Country Club of Charleston

Charleston's Country Club of Charleston remains a bastion of classic golf, its origins steeped in the traditions of the game's early American expansion. Routed across the lowcountry landscape, the course has a distinct coastal feel and a playability that has stood the test of time. The course is known for its tight fairways and small greens that demand accurate approach shots, favoring players who can control their ball flight in the often-present sea breeze. Originally designed by Seth Raynor, a protege of Charles Blair Macdonald, the course showcases Raynor's signature geometric green complexes and strategic bunkering. Later enhancements came from Brian Silva, whose work sought to restore and enhance Raynor's original vision, ensuring the course's relevance for modern play.

The club maintains a distinguished membership drawn from the city's social fabric, known for its refined atmosphere and dedication to the traditions of the game. Charleston is a place where golf is celebrated not just for the competition, but for the camaraderie and enduring spirit it fosters.
