My first time back at Edgewater in a couple of years. It is quite a haul from my neck of the woods, tucked away about an hour’s drive down in Lancaster, SC. We got a $30 twilight rate (starts everyday after 2pm) and played in a crisp 3.5 hours as a twosome. Overall great conditions. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in good shape. The bentgrass greens are doing very well in the summer heat. They rolled really true with good speed. No issues at all. The layout is still a great mix of holes – doglegs right and left, downhill and uphill holes, nearly driveable par 4’s and a couple of reachable par 5’s. This continues to be a favorite of mine (only a little bias since I shot my career best score there a few years ago). The only thing I could nitpick is the bunkers. The sand in most of them is very thick and there seems to be no bottom – I could almost dig my heels in a foot deep. So they were tough to get used to. Still, with the cheap rate, the sparse play, the nice staff and — big kudos here — ice coolers full of complimentary water bottles about every 4 holes, this course is worth the drive. I’ve got to make more trips to play here.
