly enjoyed playing the course, as did my other group members. I'm very disappointed in Golf Now that there exists a senior rate but it was not offered at the time of booking. I would ask that Golf Now Make the senior rate available in their booking system and have it available offered at the time of booking.
Great golf course/curious web booking policy
Overall - Edgewater is a great golf course and I'd highly recommend the drive to play it. My only criticism would be - if you book your round through their website via Golf Now - it does not offer the available "senior" rate for play. I inquired into the rate when checking in - and the woman (did not note her name) kind of laughed and said "yes we do offer one, and no you don't get it because you booked it through their web site, via Golf Now, ha ha ha...". I didn't find it funny. It is too bad when a vendor offers a price break but won't allow it when requested. The message is book all of your rounds via the telephone and the pro shop.

Thank you for recommending Edgewater Golf Club and for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience with the senior rate booking, and we'll work on improving this aspect of our service.
Great track but golf now prices are weird
Course was awesome and in very good condition. The rough was a little bit thin so if you hit it there you did risk a hard bounce away from the fairway which happened to me a few times. Greens look a little spotty but rolled great. The prices were so confusing to me though. I booked a 3 person tee time for 1:10 through the edgewater website for $143. I had to reschedule it to move it up an hour, had to call golf now to do that. Golf now had a hot deal going on which I thought would make it cheaper. But I was charged $193 for that one. There was a $25 cart fee and a $10 convenience fee but my price still increased by $50, with the hot deal? Maybe I’m missing something. Great track and I’ll play there again but just pay attention to the booking.

Thank you for your review, jakeaaron. We're glad you enjoyed the course and apologize for the confusion with pricing; we'll look into this to ensure a smoother booking experience in the future.
Want to Place the Course Not Buy it!
Have played this course off and on since it opened and it is in the worst shape ever. Greens are terrible. And lots of other challenges too. You can lose a ball on multiple fairways. Not sure what happened but there are far too many courses in this area to spend money there until they can fix their issues.

We apologize for you having a bad playing experience. Our greens or not a the conditions we normally provide but we having taken all possible steps to make recovery. The rest of the course conditions are in great shape and we’re expecting the greens to be caught up with it going into the winter.
Big Putter
A lot of improvement in the works, which means the cost of a round here will go up.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, 800johnh. 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.
Poa Annua Taking Over
This is usually my go to course. I was very disappointed. The greens are pretty swamped with Poa Annua, making smooth putts difficult. I wouldn’t waste my time or money there at the moment. One worker said they were going to aerate in a couple if months (not sure if true). There are many other courses in the area that are better at the moment.

Conditions and pace of play
The greens...awful...squishy soft, full of weeds, and full of huge ball marks. Tee boxes are rock hard and in some cases bare of any grass.
Pace of play was silly slow. The Rangers, while friendly, were not enforcing anything.

Overall great course!
The layout and conditions were great. The greens were rolling good even though there were a bunch of ball marks. Definitely would recommend playing this course.

Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round and found the course conditions to your liking. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Edgewater Golf Club!
What Happened to This Course?
Have played this course quite a few times and it was our favorite in the Charlotte area. Played yesterday and the greens were terrible. These used to be the best greens around. Lots of grass that needs to be cut and it just has fallen a long way from where it was a couple of months ago. Sad.

Moderately disappointed
The course was soggy from all the recent rains. This also meant it had not been mowed in several days. There were places on fairways where the ball was hidden in the grass, you can imagine finding a ball in some of the roughs.
I like the course and will play it again but not until I think course conditions are not more normal. It is not a good value in its current condition.

Ain’t what she used to be.
Fairways and rough are in good shape. The greens are not,
Bent grass mixed with something else, ball marks, and bald spots. Would be a nice round if the greens were fixed.

How far it’s fallen!
The bad: Slow play with rangers who acknowledged the slow play yet did nothing was incredible. We were stacked at every tee box with a 4hr41 minute pace? The two in my group left after 13 holes! The greens need attention but it seems many in the area have had a rough season.
The good: layout, fairways, staff & a promising future. I’ll give em 4 more years & hopefully the facilities will be complete & mature

Changes needed
Great, challenging layout. Would not go back in the middle of August. Course is tightly lined with think pine trees so no air moves at all. Biggest thing they need to do is convert to a Bermuda on their greens. Just no way a course in Lancaster, SC can expect to keep any type of Bent in good condition. The greens were horrendous and it’s not all because ball marks aren’t repaired. The grass doesn’t grow enough for them to heal even after you repair them. Way too hot for Bent

Hello, DHovis5514. Thank you for visiting us at Edgewater Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Good course for the price.
Had a good experience here, enjoyed the layout liked the front 9 a lot. Got caught behind some slow people on the back so probably why didn’t like it as much. No driving range right now but looks like they are building a new clubhouse and driving range across the road, the place will be state of the art in 3 years. Fun course though really enjoyed it. Will be back!

Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed the layout and appreciate your patience with the pace of play. We look forward to welcoming you back to experience our new facilities in the future!
Overpriced
The greens are in the worst shape for what they charge it’s very overpriced. Maybe after they fix the driving range, and finish building a new clubhouse they’ll get to work on the greens. Also they need a new fleet of golf carts too, and after they do all those upgrades they’d want $75 a round.

We're sorry to hear that the greens and pricing did not meet your expectations; we are working on improvements and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
