Pine Lake Golf Club

Pine Lake Golf Club sits in Anderson, a city in the northwestern corner of South Carolina near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The course was designed by Russell Breeden, a regional architect active primarily in the Carolinas and southeastern United States during the latter half of the twentieth century. Breeden's work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain and vegetation of each site. The layout at Pine Lake reflects its Upstate South Carolina setting, with rolling terrain and stands of mature pines that frame fairways and define playing corridors. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes common to the region, offering a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. Water features, including the lake for which the course is named, come into play on several holes and add both strategic interest and visual character to the round. Pine Lake serves as a private club for the Anderson community, providing a home course for local members and hosting club competitions and social events throughout the season. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports the membership's recreational and dining activities. The course represents a typical example of mid-to-late twentieth-century regional design, offering a familiar and comfortable golf experience within the context of South Carolina's Piedmont landscape.
