historic lay out, Jun 22, 2004

reviewer: Wesley from Augusta, Ga

This golf course dates to 1892. It is very old style and natural. Beautiful Par 3 s Some short par fours... some long par fours 3 par fives... two are reachable The entire club is old and understated and located off a small road in beautiful Aiken, S.C. The Club house was designed by Stanford White who did the clubhouse at Shinnecock Hills Visited by Ben Crenshaw regularly during Masters Golf Tournament. The club hosts The Palmetto Amateur in August of each year which is a prestigous regional event. Definitely a must play if you can get on.

I played there once in the Sothern Cross Tournament and the course was imaculate. I am hoping to do my summer intership there for Turf Management Program Summer of 2004.

Arroyo Seco Golf Course
"Pretty Good Par 3"
This is a good course to tune up your short irons. It's pretty well maintained (the tees are mats however). Most holes are about 130 yards or so with a pond coming into play on a couple holes. There are no sand traps, but there is a stream that runs through the course as well as many trees. It's a good course to play after work, with your family, or when you don't want to play a full golf course.

"WOW"
This is one of the best courses I have found in all my years. I have searched all over Massachusetts and this course offers the best of everything possible. Great upkeep, challenging holes, wonderful accommodations, and an unbeatable price are the key essentials this course offers. I highly recommend this and its brother Stow North course.
