Charleston National Golf Club — Local services in Mount Pleasant

I drive passed Charleston National during the work week in order to get to my job. This morning a negligent golfer pelted my car with a golf ball, leaving a dent in the passenger door of the driver side. I immediately turned around to try and identify the exact golfer. Only one gentlemen offered to help me and he went to speak to the party that I believe was responsible. No one took accountability or seemed to care though I’m sure they would care if it was their vehicle. I then proceeded to the main office where no one took me seriously. I wasn’t met with any semblance of care or regard for my vehicle as an innocent person on their way to work, which I was also late to work as a result of something that was not my fault.

Since then, I have filed a police report and I will be escalating this as I do not think I should be liable for what could be a few hundred dollars if not more to fix my car.

It’s a shame that hard working people, who don’t have the luxury to golf on a Friday, have to take the brunt for irresponsible individuals who clearly have zero morals or regard for others.

I would not recommend this business based on how I was treated. I judge people based on how they can treat people who can do nothing for them and the team I was exposed to at Charleston National demonstrated they only care about the people who pay to play. It’s wrong, apathetic...

Let me begin by saying I’m a 73 year old male with cardiomyopathy & severe arthritis. I hadn’t played golf in years because of my health. I wanted to try & see if I could still enjoy the game. A friend of mine & I were going to play Charleston National and when he scheduled our tee time he explained my situation and ask if we could play as a twosome so we didn’t backup play. When I arrived at the club house I found that the course only has one handicap parking spot. There were cars parked everywhere with no parking spaces available. I ask the attendant if they had other handicap spots & was told no. I explained my situation & he was nice enough to follow in a golf cart to a place I could park which was across the road. When paying to play I explained my situation & was told that I could play but to stay 30 yards from greens which was fine. I mentioned about only having one handicap spot & was told by who I believe to be the assistant pro that the city of Mt Pleasant said that’s all they need. I ask him if Charleston National abided by the “ADA” standards and he said no which shocked me. I won’t go back and warn handicap people that would love to try to get back out on a course to be aware of my experience when it comes to Charleston National or other courses. There are “ADA” standards & the PGA adopted standards back in 2000 for the...

So disappointing. Apparently a tee time here is more of a lottery ticket that MIGHT allow you to play golf.

Had a 10:40 am tee time booked 2 weeks in advance. Show up to see 20+ people waiting on the first tee.

Asked the pro shop if this was normal and the guy said they had a frost delay. Ok… but why are there at least 7 groups waiting? Shouldn’t everyone just be pushed back with the same separation?

I asked what he expected the pace of play to be and was told “maybe 5 or 5:15… this is a tough course.” Absurd.

Being a “tough course” isn’t code for “we sell way too many tee times.”

Was told, “maybe try a weekday instead.” WOW.

To his credit, the kid working the counter was nice about it and gave me a few free range tokens.

But it’s quite clear this place doesn’t have to care about the experience. Too many people in Charleston + not nearly enough public golf means they’re the drug dealer of tee times, and they can control the supply however they want.

If the course is selling even 5 more tee times a day than they really should be, that’s potentially an extra $2,000 in revenue so let the public deal with the fallout either way I guess.

Reluctant to give a 1-star review, but what else can you do when you’ve got a tee time and show up to see the course is...
