1/18/25 - 9:12 Tee Time. 3 groups ahead on the first tee box at 9:12 so not a great start. The starter was friendly and apologized due to a corporate group being slow off the first tee. Get to the second hole. 3 groups on the tee! Copy and Paste for the next 5 holes! Just brutal POP. 3hr front nine and 2:30 back nine. It's just unacceptable for a place with $177 green fees. OK RANT OVER

Conditions were pretty good overall. I had not played here since COVID and them doubling their green fee's from the $90 range to the 170-190 (dynamic price). Fairways were Bermuda dormant but played really nice. The Rough was an emerald green rye grass cut to about 1-2 inchs. Sand has always been a problem here but a few of the traps had very soft sand so maybe they are Finally figuring out that people want sand in the traps. The horseshoe trap around hole 6 still has very little sand. Greens were very nice, a touch on the firm side but held most shots and allowed spin. They rolled at a medium pace and were smooth.

Nice carts with GPS and speakers. No Beverage cart but the original halfway house (now on 12 after the layout change) Was open and the waitress was very friendly. IMO it's worth a play once in your life but for $177 and a 5+hr POP I will not be returning anytime soon unless a great deal is found.

Played 12/7 at 10AM. Check in was fast. Everyone in the pro shop was very nice. Went to the range to warm up before my round started. Beautiful practice facility at Goose Creek. I could spend hours a day practicing out there and enjoy every minute.

Course was in fantastic shape. Tee boxes were all level. Fairways were cut perfectly and had some roll out. Bunkers were good shape. Greens were holding shots very well and rolling very nice.

Goose Creek is a course that is made for everyone. You can walk it very easily and it makes you feel like your at a high end course without the high end price tag.

This course is a mile from work and I just needed to play a round. For $15 I figured whatever it’s the same as a bucket. Well it should not be classified as a course. Mostly dirt with patches of grass. However the greens were not that bad. Seems to be the only thing they can keep alive. Not recommended unless you are really jonezing for a round and are close by.

This is my second time playing here as Rob1563 and I played on NYE last year. The construction of the main resort is done and the PGA tour was here 2 weeks ago. The grandstands are just starting to be disassembled but were still mostly in tact. They have also instituted a mandatory caddy which was not the case last year. Its actually nice to have on your first trip here because there are many areas to avoid. Easy check in at the newly opened Pro Shop however its still a trek to the practice and tee box area. They shuttle you back and fourth but they will need to address this. The Fully Stocked and complimentary refreshment and food stations are now open. The Main one is at the practice area and 1st tee box, the other is off of 11th and 16th holes. Fully stocked with a handful of lunch items that you can call in from ahead of time. The Taco's and dole whip were fantastic. They also have alcohol on the back nine but the front nine is technically in a different city witch is Dry so you may not purchase booze on the front nine. Practice area has trackman's on every stall and a very fun 18 hole putting course.

On to the Conditions. HOLY SMOKE'S Is it pure right now. It makes sense as the PGA tour was here a few weeks back but d%mn its nice. Tee's lush level and mostly good. One tee box was a little chewed up on a par 3 but its fine. Fairways just short cut carpet with tons of roll and very nice to hit from. Rough was cut the day before as there was rain in the morning so it wasn't as penal but still tall enough to mess with your swing. Greens were as pure as can be. Super fast and smooth with some tough pin locations. Having the caddy helped a bit but our caddy was newish and did miss a few reads but never to the wrong side. Sand traps were great although wet from the rain. Carts are nice with a good GPS.

One new thing since the last time I was here is the addition of the 19th hole which is a 75yard par three over water and built into the side of the lava field the resort is on the left of the lake. Very stunning hole and I could sit on the balcony all day watching people play the hole.

Overall this place is still worth a play even at the expensive rack rates. Being all inclusive for food and non booze drinks helps a lot with sticker shock. The word on the street is that once everything is completely done they may go semi private with the only way to get a time is to book a room or wait until 2 days prior to snag a time or join the waitlist. Its going to be too popular with both the LPGA and PGA making stops every year.

Played on 9/27 with a couple of buddies. We got the twilight rate just under $100 for a 2pm tee time. The guy in the pro shop said all carts need to be in by 630 which seems early. We finished at 640 and they pulled the flags from the holes at 6:30 That was just plain unacceptable. Luckily we were on 18 and the group in front let us know where the hole was by waving at us from the green. Also a par 3 finish?!! That being said the Starter and Cart girl were by far some of the friendliest people I've encountered on the golf course.

As for the course we knew going in that the greens were not great as they did not handle the winter well. There are 3 greens with major issues but most did not affect the play on them. The other greens were in decent shape rolling at medium speed and receiving most shots. Fairways were in good shape. There are a few small areas that are GUR which is normal right before they close for winter. Tee's level and fine but a couple of 3's were chewed up. Sand needs some TLC as it was firm and more of a loose dirt than sand.

POP felt miserable but we finished just over 4:40 waiting on almost every tee box. I still can't get over the fact that they pulled the flags from the holes at 6:30 when we still had 45 mins of light. The group behind us almost had a stroke from screaming at the workers pulling flags. Its a fun course but at full rack, the conditions should be better. Hopefully they prep the greens better before the snow buries them for 5 months,

Out here for a friend's Bday. We utilized the under-par 2 for 400 deal as they were asking between 450-750 for their "dynamic" times. For $200 each its worth a play just for the scenery alone. The pro shop staff was nice however I did not talk to anyone else on property as the bags were loaded and there was no starter by the putting green so we didn't know if we should head to the tee or not. We had the 11AM tee time which is the first available for the under-par deal. There was nobody in front of us but a packed sheet behind us. After we tee'd off I never saw the group behind.

Course Conditions were as expected for a "Premium Course" Lush from tee to green. I did notice a couple areas in the fairways that had a small verti-cut patch but that makes sense as they are prepping for overseeding. These patches were still lush but could leave you with a weird lie. Speaking of lies dont expect a flat lie anywhere on the course. Its a tough one. Sand traps were the only thing on the course that could use a little TLC as they were on the firm side. Greens were firm and medium/fast depending on the grain. All putts break to the ocean but when you have a putt towards the ocean good luck.

Carts are nice with GPC and speakers, There was no cart lady but you can order food through the GPS for the turn, $10 hot dogs w/ chips. The layout here is very fun but also very tight. We played the tips as my buddy (2.3hdc) wanted to experience all 7100 yards and the 74.6 Rating with 144 slope. Yesterday they had every black tee box pushed as far back as possible which made it fun. I am not a short hitter but there are forced carries from the back tees up to 230 yards. Add in wind and its crazy. There were 3 holes where my ball barely made it to the fairway. It was a great test of my abilities but this course is too tight for me to score well given the added length.

If you can find a deal then its worth a play. Not worth paying more than $250 in my opinion. Its not pebble beach.

Went out yesterday at 3 pm (1st twilight time) for $155 with my buddy who had a Gift card for two. We got to the course at 2:10 in hopes of sneaking out early but the starter was a little bit of a prick. Only one group went out during the 2 o'clock hour... He gave us the cart keys at 2:55 and sent us on our way. We caught the 2:10 group on the 4th hole but they let us pass. Got to the back 9 in 1:15 but then caught some groups on the back for an overall pace of just over 3Hrs. Nice carts with the shark experience. Club Cleaners, Waters, in the stocked cart, and last call for the cart girl was on hole 5. The course has a fantastic layout, with views for days through hills and down to the ocean. Blue's are 6400 yards but with the on shore winds it plays a lot longer.

The course was in fantastic shape. I had played once before and the fairways were more dormant than green. That was not the case yesterday. Lush green Bermuda grass cut just short enough for a good rollout. Rough not too much longer but like most courses in OC there are some patches of kikuyu around. Tee boxes were a little chewed up but we were at the end of the day so it makes sense. The sand was decent but they will need some TLC soon to turn up the sand. The greens were a little bit of a letdown, They were too soft, and as with most high-end resort courses people feel like they don't have to fix their ball marks. It made for some strange bumps on putts but nothing too bad. When fixing the marks the roots were very strong so I think they can firm the greens up quickly if needed. Also at the end of the day there are a ton of leaves so it takes a little extra time to clear your line.

Overall I still think this course is wildly overpriced at $400 Rack Rate but $150 is worth a play as long as you can get all 18 in. One of the cart guys says on the weekends usually just the first 2-3 twilight times will finish at this time of the year.

Found a last-minute tee time on Labor Day. 8:50AM for $105. In my opinion its a fair price compared to other courses nearby in the same condition category. Check-In was easy and all of the staff members were friendly. Nice carts with GPS and Bluetooth Speakers built in.

Conditions were pretty good all around yesterday.

Tee Boxes- Blue tees were level and had mostly good area to tee up. The Par 3's were a little chewed up as they probably didnt move boxes all weekend.

Fairways- Mostly Lush and cut to perfect length the only down side was they looked freshly mowed but the cut grass was still all over on a few holes. I absolutely love the cushion that this type of grass provides and always look forward to playing here.

Greens- The greens were soft but rolled true and at a medium pace. A few greens had some divot issues but that's not the course's fault.

Rough- Rough was a mixed bag. Most of it was cut 1" but there were areas of 2-3" There are also a few types of grass to deal with.

Sand- I was not in the sand all day but our playing partners said it just OK.

I really like the layout here and I seem to always play well here as long as I keep my drives in play. If you can get a tee time its worth a play.

First Time out here in probably 10+ years. I don't have a lot to add to the other reviews from a few weeks ago. That being said the greens were fast and had medium firmness. Tough pin locations all day made for adventures on the greens. Fairways looked like they were verticut but the ball sat up nicely all day. Sand Traps were firm and a bit difficult to play from. They just need to rototill them and they'll be fine.

I loved the layout which being a Jack course it plays well to my fade!. If you have an opportunity to play I would not pass it up. I hope to get out to the next Golf Moose/Gk outing here.

Finally able to snag a weekend tee time. The gold card rate is now up to $140 which is the 2nd time in the last 2 years that they have raised it. Use to be 100. Rack is now $210 on the weekend which is very steep however the course was in the best shape I have ever seen it.

From tee to green the course is in stunning shape. Lush and level tee boxes with plenty of options to choose from. Fairways were a 10/10 carpet cut to just the right length. Rough was thick and penal a few locations especially greenside on #7 were a little mushy from the watering but nothing too bad. The sand was wet to start the morning but dried out by noon. Greens were medium soft and ran pretty quickly, they allowed some check to spinning shots and I would rate an 8/10. Nice carts with GPS and Speakers and the cart girl was around twice on the back nice. Please note she does not drive around the front nine as 6-9 are in the hills and they had a cart girl flip one.

I absolutely love the layout with a very good mix of long and short holes and good elevation changes. If you can get a deal it's 100% worth a play. Especially in its current condition.

Played in the men's club on Sat and figured I would update my last review from a few months back. The course is in fantastic shape overall. You can tell they are putting in the time and money to make this place a top-notch facility. Check-in was easy and carts were staged as there were 2 shotgun tournaments going out this morning. The range has trackman launch monitors at each bay but the range was quite full due to the two shotguns happening. POP was slow as the course was full. We finished just under 5 hours but it was a beautiful day on a beautiful course.

Conditions keep getting better and better here. Tee Boxes, Fairways, and rough were all lush and very nice to play from. The farther offline you go the nastier the conditions get. The course has some natural creeks that have giant reeds and eat your errant shots so do your best to avoid those. Greens were soft yet fast to play. While fixing ball marks the grass itself was very healthy and had a deep root system. The good news was that we didnt encounter any ball marks, im glad people are doing their part. The only part of the course that needs work is the sand. They have started working on them but I guess its a long process for the course.

I highly recommend playing here if you get a chance. I have the player's card so if you want to tee up with me I get a $75 rate on weekends for Myself +3 guests. The rack rate is $125.

First Time Back in over 10 years! I have always loved the layout of this course but I just never thought the conditions matched the price tag. Well, I am happy to report that the conditions are much better than in the past. Robert did a great job detailing the conditions and I have no information to add to his review below. I know the rack rate of $100 on the weekend is a lot but compared to what else is out there for a similar price it's hard not to choose Redhawk. I will definitely add this to the rotation after yesterday.
