Wedgefield Plantation at Wedgefield Plantation Golf Course

Wedgefield Plantation, nestled in the lowcountry of Georgetown, South Carolina, carries echoes of its rice plantation past within its very fairways. This is not a course built on sand dunes or dramatic elevation changes, but one carved from history – a subtle parkland layout where ancient oaks stand sentinel and the Black River whispers tales of a bygone era.

Designed by Porter Gibson, Wedgefield presents a deceptively challenging test. The course rewards strategic play, favoring those who can shape the ball and navigate its subtle doglegs. While not excessively long, precision is paramount; errant tee shots are often swallowed by the dense Carolina undergrowth or find themselves in the murky clutches of strategically placed water hazards. Many a score has ballooned on the inward nine, where the pressure mounts and the course reveals its teeth.

Wedgefield has largely remained a haven for its tight-knit membership – a group as diverse as the land itself, ranging from local business owners to retirees drawn by the tranquil pace of life. While it may not boast a national profile, Wedgefield’s appeal lies in its authenticity: a place where the spirit of Southern hospitality thrives and the game of golf is enjoyed in its purest form. After a round, the clubhouse bar serves the club's famous spicy boiled peanuts, a southern delicacy enjoyed with a cold drink.
