Aberdeen Country Club

Aberdeen Country Club's Woodlands/Highlands combination represents one of three nine-hole loops at this facility in Longs, South Carolina, located in the coastal region north of Myrtle Beach. Designed by Tom Jackson, the course serves a residential community development in an area characterized by the transition between South Carolina's coastal plain and the inland pine forests typical of the Grand Strand's western reaches. The Woodlands and Highlands nines reflect the natural topography of the region, incorporating mature tree corridors and modest elevation changes uncommon in the flatter coastal courses closer to the ocean. The routing takes advantage of the wooded landscape, with holes framed by longleaf and loblolly pines. Water features and wetland areas appear throughout the layout, consistent with the low-country environment and providing both strategic interest and habitat preservation. Aberdeen Country Club operates primarily as a private club serving its residential membership, though it has historically offered limited access to non-members. The three-nine configuration allows for varied course combinations and flexibility in pace of play. The club provides traditional amenities including dining facilities and practice areas. The Woodlands/Highlands pairing offers a representative experience of inland Grand Strand golf, where the design emphasis falls on tree-lined fairways and approach shot accuracy rather than the links-influenced characteristics of courses situated closer to the Atlantic coastline.
