About this course

The Reserve at Woodside Plantation is a Jack Nicklaus design that opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential community in Aiken, South Carolina. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the South Carolina midlands, with mature pines, hardwoods, and natural wetlands shaping the routing. Nicklaus incorporated the property's elevation changes and native vegetation into a layout that emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee and demands precision on approach shots to greens protected by bunkers and natural hazards. The course features the signature elements common to Nicklaus designs from this period: generous fairway corridors that reward accurate drives, substantial green complexes with varied internal contours, and strategic bunkering that frames landing areas and green entries. Water comes into play on several holes, typically in the form of ponds or creeks that require carries or influence club selection. The property's natural topography provides visual interest and creates holes that move through corridors of trees and across open meadow areas. Woodside Plantation functions as a private club serving a residential community in the Aiken area, a region with a long equestrian tradition and a history as a winter retreat dating to the late nineteenth century. The Reserve offers members a championship-length layout with multiple tee options, and the course serves as the centerpiece of the club's amenities. The design reflects Nicklaus's approach to creating courses that challenge accomplished players while remaining accessible from forward tees.
