First Time Playing

Nice playable course but the guy in the front office discourages you from playing.

The course was great. The play isn't bad. The carts are great even the screens in the cart work great. The starter was very friendly and explained everything ,since this was our first time.

The only bad part of our time there was the person in the front office. He discouraged me from playing 18 because he said we wouldn't have the cart back before 7:15pm. The tee time was 3:10. We elected to just play 9. We finished at 5:00. We went in to pay and play the other 9 and he told us we could play but we would have to walk the course. We both have bad backs and we cannot carry our bags.

We would have easily finished the back 9 and had the cart back before 7:15.

I don't know why he said but he was very unhelpful.

Potential

The course is in a great location and could be very nice. However, the course’s upkeep is definitely lacking. Greens were very bumpy and chunked up. Tee boxes were chunked up and weirdly soft so tee would fall into the ground. The fairway had the same issues.

Gem in Columbia

I just recently found this gem. For a good price, this course has some challenging holes. I will definitely play this one again.

Great course as always.

The greens were a little slow and varied by hole.

Shorter, tougher off the teebox type course

Not sure about some of the previous bad reviews I've seen but I thought this course was decent. It's a shorter course only as its only 6100 yards from the blues but they make it difficult with alot of out of bounds, thicker rough, and difficulty of the green locations. My only complaint would of been the pace of play was slow and there were a lot of unfixed divots on the green. Overall, I would say it's worth the $60 and is a fun course if you like the challenege of shot placement on a tighter course.

One of my least favorites

No senior rates. No marshalls - slow play. No holes with any character. Bermuda grass = tough to find balls just off the fairway and dormant in the cold weather. Many better courses for less $$. Too much fescue equals too easy to lose balls. No clubhouse bar or restaurant (just a snack shop). No pro shop; check in a snack shop so must wait behind food and drink orders.
