This is a great course, always in immaculate shape, and an interesting layout. For a state park course, a trip to Cheraw to play here is well worth the effort.

Was very excited about playing Cheraw State Park, because as you pull into the parking lot, the course looks spectacular. The fairways were in great shape for February, but the bunkers and greens needed some help. Bunkers were very inconsistent and the greens had some rough spots. Pace of play seemed to be the biggest issue. It took over 5 hours on a tuesday. No rangers so the pace was terrible. We were waiting on tee-box with another group for half the holes. Par 4 holes on the front nine all seemed very similiar. 380 to 410 (from back tees) with bunker up the left side, got very dull. The par threes on the other hand were great, all different lengths and each going in different directions. 495 yard par 4 on the back nine that was as hard as any par 4 in the Southeast US. Great hole! Once again pace of play was big issue. Very good golf course for 18 dollars. Drove 1 1/2 hours to play. Wouldnt drive that far again just to play, but would play if I was in the area.

Great Greens. Immaculate fairways. A beautiful setting.

None come to mind..

My mother and grandmother currently reside in cheraw which gives me the opportunity to play the course throughout the year.I must admit, through all of my play at the more famous courses in South Carolina, none compare to the quality of this course. The course is never crowded, and stays in top condition ten months out of the year. Add in the 30 dollars spent to play, and there is no better value anywhere. Definitely a diamond in the rough!!!

Customer Service

Excellent..

The layout is a challenge, and every hole is memorable. The last 6 holes are a true and difficult challenge. YThe cost is great, the facilities are beautiful, and the staff is friendly.

No weaknesses.

By far the best course for your buck in SC. Our group plays it every year on our way to Myrtle Beach to play , and it it still as good or better than the high dollar courses in Myrtle Beach.

Customer Service

Excellent

Requires a golfer to think about his shot and grip and rip.

Greens could be in better condition and cut faster.

I've played this course four times now and plan to play it three more times this summer. I do a South Carolina golf vacation each year and this course is one I select. It is as nice a most private courses I play and much better than most those open to the public. This course will test you, but is fair.

Customer Service

GREAT

Scenery is beautiful and some very good golf holes.

Greens too slow.

I was told about this course 1-1/2 years ago and when I visited the area, I had to try it out. I must say I was not disappointed. Cheraw State Park course is one of the prettiest layouts that I've ever played. The greens were very slow, but after 3 or 4 holes I got used to them. I will definitely get back to play this one.

Customer Service

Good to excellent.

Open enough for the beginner to enjoy their round but challenging enough for the better golfer not to be able to just stroll through the park. Uses all the clubs and shots in the bag.

Becoming a popular stop for the 'snowbirds' and very hard to get on without a 5 hour round in the spring of the year.

Course has been 1 of my favorites in the area for a while now. The conditions are usually above average and the course and staff rarely let me down. I have brought people from out of state and they can't believe the condition of the course for a state park. I wish they could have kept the bent greens because they tend to play better as long as folks are doing thier jobs with the ball marks. The bermuda greens are usually in good shape but do tend to get a little hard in the middle of summer. Overall, the course makes you play all your shots and rewards you for a well played gamble. Worth every bit of money that is payed in the green fees and can hold it's own against a lot of the more expensive and 'Factory' golf courses at Myrtle Beach. Tom Jackson did an excellent job with the land he had and kept a lot of the natural surroundings undisturbed.

Excellent practicing facilities.

Price!
Hole #13! This is one of the best holes I've ever played. I think it used to be a par 5 and they shortened it a little. From the middle tees it's 430 yds with a sharp dogleg left around trees. At the dogleg (~200 yds) this hole drops dramatically downhill to a lake, which protects an island green. If you don't work the ball from right to left and catch the hill you're in trouble. The birdie I made on this hole is one of my great golf memories.
This is also one of the most scenic courses you'll play. It's carved through the hills and woods around a couple of lakes. You won't forget the walk from 13 to 14 very quickly!

Well, it is tough to find, but if that keeps a tee time open for me, so be it.

I'm torn. I don't want this course to get crowded so I should say it sucks. However, since I believe that honesty is the best policy..... this is one of my favorite courses in America! I've lived all over and played golf at many of the big "name" courses, and I'd be delighted to play this course everyday. The fact that it's only $15 to walk 18 holes just makes it that much better. I wish that every state park official could visit here and try to match this facility in their home states! Thank you, South Carolina!

Beautiful clubhouse.

Cheap!!!! And the course is challanging and in excellent shape. Other amenities make for a great family outing (camping, biking, picnicing, and other outdoor activities)

Cannot walk this course. Greens to tees distance is far (some over 100 yards). The location of this course is in the middle of nowhere.

GREAT COURSE!!!! In the middle of nowhere, though, but well worth the drive to get there. It is apparant that the state of SC takes great pride in their state parks.
