The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Coore and Crenshaw minimalist design golfers describe as a throwback, walkable with caddies available and built on small, sloped, well-defended greens rather than length. Under 6,700 yards, so the appeal is strategy, variety, and a quiet Lowcountry vibe; access is private.
Consistently praised
- Minimalist Coore and Crenshaw design that feels like it has been there a century.
- Small, sloping greens and strategic options (the drivable par-4 17th, the 11-13 stretch) reward thinking.
Worth knowing
- Short by modern standards, so bombers will not find this a power course, and it is a private club.
Golfers recommend
- Take a caddie and walk it; the course is built to be walked.
- Club selection and the correct side of the green matter more than driver distance.
