The Golf Club at Wescott Plantation

The Golf Club at Wescott Plantation features two eighteen-hole courses designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan, with the Oak Forest and Burn Kill nines forming one of the primary routing combinations at this facility in Summerville, South Carolina. Located in the South Carolina Lowcountry roughly twenty-five miles northwest of Charleston, the property sits within a residential community developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Hurdzan, known for his agronomic expertise and environmental sensitivity in golf course design, worked with the natural terrain and vegetation characteristic of this region. The Lowcountry setting provides the courses with mature hardwoods, native grasses, and wetland areas that influence both strategy and aesthetics. The relatively flat topography typical of coastal South Carolina is punctuated by water features and strategic bunkering that define playing corridors and green complexes. Hurdzan's design approach here emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the ecological constraints and opportunities of the site. Wescott Plantation operates as a semi-private facility, offering access to both members and daily-fee play. The club serves the growing Summerville area and attracts golfers from the broader Charleston region. The combination of Hurdzan's design principles and the Lowcountry environment creates a course experience rooted in the landscape and climate of South Carolina's coastal plain.
