Terrible, disgusted, worst golf experience

If I could rate it zero starts, I absolutely would. I’ve been to many golf courses and this has been by far the worst. They started each group at hole one, causing a line of 6 people just to start off. The play was slow, took over 2 hours to play 9 holes (with only one person playing), and everyone around was complaining about the slow play. The course conditions were dry, with broken concrete all over, and massive holes on the sides of the green. The golf cart breaks we’re not working and the leather on the seat was completely ripped on the driver side. I’ve never been this disappointed with an experience anywhere. I was looking forward to this all day, and it was nothing but disappointments.

Good day of golf

Good day of golf for late July. The tees and greens were in good shape and the pace was very good. We had to wait a bit for the group ahead of us, but our threesome got through all 18 with a short break at the turn in under 4 hours. Looking forward to my next round!

Cut the rough down

The course isn’t bad and the greens were in great shape, but the rough was ridiculously long. If you don’t hit a fairway/green, you probably just lost a ball. The rough was so frustrating and costly.

Good staff, nice course & layout, bad rentals

I know this review is not for everyone, but I will start off with the rental clubs. I flew in from Vegas (where I live) and obviously couldn’t bring my clubs with me. I was thinking, okay great ratings overall I’m sure they are stocked with some pretty decent rental clubs. Not the case, terrible rentals. However, if I had my clubs it would’ve been a lot more enjoyable because the staff was great, the course layout was awesome, the approaches were challenging, and the course conditions were good. It just rained the day before so the course conditions would’ve been amazing if it didn’t. Fast greens.

Good value

A bit simple and the sand traps could use some work. Good experience for the money.

Some room for improvement

The course has improved over the last year or so!

the grass in the rough could be a bit better. It can tend to be very patchy in a lot of areas.

Buckers don’t seem to get raked that often, the sand seems to be very hard 90% of the time. Overall a fun course, and good driving range.

Quick 9, lasting impression

I had the opportunity to play Ed Oliver golf course while passing through on a move to Charleston South Carolina. It was a late day round where I only played nine holes and risked possible rain, but don’t regret it at all. The pro shop was extremely friendly, and made my experience a good one right from the get-go. I played the two gentlemen, who were great representatives of the course, and really enjoyed my time with them. The course was in pretty good condition aside from the fairways, being firm, and some of the bunkers having standing water. The greens rolled phenomenally and true. An interesting quirk was the abundance of practically Domesticated foxes throughout the course

Great course. Greater value.

If you are looking for a solid course, that provides some difficulty and is a lot of fun, Ed Oliver is a perfect choice. I keep going back to this course because you can’t beat it for the price.
