Do not play — carts back by 7:30pm during twilight, ranger follows.

I like this course. It’s great and Challenging however the last two times it has been a very miserable experience. I will never play here again.

1. Staff is rude and flat out mean to everyone.. it’s honestly laughable how rude they are.
2. The carts must be returned by 7:30pm during twilight, they sell you $50 and you only get in 10 holes.
3. The ranger follows you and tells you to play quicker even if you are being held up by someone in front of you.

Do not play here.

Mostly good

Found the course fun and challenging to play and enjoyed my round. Hardly anyone out there because it was about 95 degrees, but the grounds crew do a remarkable job. One of the better maintained courses I feel like I’ve seen this summer despite all the heat and rain. Clubhouse was a little weird. Masks are still required - wasn’t notified of this before arriving and I’ve been vaxed and just didn’t have a mask on me at the time. I pulled my shirt up over over my face to comply, but when I returned a couple mins later to use the restroom doing the same thing I was greeted with “you’re not even supposed to be in here without a mask”. Also no starter which isn’t fun anywhere when it’s your first time playing a course. Didn’t want to return to the clubhouse to see if there even were any amenities. Also appeared that the range was closed?

Very nice course and they permit their golf carts in the parking lot. Left after playing 13 holes due to very slow pace and gridlock. My first time there so not sure if that is normal

Nice track - in reasonably good condition

Played in November and the course was in reasonably good shape considering the time of year. Green were also in nice condition. Pretty good experience

Challenging course! Great Value (with a later start time)

This was my second time playing this course and similar to the first time it was very challenging. Compared to other courses I've added 10 strokes both when playing Darlington.

The only complaint I had was they brought us in early at 4:15 PM and that we had to have carts back by 4:30 PM. We could have completed another two or three holes had we've been able to play until 5:00 PM.

The starter was quite friendly and the putting area was convenient to the first hole. No chipping allowed by the putting green so keep that in mind.

As for the course layout there are several blind holes so make sure to do your research before you scheduled to play here.

Booking it with golfnow.com was a huge savings as I only paid $27 with cart however we only got in 14 holes.

So the question is would I play at Darlington again? For $27 I would for sure. Next time I would probably walk to get an extra couple holes and get more exercise.

Great round

7:10 tee time with just 2 of us and group ahead (3) moving quickly. Round completed in 3 hours. Course is in great shape. Haven’t played there in 5+ years and commend the staff for keeping in good condition.
