About this course

Hunters Run is a par-3 course at Woodside Plantation Country Club in Aiken, South Carolina, designed by Bob Cupp. The course serves as a short-game complement to the club's regulation layout, offering members and guests a focused test of iron play and scoring touch in a relaxed setting. Cupp, who worked extensively with Jack Nicklaus before establishing his own design practice, brings a thoughtful approach to short-course architecture. His par-3 layouts typically emphasize strategic green complexes and varied shot values rather than mere length, encouraging players to work through different clubs and trajectories over the course of a round. The design philosophy reflects his broader belief that golf architecture should reward precision and creativity. Woodside Plantation sits in the South Carolina Lowcountry near the Georgia border, a region known for its equestrian culture and historic ties to winter sporting estates. Aiken's sandy soils and rolling terrain provide natural drainage and playing conditions suited to year-round golf. The par-3 course fits within this landscape, offering a quicker alternative to the full eighteen holes while maintaining the design integrity expected from a Cupp layout. The course serves both as a practice venue for members working on specific aspects of their short game and as a social option for those seeking a less time-intensive round. Its presence reflects the club's commitment to providing varied golf experiences within the Woodside Plantation community.
