Great fun, good mix of wicked tight and nicely open 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 26, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The vibe from the staff at the Outpost is great from when you first walk on the campus.
It's well marked and easy to follow from hole to hole.
The technicality of the holes makes it a lot more challenging than you'd first think from scoping out the distances.
Lots of fun with the changing open to tight lines mixing it up from hole to hole.
Amenities available are great! Plus live music every Wednesday that you can listen to as you play? Awesome!
There's a couple elevated tee pads (in otherwise FLAT Charleston area) that make it lots of fun.

Cons:

A bit of a distance from Charleston proper, but well worth the drive.
The rubber tee pads aren't completely flat on a couple holes, so that's a bit disconcerting.

Other Thoughts:

This course is awesome. It's not a giant drives every hole type course, but it's very technical and makes you plan your shots accordingly. It's well manicured with plenty of birdie opportunities, as well as plenty of bogey opportunities if you miss your lines and end up in the woods. Lots of fun, it's definitely going to be a regularly played course for me.
Also, I met one of the owners and sat and talked with him for about 45 minutes. Great guy with lots of love for the sport, really humble and down to earth, just makes the whole experience there even better!

Good Course to play! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

*All Innova Discatcher Goals in great shape.

*All rubber tee pads in great shape.

*Navigation is very easy, with good signage.

*Ace race chances for stronger arms and a good course to challenge your control shots.

*Very little chance of losing a disc, with no water hazards.
*Features a nice selection of disc in their outpost
store. (with a very friendly staff.)

**Hole 4 has set a new standard for "cool". it is a elevated tee box that drops off into a slight dog right shot. A++++

*No boring holes, all of the holes are fun, and with a good mix of distances for the am player like myself.

*Although the course has wooded holes, they are nicely groomed with great upkeep.

Cons:

*Wildlife could possible be a problem for younger kids, bring bugspray and wear boots.

*Although I found this course fun and challenging, better skilled players might find the course too easy. There are some very short holes.

Other Thoughts:

*$5 dollars to pay, or buy something from the store that equals that value. Very friendly staff, very well maintained course with great holes and easy naviagation. This is one of my favorites courses. I just wish it were closer to me. My weakness is my control of my drive, and this course gave me a real challenge.
***a must play in my opinion!

another charleston area gem 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 5, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good utilization of the land.
Good balance of Right vs. Left
Short holes that can go badly
Good mix of Wooded vs. Open
Elevation in the low country..yes
Good signage
Nice facility in general....the pay 5 but spend it in the store is great concept
Nice new baskets
I can deal with the teepads....maybe just take a little getting used to.
Even though there are tight fairways there are lines
Thinking mans course
The field by 18 is a nice warm up zone
Well maintained
Funfactor is high

Cons:

No true par 4s
Wish it was closer to me

Other Thoughts:

Very impressive new course that will only get better over time.
I would suggest cleaning up more underbrush as the woods are penal enough
This might also knock down some of the bugs.
Must play for the charleston area

Good Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Tight Fairways
-Challenging pin placements
-Couple of blind shots that require a lot of thought
-Several signature holes. 2 Teeing off from a large hill with a beautiful sun deck.
-Mid-range-ish, longest hole is about 350 but most are tight fairways or tight pin placements so it is still a challenge to shoot well
-Easy to shoot a morning round, then hit the beach for the day

Cons:

-Summer can be a nightmare with lots of bugs. Some of the woods are pretty thick and getting to discs through spiders and such is not always easy.
-Never been a problem for me as I try to avoid times where events are happening but a couple of holes can get blocked off if there is one.
-Its a good distance away from any of the other courses in town (although it is probably still worth it)

Other Thoughts:

Newer course that is very well maintained. Bug spray during the summer is almost always required.

It is a pay to play course, but the Outpost sells food and drinks as well as all kinds of other stuff, so if you spend the $5 in the shop, playing is free, I generally just buy my Gatorades there and that covers it.

There is a lot of shade, so it isn't a hot as some of the other courses in town.

I personally really like the tight fairways on shorter holes approach to course building, I don't have a huge arm (max around 300ft) so being able to throw mids and work on control and accuracy is a big change from the other courses in town, especially Trophy Lakes

nice new course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

this is a new gem close to home. Challenging pin placement makes this course a must play if you are in the Charleston area. Management is committed to building up this course to be a premier destination. Lots of tight holes. woods to open, open to woods, blind baskets, 2 elevated tee boxes (1 of which is a huge wooden deck with benches) and 2 elevated baskets adds to the excitement. The staff is fun and friendly with the sewee outpost serving as the clubhouse. They have innova discatcher baskets that are brand new. If you have never played disc golf they will even let you throw some of their loaner discs for free! (never see this) Nice signage that is easy to follow.

Cons:

No course is perfect so there has to be some cons. After a few days of rain some holes have a bit of standing water. They are working on putting up some walkboards to take care of the issue. Bugs can get thick in the summer but , hey bugs are everywhere in the lowcountry. so bring some spray and you will be just fine. Barn jams on Wednesday and from 5 pm on 17 and 18 can get blocked so play them first then back up to 1. It is very cool when the music starts and you can hear good tunes and vibes coming through the woods while you throw your plastic. Management of both the music venue and the disc golf course are working together for a permanent solution to the parking situation, and I see then coexisting happily in the near future.

Other Thoughts:

This is a new course in its infancy and I see nothing but good things ahead as they streamline the process. There is a 5 dollar all day fee but when you buy snacks at the Outpost that takes care of your fee as well. Not a bad deal as most of us get a snack and a drink before we play anyway.

Excited about Sewee 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- The location off of Hwy 17 is fantastic.
- Plenty of amenities onsite at the Sewee Outpost.
- Good variation of holes throughout the course.
- Beginner and advanced player friendly.

Cons:

- Only con I can think of is that you need to plan around events scheduled at the Sewee Outpost. Sometimes I recommend starting with Hole 1, 17, and 18 then go to hole 2 to play course to avoid any conflict with events and parked cars and such. (i,e. wednesday night Barn Jams)

Other Thoughts:

- I am beyond excited about this course. I am a regular attendee at the weekly Awendaw Green Barn Jams which are a lot of fun. They just got funner as you can play a round while chilling out to some great music. The people at the Sewee outpost are incredibly nice and fun. Check out the Sewee Restaurant across the street( possibly the best seafood restaurant I have been to in SC). Part of me wishes there were a few more long holes, there is only one par 4, but needless to say the course was challenging. I scored right around Par. They did a great job with the layout of the course and the sequencing of the holes. Instant favorite
