True old-school golf club with no frills, full of McKenzie trademarks, super charming, historic, and lowkey atmosphere. Not over-manicured around the edges, but conditions tee to green are excellent - they focus on the important stuff. Green complexes are brilliant and fun.

Great track, definitely felt like we were overseas. Just not a course you’re used to playing in Charleston. Loved the holes that flipped each day. You play a hole to the left or right depending on the day.

Love the fairways that run into bunkers with no rough line. Challenging but fair course. Conditions are incredible. If given the chance, you should go. The staff is incredible and I love the sunken bar for a post round cocktail.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across South Carolina. Rankings refresh about hourly.
