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.

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…
