Terrible experience, I booked a tee time online and it said my tee time was confirmed. But when we drove all the way to the course some guy in a cart pulled up in a cart and said we’re closed then left. No compensation, No sorry, nothing!!! Even worst when we were leaving the course we saw people PLAYING!!!??? Do not recommend playing here. I played here 1 time before in the winter and the course was in TERRIBLE shape. Literal ponds on the fairways when it hadn’t even rained!!!
The course layout is pretty nice, with many challenging holes. Unfortunately the conditions leave a lot to be desired. And the cart paths are terrible. They do have a nice clubhouse with many room options for large or small groups and parties.
I have had the pleasure of being a member of Houndslake Country Club for the last two months - I cannot recommend it more. From the friendly staff, to the amazing coaching from owner and PGA pro - Daniel, I have felt nothing but welcome. The course itself presents an interesting challenge, with some amazing feature holes like the Par 5 5th and 16th, and my favorite - the short Par 3 17th. The course continues to improve from week to week, and I know there is a continuous desire to make it better. If you are looking for a place to play in Aiken - go to Houndslake. You won't regret it.
First of all the course is in terrible shape. Reminds me of Indian Trail before it closed. The fairways are terrible, tee boxes feel like concrete, bunkers need major attention, drainage needs addressing. The greens were not terrible. Harnessed by the course Marshall a couple times for slow play, but weren’t holding up anyone. Made the turn and slow customer service was met with you guys need to get to it. Well if you hadn’t taken 15 minutes to ring up a couple drinks we would have been on our way. The price for a round of golf does not equate to the quality of the course. Will definitely not be back to this course.
Houndslake Country Club is absolutely beautiful. It has stunning views of lakes and mature trees, as well as incredibly manicured lawns. The golf course was challenging, but also appropriate for those who may be new to the game. The hills create a feeling of seclusion, but the location couldn't be more convenient. The golf carts are newer and very well maintained, and the price to play honestly feels like a steal. The water coolers at the tees were very clean, and the water was fresh and cold. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My husband and I are planning our next visit already!
