About Tudor Oaks Inn
The Tudor Oaks Inn in Summerville, South Carolina, is a small outpost with only three rooms named after famous golf courses in Scotland (St. Andrews), England (Sunningdale) and Ireland (Royal Dublin). It sleeps only six, but staying has its perks: Access to the golf and tennis at the adjacent semiprivate club, the Legend Oaks Golf & Tennis Club, which offers the Bistro One18 restaurant. Tudor Oaks Inn, which also has an outdoor pool, is located within 25 minutes of Charleston and near three large plantations worth touring - Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and Drayton Hall.Facts

The greens were in good shape, wish my putting had been!!!
I've always enjoyed playing at Legend Oaks, The GPS really helps me find the greens.
Course layed out through resort very nice
Course was challenging because of water and unknown fairways Playing the course for the first time
Well maintained and very nice location
Will return for another round
Interesting layout with challenging dog legs
The day we played was a "cool" day by SC standards. We decided to play from the Gold tees rather than the Blues since they were marked 6600 yards - just over our normal 6500. On that day however, the gold tees were in most cases near the back of the tips tee box, with the tips marked on (or past) the back edge of the tee box. This made the course play closer to 6800 by our estimate and made for many shots >200 yards in on par 4's and not being able to reach corners of dog legs forcing a lay-up.
The tee boxes themselves were in rough shape which is what brought the course condition down, the fairways, greens, bunkers and even rough were all pretty well kept. The best part of the course is the in-cart GPS allowing accurate yardages without searching for a spinkler.
We enjoyed our round there, however I was glad to have payed the GolfNow price, and am not sure I would feel I got a good value if I payed full-price to play here.
It could have been great but.....
The layout and the scenery is incredibly beautiful. The problem with the course is that it has horrible drainage. This has been my experience on two separate occasions. Not only do balls plug where they do not on other nearby courses on the same day, the course gets so saturated that there are literally deep footprints around the greens. Either you play and sink in the ground where you walk or if you play after a week or two dry spell you are hitting out of old semi hardened foot prints.
The inside staff was neither friendly or nasty. They just were there.
My real complaint about staff is they have one particular grass cutter that will mow the entire property without ever acknowledging your existence and moving over to the side. Somebody pointed this out to me the first time I played there and said he is notorious for doing this. Well wouldn't you know it he was there this last time I played there and was at it again. The other grass cutters were courteous. This fellow as an attitude. If you play there you can't miss him. He is a heavy set fellow with a white beard with the attitude of you do not belong on his golf course when he is working. Twice in four months is not a coincidence.
Alot of features come into play that make the challange
I played this course many years ago and was in ok condition. This time it was great, The back nine did not have houses when I played it before, the wind can come into play now, the gators are more visible. The greens were great, true roll and held. The course has great They have many different tees for the low and high handicapper. A great time at a great course.
Great Local course
This course although seems wet everytime I've played it's a great local spot that does not seem to get very busy. Excellent place for a decent round of golf. Price is great for the difficulty of the course. Tend to have slow greens and plenty of opitons for on course play. Only down fall.... no real driving range. They have a few mats and balls that you hit into a net, alittle dissappointing. However need to consider the course is surrounded by homes so has little room for a range. None the less is a down fall in my eyes. staff is excellent and they have put alot of money into their carts. Recently added GPS for a more enjoyable round.
I have played this course again since this review and I really missed it. The course is in much better condition than I gave it credit for originally. By comparison to neighboring courses the layout and conditions are superior. I highly recommend playing it. If I could change my review ranking I would give it 4 to 4 and 1/2 stars. Would be a 5 if they had a full driving range and one grass cutter was courteous. This course is a must play if you are in the area.
