About this course

Chester Golf Club sits in rural Chester County, six miles west of Interstate 77 and within reach of Charlotte and Columbia. Russell Breeden designed it and it opened in 1971.

It plays to about 6,800 yards from the back tees, with tree-lined Bermuda fairways and large TifEagle greens. The par-5 12th is the hole people talk about. It needs two shots over water, and the green has water on three sides.

It is public, run by the Leroy Springs group, and memberships carry no initiation fee.

The par-72 layout reaches about 6,940 yards from the back tees, set among dense hardwoods and rolling Catawba River terrain with water from lakes and creeks in play on 16 of 18 holes.

Springfield Golf Club

York, SC · 20 mi away

Springfield Golf Club is located in Fort Mill, South Carolina, just south of Charlotte, North Carolina, and was designed by architect Clyde Johnston in a style recalling 1920s golf course design. The course opened in April 2001 on heavily wooded, hilly ground that flows into the Piedmont foothills, with four holes running alongside Sugar Creek and thirteen holes crossing or paralleling streams that feed the Catawba River. It plays to a par of 72 over 6,906 yards, with numerous elevated tees and greens contributing to significant elevation change for the region. Greens were upgraded to ultradwarf MiniVerde turf in 2010. Owned and operated by Leroy Springs & Company, a nonprofit recreation provider, Springfield hosts corporate outings, charity tournaments and youth programs including a First Tee partnership. The practice facility includes an oversized putting green and driving range.
