"My wife is never happy...until we checked into the Martin Inn. The pen she signed in with was sanitized before and after we checked in. The entire Inn was immaculately clean. A great stay and we are definitely coming back.” – John D.

“One of my all-time favorite places. On University Golf Course and lake with views of mountains, campus and water. Best full-service hotel west of Greenville!” – J. O’Tuel

"I stay here twice a year on business. The rooms are clean and well-appointed. The on-site restaurant is nice and the food is good. The service is great. Always happy to stay here.” – Alan L.

“What a gem!!! Stayed here while on a college tour of Clemson University. When we arrived the first thing I noticed was the grounds were immaculate. Our room was sparkling clean and as we headed out we passed our housekeeper who quickly introduced herself as Brenda and said if we need anything while we were here to let her know and asked us if our room was to our satisfaction. We thanked her for making it shine for us. She said she had worked here for 20 years and she just loved this place. It shows… Keep up the southern hospitality James F. Martin Inn.” – Shannon P.

“The best public course hands down. The golf pros and greens staff do an incredible job.” – Frank L.

“The course was in immaculate condition. It is challenging but accessible if you keep it in the fairway. The views overlooking Lake Hartwell on the back nine are fabulous. We will definitely be back.” – A. Silverado

“The Walker Course at Clemson University is a championship layout that ranks with some of the best in South Carolina. This tree-lined and open parkland course provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skillfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy.
