The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Dr. Michael Hurdzan 27-hole layout on a former Lowcountry plantation, where Oak Forest plays as the gentle, wide-fairway nine and Burn Kill steps up with elevation changes, bigger greens and tighter strategic bunkering. Reviewers treat it as a reliable, locally beloved everyday option with three rotating nines and a friendly vibe rather than a destination.
Consistently praised
- 27 holes of variety, so the round changes feel each time depending on which two nines you draw.
- Live oaks and wetlands give it real Lowcountry character without resort prices, and Oak Forest’s wide fairways suit higher handicaps.
Worth knowing
- Course conditioning has uneven stretches, and the layout reads more as a solid local routine than a destination.
Golfers recommend
- If you can pick, ask for Oak Forest plus Burn Kill (easier first, stiffer second).
- Watch the par-3 8th on Oak Forest with water all down the left; club up.
