Overall the course was in really good condition for it being the middle of February. Despite it being extremely wet when I played it was still a good overall experience. The course plays short overall.

First time

I appreciate the course staff and some of the layout. But we had a 56 yard par 3. Ridiculous then followed by a 250 yard par 4.

Always a pleasure to play there

Dogwood has a great staff, good course and great location. Even the clientele is very friendly. I’d recommend this course to anyone.
If you need a lesson, talk to Mike or the staff. Worth the money!

Nice course

Nice course in good shape.Greens are in good condition after aeration a few weeks ago and fairways and tee boxes are in good shape.No need for driver on all the par fours and good variation of distance on the par 3’s
played Tuesday afternoon and Pace of play was good as I finished in under 3 hours.Main grip would be that there are very few markers on the fairways which makes it hard to determine yardage to the greens.
Other than that this place is well worth your time to play and I would recommend it for anyone in the area

Can't go wrong for the money

One of the best public courses available. Pace of play was a little slow today and the fairways could use some attention but always fun to play there.

Evaluation of course & play.

The layout of the course was good & we enjoyed playing it. The greens were a little fast & The cost was a bit more than what we are accustomed to paying in SC. However, at our age we can’t expect a lot more & we would go back & play it again when we are in the area.

Unpleasant Surprise

I made a reservation online. I wanted to use the VSGA VIP card for the round, but found out that the card rate is honored only if you call or visit the club to make your reservation. The course was backed up so it took over four and a half hours to finish eighteen holes, which is not the club's fault but still made for a less than pleasurable experience.
