The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Rocky Roquemore parkland layout off-island in Bluffton with one of the area’s best practice ranges, widely seen as a solid-value, every-club test rather than a destination splurge. Pines and water frame the fairways.
Consistently praised
- Strong value for the area, a budget-friendly alternative to island green fees.
- The double-sided range and large practice greens are a highlight, among the best in the Bluffton area.
Worth knowing
- Reviews disagree on width off the tee, and water is in play on most holes, so it punishes wayward ball-strikers.
Golfers recommend
- Pick a tee honestly; the back markers stretch long and the slope climbs fast.
- Arrive early and use the range, one of the best around.
