A good course in good condition. Has some fun and interesting holes. A nice example of how a course doesn't need to be real long to be challenging. I agree there are too many houses.
There is a hole on the back that seems ridiculous though. It is about 320 yards with a tiny elevated green, surrounded by marsh about 200 degrees. Its not really possible to drive since the green is elevated and tiny, so it becomes a 5 iron wedge sort of hole, which is just sort of strange. Its like they just couldn't figure out what to do with the space - I can imagine a lot of better ways they could have done it.
But all in all it is a good course worth playing.

I am a fan of Hills' designs, but Coosaw was a little wimpy, with overly generous fairways and, for the most part, pretty safe approaches to the greens. I preferred Charleston National in Mt. Pleasant, a Rees Jones design which was in fine shape but under bizarre management. They ran out of score cards and gave us "old" ones, with the nines reversed. Rivertowne, also in Mt. Pleasant, is a nice track but pricier.
