Practice Area: Driving range with grass tees, putting green, chipping green and
Description: This is an older course, originally built in 1948 to service the mill workers. It has a nice clubhouse and friendly membership plans. The course has a more classic layout than today's tracks and is very walkable. The front 9 holes were designed by Donald Ross, with George Cobb finishing the course's last 9 holes.
B-Man's Take: I've only played here once (Feb '06). I liked the layout and felt it was course that would shine during season. The greens seem to be well-kept and cut to be fast. Beware, however, almost every green is sloped, which means there can be some diabolical pin placements that lead to US Open-laughable putts that can roll 20 or 30 feet past the hole or back to your feet (if you're going uphill). When I played, there were 5 or 6 holes where the ball would not stop anywhere within 10 feet of the hole unless it went in. Seriously.

- 3/1/10 - Update from Russell: In between the rain, snow and freezing temperatures I was able to play 2/22 at Fort Mill. It is my first trip back since they re-did the greens and they are interesting. Approaches rarely leave a ball mark and when you do repair them it feels like steel wool. They are pretty uniform and roll pretty consistently but I am not sure that they hold approaches as well as they did before. The rest of the course was in decent early spring condition. All of the recent rain left a lot of debris on the course but nothing too bad. Tee boxes were pretty chewed up but the sand traps were nice compared to other local courses. Not too excited that they have increased the rates with the new greens. It used to be a bargain but now it is in line with their sister course Springfield - a better overall course in my opinion.
- 5/2/09 - Course in great shape. I really like playing here and wished I lived closer. It's a great old-style members course, with the next tee always right next to the previous green. One of... (more)
