02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

A 1929 muni on James Island reborn after a thrifty restoration that grafted bold Seth Raynor template greens (Redan, Biarritz, Punchbowl, Road, Cape) onto flat, working-class ground. One of the best value architectural experiences in the South, though small green pads can feel undersized for the contours and volume of play slows pace.

Best forShot-makingWalkableVariety

Consistently praised

Surprisingly bold template greens (Redan 11, Biarritz 8, Punchbowl 6) on a true public-access budget.
A local, unpretentious feel with downtown convenience, and flat ground that walks easily.

Worth knowing

Heavy tee sheet means pace can drag, and some reviewers feel the green sizes are tight for the contours.

Golfers recommend

Walk it; the land is flat and the routing is short.
Play a forward tee and focus on approach angles; the interest is in the green complexes.
