Shannon Greens Golf Club

Shannon Greens Golf Club sits in Manning, South Carolina, a small town in Clarendon County roughly midway between Columbia and the coastal plain. Designed by Ed Riccoboni and opened in the mid-1990s, the course serves the local golfing community in this rural part of the state. Riccoboni, a regional architect active primarily in the Carolinas during that era, worked within the area's characteristic Lowcountry topography—relatively flat terrain with sandy soils, stands of pine and hardwood, and occasional wetland areas that influence routing and strategy. The layout at Shannon Greens reflects the practical design approach common to daily-fee and semi-private facilities in South Carolina's interior: straightforward holes that accommodate a range of skill levels, with water hazards and bunkers providing definition and challenge without excessive difficulty. The course takes advantage of the natural vegetation and drainage patterns typical of the region, and the conditioning benefits from the sandy base that drains well even during the humid summer months. Shannon Greens functions as a community course for Manning and surrounding towns, offering accessible golf in an area with limited options. The club provides a relaxed atmosphere suited to local members and visitors exploring the smaller markets of the Pee Dee region, away from the more heavily trafficked resort corridors along the coast.
