Pros:
The course has a lot of variety with tight trees, open fields, starting on a hill, and ending on hills. The baskets, trails, and tees are in very good shape. Having the outpost next to the course is very nice as it has food, bathroom, and a place to get out of the weather when needed.
Cons:
A few of the directional signs need to be replaced as some are broken or missing, but other than that the course was great.
Other Thoughts:
Overall I had a great time at this course and I am already planning return trips. I recommend this course to anyone who is in the area.

Pros:
- Sewee Outpost is an awesome general store that sells anything you need to have a good time outdoors. Your $5 green fee can be applied with anything you get in the store. So get your Powerade, Water, Adult Beverage or home made sandwiches you would normally get before a round in the store and you're covered!
- Nice selection of Innova discs in the store for purchase as well. Priced under anywhere else in the Charleston area.
- 18 Disc Catcher baskets are in great shape.
- Very well designed course. Given the amount of property this course sits on, they definitely made the most of it. It wouldn't have been possible to put any long holes out here and keep it an 18 hole course. So they made what can be a punishing short course if you aren't hitting your lines.
- Rubber mats provided by Innova are in good shape and are cared for periodically by the staff of Sewee Outpost to keep them level.
- There are a lot of "touch" shots out there. Short dog leg shots that will require you to throw the most overstable midrange you have at the right angle at 47.2% power or you'll miss the fairway.
- Because the course is pretty short, it's great for beginners. Because the lines are demanding I feel it's a great course for more experienced players to work on their short game and getting out of trouble shots. Great versatility.
- Every Wednesday night there is a Barn Jam on the premises. You're treated to a great evening of Disc Golf with live music echoing through the woods as you're playing. Since it's private property, you're free to enjoy your adult beverages responsibly during your rounds.
- Any problems with the course are always addressed by the owner of the property who also enjoys playing disc golf. Will touch on this later in the review.
- There are benches and trash cans that are emptied regularly on ever hole.
- If you go to the nearby Mellow Mushroom after your round with your wristband on you get a 1 topping personal pizza for just $5.00!

Cons:
- Tee signs which were beautifully handmade by a local golfer have started to feel the pain of getting slammed by discs. Some of them are split in half or not readable anymore.
- I've noticed during the winter months, when the trees are drinking up much of the water, there is standing water on a few of the holes ( 6 and 10)
- It can get very buggy during the summer months. But that's going to be most courses in the Low Country.
- Rubber mats as tee pads aren't for everyone. I personally see nothing wrong with the ones at Sewee Outpost.
- It only happens a few times a year. But now and again there are events on the property that can shut down certain holes on the course. They always post on their Facebook page when this happens, and as I said before it's not often.

Other Thoughts:
I love Sewee Outpost. The staff is very friendly and I love seeing so many of the local golfers chipping in their own time to make this a better course. There are a lot of people that take pride in this gem on the outskirts of Charleston.
As previously mentioned, There can be standing water on a couple of the holes out there. As a result one of the local care takers of the course provided a deck and built a boarded walkway to help you get over the wet stuff when standing water is there.
I consider this to be the 2nd best course in the Charleston area behind Trophy Lakes. You just can't beat the atmosphere here. I have spent the ENTIRE day here before (8 rounds to be exact) and had everything I needed on premises. I grabbed a Gatorade and homemade country ham breakfast sandwiches in the morning. Played a couple rounds, used their clean restroom and got a chicken salad sandwich for lunch from the deli area. Sat outside on their porch swing and ate lunch before heading out to play some more rounds. With the store being only a couple hundred feet from hole 1's tee pad and hole 18's basket, anything you need to refresh is right there. Awesome!
