“Coore/Crenshaw design in the South Carolina low country that encourages walking, The course features small, elevated, sloping greens that are its main defense against par. Staff and members were very welcoming. Definitely play here if offered the opportunity."

“A true second shot golf course...feels similar to playing a shorter/low-country Winged Foot or Pinehurst #2"

“Biggest feature on this course is back to front slope greens with several false front. Area in front of greens soft due to run off and therefore not best for ground game approach."

“Chechesee Creek is an excellent minimalist Coore-Crenshaw design located near Hilton Head SC. One of the more relaxing and natural courses I've seen, this course winds through the lowlands with an excellent layout. Relatively straightforward tee to green, Chechesee gets very difficult when you start missing these elevated greens and are left intimidating up-and-downs. This is also an excellent place to hang after golf with its own signature cocktail - the "Creek Tea."

“If you get a chance to play here jump on the opportunity. Make sure you get a caddie though because the greens are very small and very hard to read."
