About this course
Newberry at Country Club of Newberry stands as a testament to accessible, community-centric golf in the heart of South Carolina. Its enduring popularity stems from a straightforward design and welcoming atmosphere more than any particular architectural flourish. Laid out in the mid-20th century on gently rolling terrain, the course presents a classic parkland style, defined by tree-lined fairways. Strategic bunkering and modestly sized greens prioritize playability and enjoyment over punishing difficulty. Its characteristics include a few dog legs and favoring drawers of the ball. While not a venue for major championships, the Country Club of Newberry serves as a gathering place for the local community. Its clubhouse is known for simple, Southern fare enjoyed by members after their rounds—perhaps the most intense competition occurring at the card table after the final putt drops on the 18th. The club’s understated charm lies in its dedication to providing an affordable and convivial golfing experience for generations of Newberry residents.

Getting there
The journey to Country Club of Newberry begins at Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), roughly forty minutes northwest through the gently rolling terrain of South Carolina's Piedmont. The drive follows I-26 as it climbs gradually from the state capital, trading urban sprawl for farmland and pine-dotted hills before the exit into Newberry proper. This is quiet, unhurried country - a landscape of red clay and modest elevation that has long defined the Carolina interior - and the club sits tucked within this understated setting, a local institution far removed from the coastal resort corridors to the east.
