Reviews
Great course
We played twice this course
Challenging and great
Pace of play was very slow on the Sunday but this is normal as family day
We will return any time
Wet course
Cart path only and greens are slow. Probably why only a few of us on the course.
Lost balls
Great weather! Course was in decent shape... too many leaves on the 2nd cut, caused balls to be lost multiple times.
Good but could be better
The staff was great. The pro shop pricing was great. The course layout was great even though some of the fairways can be a little narrow. My biggest issue was it had entirely to much debris on the greens. We had to clean almost every one to be able to putt. The grounds keepers should blow them off more often.
5 hours
Pace of play on a Friday was horrendous. 5 hour round. Other than that it's a nice course with a good staff and all the amenities.
Gorgeous Course!
A solid 9/10... couple rough spots, but greens were perfect. Traps not take, but who hits into them anyways. Played from the tips, challenging par 3s, a few long par 4s and a beast of a par 5 in #10. And the views! Wow! Would go back in a heartbeat, can't beat the price. Went off early, played in 3 hours... looks like it gets busy after 11am.
Awesome condition at 100 degrees heat index
This course is a hidden gem , 2 Savannah Lakes courses nearby are not in near the condition, the new golf course superintendent definitely has made a difference!! Pro shop personal so polite friendly and helpful!!!!! Can’t wait to play again soon .. nice to see drinking water on the course , some new concrete golf cart paths !!!! Thanks for providing a nice outing
From central Fl.
A friend recommended the course to us and we came here to try it it. Camped at Hawe Creek and played here for the first time. The staff was outstanding, since the back was being worked on she suggested we play the front, go to lunch and play the back. It worked out great. Course typical SC., dog legs, up and downs and great fairways. The greens were a little stressed and holes a bit rough on the edges but I would come back in a heart beat. Also great water crossings.
Great value
Course is in very good shape. Greens rolled true and were not too slow. Fairways were in nice shape. Tee boxes were ok. A few were patchy. Traps were raked and had sand, but the sand was thin. Played in 3 hours. Well worth the drive!
Delay
Was unable to play due to rain . Staff was nice
Did say we could try to play the next day but today to far to drive . Maybe next time . 6.00 buck lost to the course.
