Where is everybody? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Fantastic signage - if you get lost here it's your own fault. Several porta potties. Very clean, well maintained park.

Cons:

If I HAVE to put something, it's the walk between #1 and #2. My first time here, I thought that was a really bad sign, but none other are like that. You just have to get away from the dog park.

Other Thoughts:

First time here today, started at 7am and there wasn't anyone else playing. That combined with the long walk between #1 and #2, and I took those two things as a bad sign of things to come. But man was I wrong. I love this course! So much so, I played three rounds back to back to back. There are red and blue tee boxes with large, concrete tee pads (#10 has one tee box), terrific signs, two baskets per hole (except 11 - more on that later), and very short tee box markers that are a little tricky to find if you're using those. One through nine is pretty open, with a tree patch here and there. Number 10 takes you into the woods, number 11 is a death tee shot. DO NOT OVERTHROW THIS HOLE! - unless you have your repelling gear. It's very easy to, it's short and downhill. There is a serious empty creek downhill past the basket and it is tricky to retrieve (as me how I know). #17 will really make you sweat with your approach. #18 should only be one basket. The short is trickier than the long for some reason, because it's much closer to the pond.

Wow! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Very well maintained
-Great tee pads
-Great disc catcher baskets (two on most holes)
-Great man made course accents
-Informative club/course map and bulletin board
-4 unique course layouts depending on the pad/pin combination that you play

Cons:

It's reaching to come up with a con...but I guess some of the walks from tee to tee were long. Not bad though compared to a lot of courses out there.

Other Thoughts:

I was super impressed with the time and money I saw invested in this course. I was visiting from out of town and only had a putter to play with so I played the short/short combination which was still fun. I was eyeing the Long Long course layout as I played and I was drooling over the chance to come back and play it. Looks challenging! Can't wait to make the drive up from Charleston to play a tournament here!

What a course should be 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

The short course is fun and challenging. The long course is tough for advanced & should challenge pros. Good mix of open & wooded holes. Multiple pin placements, Uphill & downhill shots. Water plays on several holes. The amenities for this course are professionally done, Full Sized concrete tees, professional tee signs on long & short tees. well built benches & bridges, trash cans through the course. A few wooded holes that tee is on a slope the tees were built and leveled very nicely.

Cons:

The only con was it rained heavily the night before and there were some boggy wet fairway spots. But it was not a big deal.

Other Thoughts:

I realize some will scoff at my 5 star rating. But from a regular player's perspective this is the kind of course you will enjoy playing. This course is a great example what can be possible when you get full participation from county parks & rec. Turkey Hill is the most professionally built course I have played. It was well thought out and you can easily see there was a lot of time, work & materials put in to the building of this course.
Usually new courses need a "Breaking In" period to get trails and walkway worn in but this course was ready to go.
