Spring Lake Country Club

The course looks great and the greens are smooth. I’ve been a member for 1.5 years and haven’t been able to drive a cart off the cart path on holes 1-3 the entire time. #1 is a par 5 which isn’t terrible for pace but cart path only causes a large pileup at the long par 3 second hole and cart path only dogleg left that follows. Lots of work has gone into Improvements of infrastructure around the course and it shows. Makes things more convenient and comfortable for players. Tee boxes are in the process of being revamped. Some are further along than others but seeing the new box locations have me excited for the future of level tee boxes on ALL holes. Some holes have great tee boxes but the tee markers are not on the level surface, they are 10 feet off them on uneven surfaces. Confusing to say the least. Driving range is alright. there’s markers but no signage that tells how far they are. The range balls are between 2 and 12 years old, some cut, some worn smooth from years of use. I think mats and a decent set of range balls would make a difference. (Just enforce a fine if someone is caught playing with them on the course.) Recent upgrades to carts like gps units that give yardages as well as geofencing make things nicer. Look forward to one day being allowed to drive a cart on 1 & 3.

Have done a lot of work on the course and green are in good shape now. Fairways non existent. The real problem is the 6 hour pase that seem to be consistent no matter when you play. Lack of professionalism...tee times too tight (8 min.) allowed members to cut in without a tee time even though they were already 30 minutes delayed. 30 mins to play hole 1. 30 min wait on 2nd tee. Pin placement on crest of hill on every green ment 15 min for a group to putt out minimum. Then there were groups of 5 and 6 players holding things up. Again this has been my experience at least the last 5 time I've been over the last few years. I walked off after 6 and 3 hours gone. Couldn't see spending another 6 to finish after sunset for a 1044am tee time. Passed the ranger omw out...not a word as to why I was walking off the course just continued riding around not enforcing anything with any slow groups. They are only interested in collecting your money and could care less about course condition or pace of play. Will not be back. Don't waste your time. Also not worth the price. For 50 a round you should have some grass in the fairways. Just a mix of weeds and tee boxes still need a lot of work and grass.

Alright, buckle up, folks, because I’m about to take y’all on a wild ride through Spring Lake Country Club in York, South Carolina-where the grass is green, the golf balls fly, and the charm is as thick as Aunt Edna’s homemade apple pie! First off, this place is nestled in the rolling hills of Upstate South Carolina, just a hop, skip, and a jump (about 30 minutes) from Charlotte, NC. It’s like the perfect little hideout for city slickers who wanna trade skyscrapers for some good ol’ Bermuda grass and rye fairways[1][2]. Now, don’t let the mostly flat terrain fool ya-there’s a sneaky hill or two that’ll have you wondering if you accidentally signed up for mountain golf. Uneven lies? Oh, you betcha![2] The course itself is a classic 18-hole, par 72 setup stretching nearly 6,748 yards from the back tees. It’s got that vintage vibe, designed back in 1959, so expect some quirky green designs with slopes and humps that’ll make your putter feel like it’s on a rollercoaster[4]. Some folks call it “terrible green designs,” but hey, I call it character! And the greens? They’re quick, bump-free, and in pretty darn good shape, especially if you’re swinging by mid-summer or even December-yeah, they keep it nice year-round[4]. Staff here? Friendlier than a golden retriever at a barbecue. They’re ready to help with everything from tee times to special events, making sure your day is smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy[1][4]. Plus, if you’re looking to up your game, Spring Lake’s got a driving range, chipping and putting areas, and PGA pros on hand to turn you into the next Tiger Woods-or at least help you stop slicing into the woods[6]. Now, fair warning: some fairways are narrow, so you better bring your A-game or risk a rendezvous with the rough. And if you’re hoping for lush fairways, well, some say there’s a bit of a lack of green grass there, but hey, that just adds to the challenge, right?[2][4] Spring Lake Country Club is like that quirky uncle who’s a little rough around the edges but full of heart and good times. Whether you’re there for a quick round, a special event, or a swim in the pool, you’re in for a genuine Southern golf experience with a side of good ol’ hospitality. So grab your clubs, put on your brightest polo, and get ready to tee off with a smile!

Just being with friends and family is all I need. But throwing a little golf in the equation makes it ten times better.

Amazing course at a great price. Can't wait to play here again.
