Cool layout

No carts were available for my 3:40 tee time, didn’t go off until 4:30. Cart was dirty and smelled like stale beer. For the price it is not worth it.

Oooooffff

Course was soaking wet. Every hole had puddles. Charleston received rain 2 days prior. The greens are a complete mess, very long and slow. Extremely slow. By hole 10 there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. Unfortunate as this course was in amazing shape Nov-April. No chance to get food other than a cart girl. While the course layout is nice, it’s very tight and short. Some holes can be repetitive. . Save your money, play something else. Soft Pace, Slow greens.

Loved it!

The fairways and greens were awesome. The greens rolled pure and were in great shape. They were working on some of the bunkers that were damaged several weeks ago with heavy rain.

Not worth the money

This course is definitely not worth even the discounted Golf Now discount price. One of the holes was under construction and you had to play a make shift hole twice. The staff is friendly but for the money I would play other courses. I’ve played many links courses this is not one of them. I generally don’t critique but due to my disappointment felt I had to. If you have to play one of these courses, the Harbor course is just as challenging and way cheaper.

Harbor Course

Yesterday was the first time playing the full course; as the first time I played, 5 holes were flooded. Playing solo behind a 3 some was not bad. They saw that I was moving quickly and let me play through. The problem lies in that foursome that was originally ahead of them. They seem to believe that they were going to PGA tour this week. They were so slow that the 3 some who were 1.5 holes behind me caught up with me and we still had to wait 5-10 minutes just to get them from tee to fairway to green. Probably could have finished that round in 3.5. Course wise, it was MAGNIFICENT. Not a bad spot out there unless you landed near the gators, and you had to beg their pardon to play through. Will return in the future.

Good challenge

Much better than the Harbor course, which is unnecessarily narrow and has postage stamp greens. The Links course is a proper course, representing a proper challenge of your golfing skills.

Not an Exclusive Experience

If you like to play in a venue where between holes you drive through construction sites, commercial parking areas where payloaders, bulldozers occupy beat up parking lots and chain link fences this is your place. The fairways were fine, the greens tiny but acceptable condition, but everything away from the hole itself detracts from your experience. The roadways for carts are a deteriorated mess, you’re driving with or against real traffic over highway bridges. To hold yourself out as a first class experience is dishonest at. Least. But there aren’t a lot of choices on IOP, so if you want convenience this is one of your two choices. Also, although my greens fee included driving range privileges, the range was closed for maintenance and I was not offered any compensation. Also know that there is NO DRIVING RANGE at the Harbor course, you have to drive your car to the Links course if you want to hit balls before playing, then drive back to Harbor to play. Not an ideal set up and not disclosed on the website.my 5 star rating for pace of play was because no one was out there.I was able to go out 90 minutes before my tee time (I was there early to hit balls on the closed driving range at the Links course.)PS do not attempt to walk this course!

Harbor course

The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The starter was knowledgeable about the course and conditions. The fairways were perfect along with the greens. Great layout with good views
