The Country Club of Lexington
About this course
The Country Club of Lexington sits in the South Carolina Midlands, a region characterized by rolling terrain and stands of pine and hardwood. The course was designed by Ed Riccoboni and Denis Griffiths, architects known for their work on layouts across the Carolinas and the southeastern United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Their design approach typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural movement of the land. The routing at Lexington takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and wooded corridors, creating a variety of hole shapes and strategic options. Fairways are framed by mature trees, and several holes feature water hazards that come into play on approach shots or tee balls. The greens are moderately contoured, rewarding accurate iron play and thoughtful course management. The layout provides a traditional country club experience, balancing challenge with accessibility for members and guests. The club serves as a social and recreational hub for the Lexington community, offering a full range of amenities typical of private clubs in the region. The course hosts member competitions and local events throughout the year, maintaining its role as a gathering place for golfers in the Columbia metropolitan area. The setting, with its combination of open and wooded holes, reflects the character of South Carolina's interior landscape.

Getting there
The Country Club of Lexington is most readily accessed via Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), situated approximately 25 minutes to the west, or alternatively through the larger Charleston International Airport (CHS), roughly 90 minutes southeast through the low country. From either hub, the drive into Lexington unfolds through the gently rolling terrain of the South Carolina Midlands, where pine-studded fairways and red clay give way to the quieter rhythms of this inland golf community. The final miles wind through the prosperous residential landscape surrounding the club, where manicured grounds and mature oaks signal arrival at one of the region's most respected private sanctuaries for the game. For those with access to private aviation, Lexington County Airport provides a convenient alternative, positioning members just minutes from the clubhouse.
