The same stuff could be picked up at any of the numerous retailers in the area so I felt they should have instead focused more on equipment. The golf shop did look nice (this is SC) but the employees working that area seemed preoccupied with themselves. All the other employees seemed uninformed about the activities their areas pertained to.

Despite being a sports fan, the real reason I stopped by was to see if they had a wider assortment of South Carolina Gamecock gear than some of the other stores around town. They did! They also had tons of others sporty items that I wasn't really in need of, but was happy to browse through. Unfortunately, since we only looked through their SC gear, we didn't hang out long. The staff were friendly. The store clean and organized. I'm so jealous we don't have an Academy Sports at home. I'd be hanging out there a lot!

I came in to look at some golf equipment, but their selection was quite limited. If you're looking for "outdoors" merchandise like hunting gear, fishing gear, coolers, guns & ammunition, etc. this is a great store. If you're looking for specific gear for a particular sport like basketball, baseball, football, or golf, I'd probably pick another option like Play It Again or Dick's.

Shoutout to staff member Anna for helping me with my hiking boots. --Ambience-- Similar to all other REI, it looks like you are sucks into an outdoor adventure and every area is there to help choose and decide on your selection. --Service/Staff-- Anna helped me with my hiking boots and walking up and down the demo rock area and gave good recommendations on comfort and fit. --Products/Service-- I am super happy with my hiking boots and the return policy and being a member has its perks. Price can be on the high end, but it makes up in quality and service with their return policy. --Capacity-- The store is huge. I wouldn't be surprised if they can service 100+ people during a Black Friday rush. --Overall-- Outdoor equipment and accessories, this is my first stop!
