The best golf courses in Charleston, South Carolina

“Typically flat courses are more score-able, but that is not the case at The Ocean; instead, you find yourself battling the various hazards and most notably the daunting wind. Let me be clear, you will feel as if you are playing defense on this course.”

“another Raynor design that’s always fun to play! Luckily, living so close means I get to experience it pretty often. The fairways are wide, but that doesn’t mean you can just let it rip.”

“Great track, definitely felt like we were overseas. Just not a course you’re used to playing in Charleston. Loved the holes that flipped each day. You play a hole to the left or right depending on the day.”

“Wildly different than anything else within 500 miles and that makes it all that more fun. A great match play course with tons of risk reward. The clubhouse perched up on the hill never gets old when you get a look at it multiple times throughout the day”

“Very good test of golf and one of the best clubs to be at in Charleston. Hard to beat a seaside Raynor just 10 minutes away from the best city in the world. Great variety of template holes and can be a real test when the wind is up.”

“One of the most tranquil rounds of golf you might ever have. On a normal day you could be the one of only a few groups on the course. Very elite facilities and would be a great place to call home and work on your game. IMO a lot of the holes start to blend together…”

“The MUNI, as many know it by, is a shining example of what public golf in America could and should be. There’s no flashy clubhouse, no incredible piece of land, and no pricey greens fee.”

“A really fun course that has some easy holes, some funky holes, some great marsh views, and cool green complexes. My favorite at Kiawah outside the Ocean.”

“Very similar to turtle without the trio of ocean holes. A few fun holes but it’s just a standard resort course.”

“Turtle Point at Kiawah Island Golf Resort was easily my favorite course that my wife and I played during our baby moon. Not only did I shoot my best score of the year there, but the entire experience from start to finish was outstanding.”

“About as mid as it gets. Easily the worst of the Kiawah courses. A few cool risk reward shots, but just very bland resort golf. The views of the marsh on 18 are very cool.”

“Course is in fantastic condition and looks great. It’s fairly forgettable in terms of the actual golf holes though. Outside of a few neat par 3s it feels like you play the same hole over and over.”

“Early morning tee times are quick but it gets backed up pretty consistently later in the day. Generally pretty well maintained and some interesting holes: #3 is always a thought provoking tee shot #8 is a brute with a similar (but longer) tee shot where you really need to try…”
