9/21 nice cool slightly overcast conditions with just the right amount of sun the last few holes. easy 415 POP with no waiting and no pressure from behind. Fairways continue to be fairly good having recovered fully from recent raking. Grass is turning brownish but still good cover and cushion for the most part. Few thinner areas scattered about but not to the point of being bare or to the level of GUR. Fairways are getting ample water so soil is soft under the turf making it easy to make divots and by observation some quite deep. Too many left unfilled, I used up 3 1/2 bottles of sand. No excuses for customers to not take better care, particularly since the course is working hard to keep up a high quality.
Rough has been cut down to 1-2 inches but is a little clumpy and tangled in places requiring thought and execution.
Tees mostly ok, some thin with divot damage on a few. Bunkers have deep heavy sand which provides quite the challenge. No rakes and plenty of foot prints.
Greens soft and vulnerable for pitch marks with many marginally repaired and some overlooked entirely. We started on the back as they were using small tines on the front which came as a surprise and since it was freshly done there was some bumpiness but overall ok. By the time we finished info was posted at the starter.
$10 single rider cart fee, masks at check in, no drinking water on the course, sand on the carts and 10 minute tee times.

9/ 16 using teeoff deal time $31 POP 410 fairly busy 1100 time following a 5some and a slowish 4some. Fairways are still ok overall with some brownish areas and still pretty good cover. Rough about 2 inches mostly thick enough to make it interesting. Bunkers mostly groomed with covid conditions and varying sand quality. Tees thin many slanted to some degree.
Greens are again the highlight for the course mostly healthy mostly smooth rolling medium fast. Some pins in places I have never seen before often nears the periphery and often tucked behind bunkers for front placements.
Course is still a major construction mode so aesthetics are not so good. Still a fun tricky layout with accuracy a premium.

9/14 warmish morning with a 4 hr POP with some waiting. Course is showing some wear from the heat since last review, some areas of fairways are rather thin while the majority is in good condition. No sand on the carts so the unfilled divots are increasing as is the amount of play since all 18 opened. Rough along fairways long enough to impede roll but playable. Some areas closer to the greens thicker and longer. Tee boxes a little thin with the par 3s showing more wear. Bunkers groomed but with no rakes quickly show the foot traffic.
Greens rolling medium fast mostly smooth, back 9 had micro punches without any sanding. Quite a few pitch marks in evidence. Greens appeared mostly healthy with the exception of #14 which had some bare areas around the edges.
Covid requirements masks around people and cart is not allowed to be moved until tee off unless you are old or infirm then you can take it to get loaded and then to the range. Grass range and large putting green. No GPS and basic yardage markers. No drinking water on course. No cart service today.
Friendly staff. Layout has good variety and setting has a rural feel. $34 senior rate online

9/3 guru outing playing with David Greg and Steve a good grouping for an enjoyable time. Great SC weather just enough breeze to minimize any heat and only about 1/2 club to factor in. Pleasant 4 hour POP leisurely enough to enjoy the surroundings of this park land setting with mature trees and a river that runs through it.
Fairways are lush with healthy growth for great lies, a little on the softer side so less roll but way better trade off than hard and dry. Saw only one area that was thin looked to have been washed out some from the earlier rains. Good job of divots being filled most areas with the exception of CPOs where players forgot to carry their sand bottle with them.
Rough was short about 2 inches at the most but sticky even with the ball setting up it was tricky to play from and was definitely a distance killer as the ball stopped quickly.
Tees in fine shape. Bunkers groomed but somewhat inconsistent as some were thin and firm at the base.
Greens were very healthy with the one exception of #14 that appeared to be recovering from what could have been a fungus. Greens are not cut down as much as in past visits probably in anticipation of the next heat wave but still rolled out at medium/medium fast speeds. Also appeared to have been fertilized as there was a fine granular substance in evidence which did not seem to effect the roll.
Range was on high quality mats, ample chipping area with bunkers that were representative of course conditions and putting green with cups speed was a little faster than on course.
Covid response required masks at check in. Single cart given out without question. Carts have ball washer and club cleaner along with interactive GPS and very comfortable seats.
Friendly helpful staff providing good customer service.

9/2 nice SC AM very light breeze and enough cloud cover to keep it just right for the round. Covid guidelines masks indoors and 1 golfer at a time preferred 2 riders ok with $10 single fee. Range open chipping area has pegs no rakes in bunkers anywhere, sand bottles on cart. Noodle about 2 inches from top of cup.
Fairways are doing very well growing from recent care, mostly lush nice lies but less roll and good cushion under the ball. Players are getting sloppy and not taking time to fill divots and with the softer conditions there are some craters left behind--come on people takes a few seconds.
Rough is cut down most areas except on some slopes and low areas where longer and juicier is the rule. Bunkers appear to be groomed daily but quickly show the traffic history and with the soft dampish deep sand the footprints are epic. Tees ok some areas of divot damage.
Greens are quite good soft and receptive but prone to pitch marks. Left a little longer for heat mitigation so grain can come into play.
Good customer service with friendly staff. POP 420 which felt longer as we followed a 4some that seemed overly deliberate.
