Slow play!

On the day we played the cart rule was( cart path only). I don't have a problem with this rule, but my problem is with cart path only rule the tee times should be spaced further apart than the usual 12 min. There was a back of 3 tee times on the first tee box. So anyone who has played the game knows this made for a very long day.

Good course in state park

Course has had rain and unseasonal cold temps. The greens were a bit slow and fairways had many wet areas. That being said, we found it an enjoyable course to play for the price and time of year. The pro shop staff was not the friendliest. Would play this course again.

Great vistas; challenging holes

I always enjoy playing this SC Park course along the banks of Lake Thurman. The views from just about anywhere on the course are great and can distract you from the golf at hand, but I say take it all in and enjoy the round. The terrain and elevation changes provide a great variety in 18 holes and require thoughtful club selection and good shot-making. Good time.

Great Hidden Gem

This is a very tough course. lots of very tight fairways and a lot of water. pick up a free guide to each hole before you play it for the first time, there are a lot of hidden obstacles that will reach out and get you.
