Carter Plantation

The young guys in the pro shop double booked us with a tournament and did not care. We booked the first two tee times of the day for my bachelor trip a few weeks ahead and when we arrived at the course they were setting up for a tournament so we could not play. Two young boys in the pro shop did not seem to care or know what was going on. Horrible management.

Do not, and I repeat, do not have your wedding here unless they address the issue with Lauren, the wedding coordinator. She was intoxicated throughout my entire wedding day and had no idea what was going on. At one point, she yelled at both me and my mother. She disappeared for hours and didn’t reappear until five minutes before the ceremony. She repeatedly vaped around me and our guests and openly bragged about being able to drink while working. When my uncle questioned her drinking, her response was, “I can do what I want.” It was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. Her appearance was also inappropriate for a wedding coordinator—leggings, a polo shirt, and a messy bun. She even offered to drive us in a golf cart and nearly crashed it. The entire experience was stressful and disappointing. To make matters worse, after all of this, she asked where her tip was. This behavior is completely unacceptable for someone responsible for coordinating one of the most important days of a couple’s life.

The golf course was great! The only down side was the pace of play if the marshals could speed that up I would gladly go back.

Carter Plantation is a great golf course. Close enough to get to and far enough away to nit be on a packed course sending out 5-some after 5-some after 5-some (hello Santa Maria!!). Played 2 balls as a single and still finished in 3 1/2 hours. Nobody in front of me and nobody pushing. Course was in great shape for early season. Greens were in great shape and fast. Will be adding this to the rotation and likely using it to replace a different course that is home to the homer starter that sends off 5-somes (goodbye Santa Maria!!).

We had both our wedding rehearsal dinner and reception here, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful. The food was great and everything ran so smoothly. Lauren and her team did a PHENOMENAL job from start to finish. Lauren was incredibly accommodating, calm, and open to new ideas which made the planning process so much less stressful. This is especially impressive knowing how insanely busy she and her team is, not only with weddings but with other events like golf tournaments. She truly made us feel like a priority! We also stayed at the Carter Villas, and Ms. Lynette was amazing as well! She was very responsive and the rooms were tidy, clean and comfortable. We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this venue for any special event!
