The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A George Cobb design reworked by Pete Dye, set on a former Civil War encampment with history markers at the tees and a well-regarded quartet of par 3s. A fair, scenic, intermediate-friendly course winding through live oaks and magnolias, defended by small greens and bunkering.
Consistently praised
- The strong set of par 3s and the scenic corridors through live oaks and magnolias.
- Civil War history markers at the tees give the round a sense of place.
Worth knowing
- Small greens are hard to read and well guarded by bunkers, and at barely over 6,000 yards it rewards accuracy more than length.
Golfers recommend
- A good pick for intermediate players and anyone who likes placement golf over power.
- Plan approaches carefully; the front nine is heavily bunkered and greens are tight.
