Testimonials
We played DCC on 8-19-25 and we had a blast. The greens were awesome and the staff was great!
Jonathan B.
The club is fantastic. Lots of great fun for all. Fourth of July festivities are family oriented and everyone there is great. The club has a new chef, the event coordinator does a fantastic job. The course is in great shape and if you like fast greens this is the place.
John B.
This course was so fun to play and probably the best in the Darlington area. Even though holes 14-17 were closed at the time it was still very fun and the course was in great shape. The people were very friendly and kind there and it was all in all a great place. Also a beautiful scenery around the pro shop too.

I loved it. Old school golf course that still has teeth. (Founded 99 yrs ago) Greens were fast, rough was thick and deep. I could play there every day if it was closer to home. Go check it out if you get the chance.

Debbie T.
This is a great course that keeps improving. The greens are master level difficulty with undulations and crowing that call for careful planning on each approach. If you end up with a downhill putt and blow it, you could eaisly be off the green again. There is a great mix of challenges here.

I play here pretty frequently and although I am not a member, I am treated as though I am one. Awesome staff, great food and nice conditions. Please remember to tip the desk attendant, I think a lot of folks forget that the customer service that you receive here is quite exceptional compared to other courses in the greater Florence area.

Went with an old St John's classmate class of 67 and played golf with our son's now in their 40s and we had a ball. Angela at the front desk was so gracious to all of us and the course was challenging and we'll kept. Met old friends on the course and enjoyed a wonderful day of golf. I would recommend the restaurant to all who visit Darlington food is great and some of the best prices in our beautiful little city. I give the club, staff and restaurant a superb rating.
