Links O Tryon

Links O Tryon occupies rolling terrain in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Campobello, South Carolina, close to the North Carolina border. Designed by Tom Jackson and opened in the mid-1990s, the course takes its name from the nearby Tryon area and reflects Jackson's approach to routing golf holes through the natural contours of the Upstate South Carolina landscape. The property features elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of the region's transition zone between Piedmont and mountain topography. The layout incorporates the site's natural movement, with holes playing across ridges and through valleys lined with hardwoods and pines. Water comes into play on several holes, and the design emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee to set up favorable approach angles to greens that often sit on elevated or sloped ground. The course serves both daily-fee and member play, functioning as a community amenity in this part of the Carolina foothills. Links O Tryon operates as a semi-private facility, offering access to local residents and visitors exploring the golf options between Spartanburg and the mountain resort areas to the west. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to the recreational player, with length and challenge appropriate to its setting and market. Conditions and maintenance reflect the property's role as a regional course rather than a destination layout.
