Woodhaven at Woodhaven Golf Club

Woodhaven Golf Club sits in Pendleton, a small town in the Upstate region of South Carolina near Clemson and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The course was designed by Porter Gibson, a regional architect who has worked primarily in the Carolinas and Georgia. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Piedmont, where elevation changes and natural contours provide variety in stance and shot-making demands.

The routing takes advantage of the property's wooded character, with tree-lined fairways framing holes and requiring accuracy from the tee. Water features come into play on several holes, typical of courses in this part of South Carolina where ponds and creeks are often incorporated into the design. The greens present moderate undulation, and the course offers a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels while rewarding strategic play and course management.

Pendleton itself is one of the oldest towns in the region, with historic roots dating to the late eighteenth century, and the surrounding area has seen steady residential and golf development as the Clemson University community and retirees have contributed to growth in the Upstate. Woodhaven serves primarily as a daily-fee facility, providing accessible golf in a setting that balances the natural landscape with the practical demands of a public course. The club offers standard amenities including practice facilities and a clubhouse for post-round dining.
