Reviews
A great course in excellent condition. The back 9 is stunning. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group. A top notch staff and one of the best public courses in the Charleston area.
I love this golf course! Awesome layout with picturesque views. Especially when you get to the back 9. The condition of the course is superb, with true greens and plush fairways! The staff is very friendly and accomodating. There was a possibility of rain so the starter asked if I wanted to start on the back 9 to have a chance of finishing 18 holes. I took him up on his offer and was able to complete my round. Be sure to stop by the restaurant where the service is fantastic and just as friendly.
Course was in great condition. Wonderful views. Greens and fairways were well maintained and consistent.
The Links at Stono Ferry is one of the top courses in Charleston. The course is always immaculately maintained, the staff are friendly, and the course layout is amazing. This course is challenging, with a mix of tees to play from, including several combo tees (gold/black, for example). Many of the greens are closely guarded by bunkers, and even once you’re on the putting surface, you’re in for a treat! The greens are always lightning quick. The back nine holes have amazing views of the Stono River, as well as several historical markers that I find interesting. The back nine will test your iron play - one of the trickier Par 3’s (I think it’s hole 12) is a peninsula tee, where you’re hitting over marsh to a highly protected, uniquely shaped green.
After reading positive reviews we booked a round at Stono Ferry. Granted they are in a drought so grass is thin and sparce. Pace was pretty good as we finished in under 4 hours. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our round but $140 was too high a price for this track as we paid less at the other 3 courses we played in Hilton Head that were similar or nicer.
