The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An Arthur Hills semi-private set against the Wando River and Wagner Creek, framed by big oaks dripping Spanish moss and a finishing 18th along the water that draws the most praise. A fair, playable layout with generous fairways and well-guarded greens, with a recurring gripe about guest-service attitude when non-members visit.
Consistently praised
- Wando River setting with live oaks and Spanish moss, plus a picturesque riverside 18th.
- Wide fairways and manageable carries make it accessible for mid handicaps; gators, deer and herons remind you you’re in the Lowcountry.
Worth knowing
- Guest-experience reviews are uneven, and some holes feel like a neighborhood routing rather than memorable golf.
Golfers recommend
- Pick a tee that lets you reach par 5s in regulation territory; the interest is at the greens, not from the tips.
- Save your camera for the closing stretch along the river.
