Charwood Golf Club

Not terrible, but not going back anytime soon. Vaping is allowed right in the clubhouse. Range won’t let you hit long clubs. Pay your green fees, then get charged again for range balls that used to be free. A bunch of the greens are rough as hell. Member walked up while I was checking out and started yapping with the employee. Took forever. Wait your turn. Fine if you’re desperate. Not a place I’ll choose.

Charwood is a unique course. There's a lot of sand, making it a lot different from most of the courses I've played. The course is lined with residential houses, which, combined with the sand, makes it one of the least aesthetically pleasing golf courses I've seen. There's also a couple of holes that look like they were added at the last minute and are not very well-designed. The worst thing about Charwood however, is that the members are very entitled. Two out of the three (2/3) times I've played there, members have just jumped on a tee right before my tee time, causing an obvious delay. I understand that members are the bread and butter of any golf course, but I do wish the staff would get a handle on this. I will say that the staff is very kind and helpful however. The best thing about Charwood is that it's not very expensive, and they have a great twilight rate. In addition, it's a pretty laid-back course, so it's good for people like myself who aren't very good. All-in-all, I'd say that Charwood is ok, but not the greatest golf course in Columbia.

Visiting Columbia planned on playing a bunch of different courses. Played here and ended up just playing here everyday. Great value, extremely friendly employees. Course is in great condition, challenging, greens rolled true a little firm for me personally but id imagine when the temp isn't 100° it would be softer and more receptive. This is definitely my go to when I'm visiting the Columbia area.

Great night out in the driving range. Range had been freshly maintained when I arrived this evening. The staff did a great job with keeping the club house neat and well kept. I saw them diligently cleaning bathrooms and taking out trash to ensure throughout the day things were fresh and ready. Pro shop staffers Mason and Coleman were very attentive and personal while in the shop and out on the driving range. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience tonight

Nice course with a really good layout. Not a lot of water hazards and the fairways were in good condition. The greens were in pretty rough shape but they acknowledged this when we were checking in (and one of the greens had been vandalized but they were working to fix it). All in all a really nice place to play
