The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The newer of Belfair’s two Tom Fazio courses, the East is the more open, links-inspired layout, with windswept fairways, naturalized sand, and native grasses set against Lowcountry oaks and pines, plus Colleton River views on the closing stretch. Golfers rate the par 3s and characterful greens the highlights.
Consistently praised
- An open, windswept links character that contrasts with the tree-lined West.
- A standout set of par 3s and greens with genuine character, plus scenic closing holes with river and wetland views.
Worth knowing
- Demands every club in the bag from the start, and it is a private club; preference between East and West is close to a coin flip.
Golfers recommend
- The links-style ground game and open look reward creative shot-making.
- If you can play both Belfair courses, the East-West contrast is the whole point.
