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.
