Course always in great condition. Usually see a deer, sometimes beavers, beautiful lake views in a beautiful park setting.
What a beautiful State Park! Wonderful wildlife! We rented a cute cabin there in the park...my kind of camping! It was freezing outside but warm on the inside and we had the best time playing Bird Bingo which came with the cabin rental. Great family time with the kids and comfy pull outs! Visit the Hardware store in Cheraw to meet some great town folk who love to share the fascinating history of Cheraw including Revolutionary War, Civil War, and Slave Market history. Home of jazz great Dizzy Gilespie too! Run, don't walk....better yet HIKE In Cheraw State Park with your kids and spouse!
Me and coworkers went for a walk. It was quiet and well kept. It made me feel like I was on the set of a movie because I am not use to the country scenary. We did not engage in any park activities but we did notice a nice golf course, campground site and a huge lake with a diving platform.
Cheraw is a one of kind golf course. Cut into a pine forest with wide fairways and beautiful lakes. The greens had problems last year 2013 but this year things were much better. Love to play this course because it is challenging and a lot of fun. It is truly a one of a kind golf course. I have been playing it for the past twenty years and enjoy it every year.
Stopped to play this course with a group of guys. The course is a beautiful track cut out of a state forest. The price is a bargain at $20. The greens are in need of help but it is still s fun time.
If you like golf and scenery you must play Cheraw State Park if in the area. The course is in a state park, no homes, plenty of wildlife and scenery. The management could not be more friendly. We play this every time we are in the area.
Stayed in cabin #2 this spring and it was a real nice stay for our family. Kayaked on the lake on early Saturday morning and rode bicycles on paved roads. Cabins aren't cheap and they are basic but they are a good choice for families with kids.
The turkey oak trail was in terrible condition, mostly rutted 2 track for maintenance vehicles that was barely walkable and in a location that appears to be a token after thought.The half mile boardwalk along Lake Juniper is nice and a trail around the lake would be much more desirable.The lake is beautiful. Most of the resources and effort are put into the golf course.
My wife and I recently enjoyed a wonderful weekend camping at Cheraw State Park. The campground itself is very small (which is an added bonus). All sites have electric and water hookup. The bathhouse was spotless and offered a very nice hot shower and restroom. A special little touch that I really enjoyed was that there was a porch swing type swing right next to our campsite which I particularly enjoyed in the evening. The campground was was very clean and really quiet and peaceful. Across the lake from the campground is the day use area. The swimming beach was very clean and offered a relaxing way to enjoy a hot summer day. The picnic area was well maintained with several shelters and more of the porch swing to enjoy.We stopped by the ranger station to check in. The park rangers were really friendly and helpful. Not only did they give us several great suggestions of things to do they also loaned us fishing equipment free of charge. We didn't golf so I don't have first hand knowledge of the course, but I will say that from what I saw it was very well maintained and exceptionally pretty. An incredible value considering camping only cost $18 a night with full hookups.
Not a golfer, but this state park is awesome! Beautiful lake, which you can rent canoes or kayaks for. Also a very nice camp ground and cute cabins you can also stay in. Since we are local, we go here often for picnics. The new park ranger just put alot into new play ground equipment for the kids. Also many trails and hikes you can take. A nice board walk around the lake on one of the trails. One of the many things Cheraw can be proud of!
