About Table Rock Resort

The Table Rock Resort is different from most of South Carolina's golf resorts in that it resides in a mountainous setting, not a marshy or oceanfront landscape. It sits in a northwest corner of the state at the base of Pinnacle Mountain, sprawling across 500 acres. Table Rock features a natural waterfall, an 18-hole course called The Rock and an onsite snack bar. Guests who stay in the resort's two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos are allowed free golf.

Been here before and will return!

The only thing I can complain about is the rates are the same if not cheaper without the GolfNow fees if you call the course or go online.

I have never been turned around, even if they were busy. I think they should either reduce the golfnow NORMAL rates or take them all off.

The Rock

Greens were perfect. Was not happy that they made us start on the back 9 when no one was on the 1st tee or in the fairway. When we returned to play hole number 1 we were lined up. Pace of play was awful on the last 9 holes. Never should have started us on 10. Not happy about it.

The Rock is Coming Back!

This was my first time playing The Rock in about 10 years. I quit playing cause the course conditions got to be so bad... After reading reviews about the improvements I decided to give it another shot.

The Bermuda fairways are dormant right now but the lies are really good. There are a few thin spots but that's to be expected in the middle of winter.

The greens were kind of fuzzy, looked like they had not been cut in a couple days (we have had some pretty bad weather with snow and rain so that's understandable). However, they were still pretty fast and it didn't affect the roll of your putts. It took me a few holes to get the speed figured out before I made any birdies.

Others have said there's a lot of elevation change but that's not true. The course is flat for the most part with the exceptions of: #1 (downhill tee shot), #4 (2 modest uphill shots), #5 ( downhill par 3 that runs parallel to #4), #8 (extreme downhill par 3), #9 (extreme uphill second). On the backside, #11 and #14 are downhill par 3s.

This is a very beautiful course, especially Gauley Falls just across the tee box on #8. Take your camera! My favorite holes are the stretch from #10 through #15 and #18 (eagle hole)! And lest I forget, #3 has an island green.

A couple of negative things to address are the carts and paths. The carts are gas powered, old, and have duct tape holding the seats together. (I hear they will be getting new carts) The cart I had was dirty and mud stained, looked like it hadn't been washed in a long time as there was dirt and sand in the cup holders and glove boxes. Being a cart attendant at an exclusive CC, this is not acceptable. Provide clean carts!

The paths are pretty bad in places and will bounce you around if you're not careful. I also heard they will be upgrading them in the future.

If you haven't played The Rock recently, by all means, take the time to give them another look, you won't be disappointed. There are a few kinks that need to be worked out but it appears management is bringing the course back. So go, play, and hit it straight on #10!

I'm so pleased with what is being done here to restore this great layout and I tip my hat to the owners. Keep up the good work and I'll see you soon!

Overpriced

The course isn’t awful. I would not pay full price for it as the greens are hard as a rock. Flying in from 100+ yds doesn’t even really leave a pitch mark which really stinks since many of the greens are table top greens so it can roll off rather easy. The course seems to have been placed on open plots of land, not much dirt moved here as it shows in the lack of hole diversity and layout. Greens are often times simple circles and the bunkers are mainly just flat sandboxes. Many of the golf carts are beat up and have duct tape holding the seats together. Again this isn’t all terrible but at full price these things become better unacceptable. Also one of the staff was very rude as after the round we wanted to buy a golf ball with the course logo and get a scorecard as a keepsake as there wasn’t one on the cart when we got it. The worker rolled his eyes and seemed annoyed by us even though all we wanted was to purchase an item.
