The MUNI, as many know it by, is a shining example of what public golf in America could and should be. There’s no flashy clubhouse, no incredible piece of land, and no pricey greens fee.

…not a fan of a hole with a long forced carry on the last hole. Long distance between holes Unorganized Parking Lot Bag Drop area seemed not very functional ability and starting holes across the street causes confusion

Mike Strantz doesn’t miss. Fantastic course undulating interesting greens not a boring hole on the course. Tougher than True Blue across the street. Big oaks with Spanish Moss complete the classic look. Got a great winter deal in Jan.

The course itself is always in fantastic shape. You can really tell they take pride in the conditioning — lush fairways, pure greens, and those Lowcountry sand dunes and native grasses perfectly blended throughout the layout.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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.
