Just bad

Sorry, but this course really need some help. And it is very unfortunate since the layout is fun and interesting.

Embarrassing

Booked tee time with GolfNow with expectation of using the new “Smart Play” product. Dumb move on my part. I checked in early on day of golf using GolfNow app, expecting my credit card on file to be charged. Arrived at course expecting to proceed directly to first tee but was told to check in first in Pro Shop. Personnel working front desk accused me of not yet paying for my party of four, but after a somewhat heated discussion, in front of a few other groups, issued me a ticket for the starter, accepting my argument that I thought I had paid already. After thinking about it on the range, I went back in and said I was sure I had paid since I had not received a receipt on line. They charged me a reduced fee for my four rounds and thanked me for “being honest”. We’ll, when I checked my credit card activity, I see I in fact paid for 8 rounds of golf, 4 via Golf Now and 4 at the course. Somebody owes me a refund and an apology, which isn’t as important as the $$$.

Better now it’s been redone

Better course with new greens, some trees still 0ver hang fairways blocking shot to green from good drive. Course knowledge is needed on ball placement. Will play again this year

Good course in poor condition

Practice ground was showing overuse. Hardly any grass , virtually all sand. Greens very good but fairways and tees were poor. Little grass growth on the fairways.

Getting Better

This solid course has improved from when I last played a few years ago. Greens were very good. Some areas had new grass and traps were much better. Fairways very thin this time of year and work still needed there. Rack rates are a bit too high, but would certainly play again for a deal price.

Challenging

The layout is great. No hole is the same. Plenty of water to keep your attention, and the greens…well I played the Cupp and Hills course back to back days and never did figure out the subtle breaks in the greens. The greens are the most challenging part of the course. They certainly defend the course admirably. Course conditions were just fine for January golf. If you are up to having your game challenged, go and play either of the Plantation Hall courses. You won’t be disappointed.. I will return to try my hand at both courses again..someday.

Great course for the value.

I would put this course equal with most of the luxurious Hilton Head courses that would cost twice as much. Bag drop-off staff kindly greeted and loaded our clubs along with cleaning them after 18. Clubhouse staff all helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

Nice course

The greens had be aerated but rolled very smoothly. Hardly noticed at all.
Course is good shape. Fairways is good shape but can be even better as summer growing season starts.
Worth the aerated rate to me.

Hilly & challenging greens

We played around noon, The course is in good condition with interesting and hilly greens. Try to play in the morning if you can. It was a bit hard to play for the back nine when the sun was against you.
