We came here for the Tree Love Vibes music festival and disc golf tournament. It was an absolute blast. The grounds are stunning. We watched giant turtles swim around as the sun set. The music was phenomenal. No one was put off by all of the thunderstorms that raged just hours before and threatened to return. There were porta potty's to use all over the grounds, most of them pretty clean. We enjoyed sitting on the dock as the moon rose and sleeping by the water in our truck. The cable park looks pretty janky, maybe not very well attended. There appears to be a fun floating inflatable/bouncy obstacle course, but no one was ever there to operate it. Highly recommend coming here for a swim, disc golf, and a picnic. read more

Trophy Lakes - Disc Golf Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

I spend 20 minutes at the gate trying to purchase a ticket and gain access to Trophy Lakes. Once I purchased the ticket - it wouldn't scan. The frustrating part in all this is they don't have a number to call so I can't find a solution. If you don't provide a solution to a problem, what's the point in gate automation? Hopefully they can get this fixed. read more

I purchased a deal for disc golf at Trophy Lakes ($12 for 4). Pretty awesome since it is regularly $6/pp. We arrived around 9:45 a.m. on a weekday and were the only people golfing. If you have never been, definitely start from the red markers. Meg T. suggested this and it made it a lot easier (though 4/5 of us still couldn't make par). We really enjoyed the course and can't wait to go back again. read more

this place would probably be great aside from the fact that I have only been here two times in my life and am a local, have lived on johns island 15 years and am from James island originally, and the guy who runs it has been very rude both times. He's very cold and aggressive acting, i brought my seven year old here and he made us both very uncomfortable and both times it just seemed like it was because he was in a very bad mood, no clear reasoning why. But anyways, just a warning for those thinking of visiting. Otherwise the place is pretty! read more

Trophy Lakes - water sports area - Disc Golf Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Would give 5 stars but they keep raising the price for just the use of the lake. Just to swim now costs $15/ person. Cheaper to park at the beach with a carload of people. read more

Ca-Ching! Trophy lakes is one of the best disc-golf courses I have every played. I know that some of the purists, feel that disc golf should be free, but the $6 fee at Trophy Lakes was entirely worth it. They had Red, White, and Blue tee boxes, with red being easiest and blue being hardest. We played white, and that was challenging enough. Beware the water hazards! Yes, I dropped more than one of my prized pieces of plastic in the lake. Fortunately, one disc was in reach and only cost me the penalty stroke. This is a combination water skiing and disc golf enterprise, and run by a really nice crew. Whether you are flying on the water or around it (hopefully!), you will have a great experience. They also have a thoroughly-stocked pro-shop with a wide variety of discs, and even offer golf lessons at reasonable prices. As usual for disc golf, there was a friendly group of players on the course when we were there. Why would anyone pay more than 10-times as much to hit a little white ball around in the blazing sun?? Instead, you can relax in the shade of trees while you pilot plastic around challenging obstacles and enjoy the musical reward of "cha-Ching" when you sink the putt!! read more

Trophy Lakes - Course map - Disc Golf Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Awesome course! Clean, well kept, good site lines, and 3 start pads. Lots of trees and around and over water. Camping and water sports too!

What a great venue! It's great for bands, oyster roasts, festivals, or just playing a round of disc golf or skiing. There are two twin lakes with most events occurring between them. There is plenty of space for vendors and a large stage for bands to perform. One of the lakes is set-up for "practice", while the other lake usually has "performers". They have a slalom course and the regulars can do so many tricks. It's amazing. There are plenty of big trees for shade, plus areas of sunshine if that is your preference. You can sit by the water's edge and get away from the hustle and bustle of an event, or sit right front and centre before the band on stage. They always bring in port-o-potties, so don't plan to be too modest when you make the trip out. You might want to bring some extra toilet paper just in case, although I have never been to an event where they ran out. Good management. ;-) When it comes to putting on big events, they are set up like a well-oiled machine. They have staff who man the entrance, take tickets/money quickly, direct you to parking, and then you walk a short distance to all the festivities. It's always a good time. It's just a short drive out on Johns Island, so don't let the location scare you away. It's a little country come to town in my opinion, and I love it. read more

Been coming here to use the wake cables for nearly ten years, as well as bringing friends and family from out of state. Most recently (July 2020) the price to use the wake cable has gone from $36 for two hours to $36 for 15 minutes... An 8x increase in price! When I called to ask about it they claimed the price has always been that. When I pressed them on it saying I'm a long time customer the answer was "new management". In the event the cable park wasn't profitable it might make sense to raise the price, sure, say at the pace of inflation. But raising it 800% is unfair and unfortunately will lose my business and recommendation. Lastly, renting 15 min slots makes little sense as I can't imagine learning to ride, or getting more that one cable pull in that short of time. I'm sad to say, as I've really enjoyed this spot as well as their staff, they've lost my family's business. read more

Beautiful space to play DiscGolf. $5.00 for 18 holes, but if you purchase two discs, you get your round free. You are able to play at any time because they have a drop box for cash rounds. Several holes have water hazards which makes the game interesting. Write your name on the disc! If you lose it in the water, not all hope is lost; they scrub the lakes for discs and hold them for people to claim. I would like to add they have wake boarding during the day. Trophy Lakes is a must see! read more

Let's get one thing straight: my hand-eye coordination skills are equivalent to that of a mole in daylight. With that being said, I'd highly recommend the cable park at Trophy Lakes to anyone who wants to learn how to waterski or wakeboard because they'll have you up & running in no time! The staff is extremely friendly & make you feel at home. While they may be pros on the water, they'll encourage you & keep your spirits high as you're diving face first into the water. Prices range from $20-$25/hr (depending on the season) plus equipment rentals, but keep an eye out for groupons! They usually offer great deals pretty regularly. Also check out their disc golf course! While I haven't played on it, I have a lot of friends who insist it's one of the best in the low country! read more

Disappointed with the wakeboarding. Purchased an hour, but didn't realize my child would be sharing this time with others (5 during our period). So, we would have been better purchasing a one on one lesson. Only the advanced wire was open at the beginning. So my inexperienced child had to dodge obstacles - he was already nervous, so this did not set him up for success and he became frustrated and gave up. This had the potential to be wonderful, but I doubt we will return. The water obstacle float was fun for the kids, but they didn't tell us it was hourly until we had paid? Thankfully we only had to wait 20 mins. But would have preferred to have been informed at the beginning read more

This may be the coolest place for outdoor recreation in the universe! I wish could live here! They have water skiing, a wakeboard cable park, SUP, kayaking, and probably one of the nicest disc golf courses in the country. Whether you are a shedder, a skier, a disc slinger, or looking to learn this is the place to be! Get on it! The people that work here are always super friendly and the water sports instructors are really good. The pro shop is fantastic for water sports but also has a HUGE selection of discs for golfing. Disc golf is $6 for all day. The prices for the water sports vary but I would say they are reasonable for the experience and there is something for everyone. Now, GO. AND GET ON IT! read more

Trophy Lakes has been repeatedly ranked the number one slalom ski course in the world! See WaterSki magazine. 20 minutes sessions are very reasonably priced. The lake is designed so that the wake washes out after each pass. The well-stocked ski and wakeboard shop allows for trial of the ski or wakeboard for 5% of the selling price. The wakeboard cable park is also a lot of fun. It's within easy reach from any of the Charlston beaches. read more

This is my single favorite place to ski, amazing conditions, incredible facility and the best coach! Adam never makes you feel rushed and truly loves the sport and loves making you a better skier. I return here year after year and high recommend this place to all skiers. Lots of family fun around Charleston as well even if your entire family isn't skiers!! Try it out you won't regret it read more

Trophy Lakes is the coolest spot on Johns Island: disc golf, water skiing, a wakeboard cable park, and kayaking (probably more, too)! My coordination on the water isn't the best, so we've stuck to disc golf, and their 18-hole course is great. You can BYOB and spend the whole day there. If you've never been before, start with the red tee markers. The first time we went, we tried the white ones, and you have to throw over some pretty substantial water - don't even get me started on blues - those are for the pros for sure. Trophy Lakes offers disc rentals for great prices as well as disc purchases. I bought my husband a couple of discs last year for Christmas, and each purchase comes with a free round. I love that the course is scenic: through the woods, along the lakes, and that you get to watch all the wakeboarders (I wish I could do that!!). The staff is always friendly, and it's just such a fun, low-key place. read more

Trophy Lakes - Disc golfing at Trophy Lakes - Disc Golf Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Totally awesome place, we had so much fun the last time we were there for alligator jacks crawfish festival!! My husband was delighted to take the helicopter ride, we recorded it and we had a blast! read more

Great disc golf course with a friendly staff who check you in and leave you alone to enjoy the grounds. The water sports look fun though I've only enjoyed them from afar as I'm tossing some discs. Also looks like a fun place to camp overnight and I think it's awesome that will allow you to do that. They have been having more and more events out here which is great for john Island. read more

Trophy Lakes is a beautiful, relaxing place to go have a swim with the fam. They have wakeboarding, water skiing, paddleboarding, wake skating, tubing, disc golf, and trails to run. The staff is super friendly and will even teach you how to get up on a wakeboard or ski. So bring your Enu and snacks and come learn how to shred! read more

Don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a business before, thus taking time out of my vacation to write this review. We showed up at 4pm on a Wednesday thinking we could get a 2 hour run in with a minimal amount of waiting. This was absolutely not the case. While the front staff was extremely friendly, the line operator sat there without saying a word to us. (They only had one line running). We sat behind while a group of 5 kids kept going over and over again as another group of 3 was probably just as clueless as we were to how this process would go. After about 30 minutes of standing around as the same group of 5 kids were still going we figured it was time to leave and this wouldn't be worth it. We promptly got our account credited, as 3 employees inside tried to sooth us over. They stated, "you should come as early as possible, as after noon everyone comes out". So we stated that we'd be back the next day to give it another shot. We showed up at 10am on the dot, as their hours online said they were open from 9am to 6pm. The doors were locked, no one on sight, and a sign on the front door said we'll be back at noon. Gave their office a call with no answer, and after waiting for about 30-40 minutes we decide to leave. We spent 2 hours of driving (there and back, over two days) to try to experience this. What an absolute disappointment, this is not how you run a business. read more

Beautiful, clean area with really friendly staff. Just note that if you're doing wake boarding, it's advertised per hour but you're probably only gonna be on the water for 15 minutes. read more

Such a great place. Took my 2 little girls to the alligator Jacks event today and we had a blast, very well run and probably one of the best weekends I've had in recent memory! Gotta get out again soon for some disc golf! read more
