CRYSTAL LAKES GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Sumter, SC, USA
Designed by Ed Riccoboni

Crystal Lakes Golf Course sits in Sumter, South Carolina, a city in the state's central Midlands region. The course was designed by Ed Riccoboni, a regional architect who worked primarily in the Carolinas during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Riccoboni's designs typically emphasize playability for a wide range of golfers while incorporating natural water features and native vegetation characteristic of the South Carolina landscape.
The routing at Crystal Lakes takes advantage of the gently rolling terrain common to the Midlands, with several holes playing alongside or across the lakes that give the course its name. Water comes into play on multiple holes, requiring strategic decisions off the tee and on approach shots. The layout includes a mix of open and tree-lined fairways, with mature pines and hardwoods framing many holes and defining corridors through the property.
Crystal Lakes serves as a public facility, providing golf access to the Sumter community and visitors to the region. The course caters to recreational golfers and local leagues, offering a straightforward test that rewards accuracy and course management. Conditions and maintenance reflect the standards typical of municipal and daily-fee courses in smaller South Carolina markets, where golf remains an accessible and popular pastime year-round due to the temperate climate.
