Pace of play is God awful i’ll never come back for that reason played 4 holes in a hour 30. Get it together.
Course was over booked waited on a cart to become available for 30 minutes. Had to wait 20 at each at each tee box to tee off, was unable to finish the course.
I loved the course itself, it was in really great condition. My only complaint is that there is little to no signage to direct you towards the first tee box or practice areas. Also I let the staff know it was my first time there and they offered little to no help. Overall great course.
Carter Plantation
Very impressed with the greens...well kept, fast and true but holds shots nicely...fairways were nice, a bit too much hard pan on the edges of the fairway, some on bit overall good shape....course is a bit straight forward, does have a few interesting holes....very friendly staff, nove practice area.....I would definitely recommend
One of the nicest courses around BR if you’re not a CC member. Great fairways and layout. Greens are smooth with moderate pace.
Staff were excellent
Great Course, Friendly People
This was my first time playing Carter Plantation. I was very pleased and thoroughly enjoyed the course. The starting cart place is pretty cool as it is a pull-through cart place to enter the pro shop and snack bar / restaurant. Very nice especially in the 100 degree heat.
The course is well maintained. Kudos to the staff. Greens were very nice with lots of subtle slopes and undulations. The carts are great. The fairways were in very good shape without bare spots, but there were plenty of hills and undulations for challenging ball placements and stances. I highly recommend this off the beaten path very good and fun golf course.
Disappointed
I am from out of town, and was looking for a place to play around with my son. Several people said we should check out Carter plantation, so we gave it a whirl. The staff were friendly, and the cart service during the round came by three different times so, not bad! However, the bunkers were in terrible shape. The grass was completely overgrown over the bunker borders, and in most cases, the bunker itself was hard, packed mud. One time my ball flew into a bunker, and landed in a boot print at least an inch and a half deep, and it was hardened mud baked by the sun. So I just moved my ball out.
I would say the greens were OK., Not great, but OK
I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience, but I probably would not choose to go back on my own.
Great Course
Normally don't play Carter due to high green fees. Course was in great shape and Golf Now made it affordable.
