Great course with lots of looks. Elevated tee pads were a welcomed surprise as we don't see much of that here in the lowcountry. Well thought out design that they clearly spent time on. I was by myself and for my first time out did not have much issue navigating. Also really enjoyed the selection of discs and gear in the Outpost. I encourage anyone to go support them. We don't have many places here where you can actually get your hands on discs before buying.

The water and mud is well documented here in the reviews so partially I blame myself for not being more prepared, but I was very taken back to see it in person. Instead of elaborating which will sound more like complaining I'll simply state that one must be fully prepared or make sure it has not rained in at least a few days prior. Other than that I really have no other cons to report.

This really is a 3.5 course, my rating of 3 is simply due to the extreme water and mud I experienced on the one day I went. I would normally be more objective and give it the score it deserves but there had not been too much rain in the days leading up to my round so I thought I would be okay, but I was very wrong. That aside, I encourage anyone in the area to check it out and support an awesome course that lends itself greatly to the culture of the sport.

Sewee Outpost is a fun and unique course in Awendaw, SC, about 10 miles north of Mount Pleasant, SC on Highway 17. It's worth the drive.

PROS:

1. I liked the course design. Most holes were very solid. It's a wooded course and very technical, but there are a few longer holes with enough open space to throw a big drive. There is a good mix of hyzer/anhyzer.

2. They installed elevated tees and baskets on a few holes, giving the course some elevation (in a part of the country that doesn't have much elevation to work with). I really liked the elevated tee holes. Hole 8 is a pretty simple dogleg left hole, mostly open, with the elevated tee giving this the feel of a downhill hole. The better hole, and my favorite on the course, is #4. It has an elevated tee (off of a raised deck) and it plays to a basket on a large mound. It's the best hole for watching the flight of the disk and is also a good risk/reward hole due to the elevated basket.

3. I will talk about water and drainage on the course in the cons section, but I want to mention the two "swamp holes" as pros. I thought they were a lot of fun -- and very unique. Obviously, there's a big risk/reward component to these holes, as going for the basket could result in a birdie...or your disk in swamp water. There are narrow bridges of single boards to traverse these holes. To me, these were the unique holes that give Sewee Outpost its character as a Lowcountry course.

4. Navigation was simple, with very good tee signs. The signs included layout and distance.

5. Trash cans at every tee. Very well maintained grounds.

6. The facilites at Sewee Outpost are excellent. Sewee Outpost is actually a gas station and very large general store. It's the bait and tackle shop the locals use, but you can also get groceries and snacks. They have added sections for sporting goods, camping, kayaking, fishing, hunting, etc. They have an OK selection of discs, all Innova, including Sewee Outpost stamped Roc's, Roc3's, and Thunderbirds. This is a pay-to-play course ($5/person for all day; kids are free), but it doesn't feel like you're paying anything as purchases in the store -- drinks, snacks, discs, or anything except gas -- count against your $5 fee.

1. I usually like rubber tees, but I wasn't a fan of the ones at Sewee. I played on an overcast day after a few days of rain, so consider that with my criticism, but I thought they were very slick. I also thought they could have been a little bigger. They were just a little too short.

2. Not surprisingly for a course in the Lowcountry, built on or around a marsh, there are drainage issues. When I played, there was standing water on a few holes and lots of muddy areas. I did like the marsh holes, so I don't count those as negatives against the course. If you get muddy on those holes, that's just part of the flavor of this course. But for holes that aren't supposed to be water holes, some were pretty wet and muddy.

3. I didn't think there were many standout holes here to justify more than a 3.0 or 3.5 rating. I would've gone with the 3.5 were it not for the slick tees and drainage issues. It's definitely above average, but there wasn't anything so memerable as to elevate it to a 4.0 or higher for me.

If you are in Charleston, particularly on the Mt. Pleasant side of the Cooper River, this is a must-play course. The only other options are IOP (which I gave a 1.0 and you could make a case for it being too dangerous to be in existence) and Park Circle in North Charleston, which I rated a 2.5 and think is just an average course. I have not yet played the best course in the region, which is on the other side of the Cooper and Ashley rivers on James Island, Trophy Lakes. I hear it is top notch. However, this is really a very spread out, sprawling area. If you are vising the beach at IOP or staying in Mt. Pleasant, James Island is a really long hike -- especially when the tourists are out in full force. The best option is to drive north on 17 and hit up Sewee Outpost. (That being said, the next time I'm in Charleston, I am DEFINITELY playing Trophy Lakes...along with Sewee Outpost!)

Sewee Outpost is a nice addition to the Lowcounty disc golf scene. This is a solid course, so be sure to make a drive to Charleston's outskirts to play the Outpost!
- Course has a solid, steady flow to it. If you can throw straight and accurate, you will be seeing plenty of birdie putts. If not, you'll be dealing with some heavy rough on many of the holes.
- The course is almost exclusively an accuracy over distance layout. Average hole length is 'only' 250 feet, with the longest hole at 352 feet. To its credit, due to some tight fairways, this course feels longer than it plays.
- To compensate for a lack of length and elevation, course makes up with lots of wooded holes, lots of doglegs and tight fairways. Playing two rounds on my visit here, I didn't get a feel of any holes being unfair or poorly designed. Solid design throughout.
- Some of the hardest basket placements were on the shorter holes. The back-to-back layout of holes #6 & 7 might be one of the best short-hole combos I've seen on any course. Both holes are less than 200 feet (181 & 192 respectively), with both requiring solid tee shots. #6 is a sharp dogleg left, with a high sweeping shot probably being one of your better tee options. #7 can be a simple par if you simply throw straight. If you're trying for the birdie, you'll need to find a way to get close to the basket, which is a slight dogleg right (for the last 50 feet of the hole) to a slight raised pin placement.
- Course has a huge risk/reward factor. A good player could throw a mid-range off every tee, throwing smart, straight shots and walk away with 18 straight 3s. The problems begin when one starts to get aggressive, bringing the rough/thick tree coverage off the fairways into play. It's very boring aiming for 18 straight 3s, but you also don't want to add unnecessary strokes to your scorecard.
- Hole #4 is the only course that offers much elevation. You tee off from a raised mound, throwing from a deck, across a semi-open field, back to a dogleg right basket on top of another mound. This was the most fun hole on the course, along with being the best hole to watch a tee shot sail away. This is a very enjoyable hole.
- There are very nice tee signs and navigational signs throughout the course. One of the small touches that was helpful was on the transitions between holes. For some that crossed holes, they had the upcoming hole number painted on the road crossing, letting players know they were headed in the right direction. It's a small touch, but it's the little things that make a round more enjoyable.

As mentioned, this is a very consistent course throughout. While that's a good thing, it does bring up a glass half-empty feeling as well.
- While the course is consistently solid throughout, it's lacking really good-to-great layouts and/or truly challenging holes. As long as I stayed on the fairway with my tee shots, I really never had to work hard for a 3. The lone exception was hole #14, a 260 foot hole that starts in the open and ends with an aim toward an opening in the trees to the right side of the fairway. My shot when slightly long and to the left, and being in the woods, I had no chance for an up-and-down. This course would be well suited to having some more strategic layouts as this one.
- The other negative about the layout is that the course could start feeling repetitive. A lot of holes have similar lengths. On the back 9, for example, seven of the nine holes are between 260 and 287 feet. Throw in a lot of doglegs and/or wooded fairways, and some players might feel like they're throwing the same tee shot multiple times. As such, there were very few holes that stood out from the pack.
- On some of the wooded holes, the tree coverage is extremely thick if you get off the fairway. It can present a challenge to just get to your disc if you're off the fairway. It also can present a challenge just to throw your disc back onto the fairway, never mind the thought of advancing your shot down the fairway. Of course, if this bothers you, you are playing a course in a national forest. Just saying.

I enjoyed playing at Sewee Outpost. In my opinion, this is the second best permanent course in the Charleston area. Trophy Lakes is still the king in this area, but Sewee gets the nod over the rest of the courses in the region.
- I appreciate seeing benches and trash cans on just about every single hole. Not only were there trash cans, you could tell they were emptied on a regular basis. Doubly impressive!
- The outpost has a solid selection of Innova discs, plus just about anything else you could want. Anything you could imagine needing for a round of disc golf, you'll find here.
- Here's my thinking. You're already out $5 to play here, whether you pay just to pay or you spend that money in the outpost. I bought a disc for $16. I could have probably gotten it online for a couple bucks cheaper; but I justified it as coming out ahead - $16 spent - $5 course fee = $11 disc. I'm sure plenty of people would rather spend that money on food or adult libations.
- This was well worth the extra 30 minutes of driving to go past Park Circle and some of the other courses to play Sewee. It would probably see even more action if it were slightly closer to the city, but it's still worth checking out.

There are some really cool holes, like #4 teeing off a deck on a hill. Pretty easy in terms of exercise. nice change between open field, tight woods, and random trees in the way.

Played early in the morning. Despite no rain the last three days, still pretty damp. BUGS! I was eaten alive out there.

Is it a course you NEED to play? No. Is it a solid course to play? Yes.

Mostly tight wooded holes with a few that traverse open territory. The course is generally flat but the elevated tees (off a constructed mound) add additional variety. Most of the wooded holes are on the tight side, but they are well constructed and fair, with no obstacles within the flightpaths. The course was much better than I expected. I never found myself bored. High fun factor.
Great tees and baskets. The layout flows pretty smoothly and few should have issues with navigation. 8 finishes back at the lot which is nice at a course set around a store. For those that like hunting aces, there will be plenty of opportunities for runs.

A lot of the holes are really short, and they may not be challenging enough for many players. Those new to the sport, who may seek shorter courses, may have trouble keeping it in the fairway. Sewee is aimed pretty squarely at intermediate players which suits me fine. But just as I was never bored, I was never wowed either. One that I thoroughly enjoyed playing, but wouldn't feel the need to return to unless I was local to the area.

Sewee Outpost has 18 holes of disc golf, and is probably a pretty fun place for other reasons. The Wednesday night Barn Jams would be another thing I would likely enjoy. There is a gas station, with all sorts of food, drinks, snacks, as well as disc golf gear, clothes, toys, and other assorted items. The reason for my visit of course: disc golf. They never charged me green fees since my girlfriend and I bought a couple of tasty sandwiches, a fruit salad and drinks. They did require us to wear wristbands on the course. As for the facilities, tees were rubber mats, that was marked with posts, and an illustrated sign for each hole marking the fairway's path, basket location, direction to the next tee. Baskets were all Discatchers in practically new condition. There were a number of other handwritten, laminated notes, and numbered crosswalks over roads to help guide you along. Hard to get lost here. Recycling bins were plentiful. Layout flowed pretty well, and avoided other traffic at most times.

The course was not overly difficult, tending to be average to short in terms of distance, especially on the front nine. The course alternates from open fairway one hole, to woods the next and back again repeatedly. Number 1 is short and open with sparse trees near the target. 2 is a short, left turn hyzer, and I got the birdie there. 3 is one of three holes over 300', and open, but some mature trees make you choose one side or the other. 4 is interesting, starting at the tee, which is a nice wooden deck that is elevated 6 or 7 feet. The fairway turns right around some trees, to a basket that is also on top of a dirt mound a few feet tall. Left and right turning holes are about evenly mixed, with some straight shots thrown in too. 5, 6, and 7, are short but woodsy. 8 tees from the same mound as 4, but has a separate rubber mat. It is a long (334' is second longest on the course), fairly open, left turn hyzer. 9 and 10, short and wooded again. At 11 the average length of holes stretch, around 260' to 290' except for 16. 12 is a straight shot through some moderately thick trees, and I pulled a very fortunate deuce here, filtering through some very narrow gaps, it was beautiful and felt great. 13, 14, and 15 are all somewhat open. 16 is the longest hole, measuring 352', and has trees lining both sides of the fairway that turns slightly left. 17 is a left hyzer to a basket that is guarded by fairly thick brush and trees if you miss the front door. 18 is pretty much wide open finishing right next to the entrance of the Sewee Outpost, close to the first hole. I liked this course because it is compact, and fun. There are not many holes where you feel a birdie is unrealistic, but you're required to make good throws consistently to stay out of trouble. A lot of holes I took a 3 and it felt like a bogey. I also took a handful of legitimate bogeys.

Few reasons to be disappointed. Concrete tee pads would be nice. Probably way too easy for exceptionally skilled players. A sign indicated that a couple of holes may be used for overflow parking at peak busy times, and then become unplayable.

I liked the disc golf course at Sewee Outpost, and would play there frequently if I lived nearby. No water in play, and no natural elevation change. Some nice holes, but nothing that is extraordinary. Not championship caliber, but fun all the same. Short and efficient layout would make multiple rounds fairly easy here. Part of a very nice October day was well spent checking this one out. The store was well stocked, employees were super nice, and dog friendly. There is also a restaurant across the highway. Next time I'm staying for the barn jam.

The "clubhouse" is a gas station/convenience store that is quite convenient. Restrooms, snacks, some food, and some discs are nice.
Holes 4,8, 15, and 17 are the stand out holes. #4 is fun with a wood deck tee box perched atop a 10' mound throwing to the basket on another mound. #8 throws from the same mound and a longer throw that you can put some power into. #15 is a hyzer shot through pines with gaps wide enough for an easy recovery if you stray. #17 is a cool shoot through a 12' gap to an open field to the basket tucked into some small trees--well guarded. Nice rubber tee pads that gripped well even when wet. (it was really wet when we played). Tee signs on trees at every hole with garbage cans/buckets/bins at every hole as well. Overall I had a pretty good time.

Holes 5-11 were repetitve (#8 the exception) with short, tight fairways. #11 is a shortish dogleg with too tight of a fairway for your disc to be able to do work. Some fairways (although clear of brush) had trees right in the middle forcing a throw and pray scenario. Since they were so short you aren't far away from an upshot that puts you in for 3 anyway. For a pay to play course it was not maintained very well. Not very many benches and 17-18 may become a parking lot. Holes 5-11 hold a lot of water.

When we played it had been raining quite a bit, but still some holes were unplayable due to ankle to knee high standing water in the fairways and trails with no way to go around. If you are visiting Charleston play Trophy Lakes for the same price and you wont have to drive as far. This course is probably worth $5. Although you can spend that much in the store, most of the items are overpriced convenience store fare. My opinion is to just make a single purchase in the store as the fee--that would be more appropriate for what you are getting. Not a destination/tournament course, but if you are driving by on hwy 17 it is worth checking out if you want to take a break, it is right off of the hwy.
