Terrific Starter
The Starter helped us tremendously. One of our foursome got stuck in a traffic delay and was half an hour late. The Starter handled this professionally and pleasantly, and our round was saved. (I don’t know the Starter’s name. He wore a University of South Carolina logo on his shirt, since his son went to school there.)
This gentleman is a Pro!

GREAT value for a very nice course
Staff was very friendly, course in excellent condition. Only drawback is a lot of the bunkers were filled with rock and the cart paths need to be paved/leveled
