Jimmy McDowell
Golf course was in good shape and player friendly. Enjoyed the course and the staff was nice. It was my first time there so I'm not sure if I misunderstood or not but if you are wanting a quick drink/snack on the turn they don't have any so take your own. Also the water on the course don't have cups so on a hot afternoon round it can be very tough.

Just moved into the area, was very happy with the course. Wide fairways = some bare spots, challenging greens - some smaller. Staff is good but can see how some would have attitude. Not a walk-able course (unfortunately). They do need water on the course - they do have at bathroom facilities but it didn't work. Play was very slow on the front and opened up as some groups dropped off. A ranger could have helped speed up the slow group. Price was decent as a resident.

I live in sun city, but have only played here once. It's an awesome course, and I had a blast. I usually go there to practice. They have everything you need... A putting green, chipping and sand trap green, and the driving range.

Probably the most pristine golf course I have played on in the low country. Greens perfect rolled great, fairway were smooth with lots of grass, tee boxes were spectacular. I can't wait to go back.
