About this course

The Country Club of South Carolina in Florence is an Ellis Maples design that opened in 1968 on a 900-acre property where Black Creek winds through the fairways. The par-72 layout stretches to about 7,060 yards from the back tees, with the front nine looping around Polk Swamp and the back nine wandering through native wetlands and woods. Maples, a Donald Ross protege and patriarch of the Carolinas-based Maples design firm, used the region's forests and creeks to echo the sandhills courses of North Carolina with a battery of bunkers. The 460-yard 18th makes a hard dogleg left around a lagoon to a well-bunkered green and is the No. 1 handicap hole. The club is open to public play seven days a week and was recognized on Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play list for South Carolina.

The Traces Golf Club

Florence, SC · 13 mi away

The Traces Golf Club is located on Southborough Road in Florence, South Carolina, about a mile off Interstate 20. It operates as a semi-private club open to daily-fee play. The facility was built in 1999 and designed by Ron Garl. It offers 27 holes arranged in three nine-hole segments called Woodlands, Meadows and Creekside, which can be combined in pairs for an 18-hole round, each playing to a par of 72 from the regular combinations. The terrain includes rolling hills with sand and water hazards and large undulating bermuda greens. The clubhouse includes a pro shop, bar and grill, and the club also hosts outings and events. Fairways and greens are bermuda grass, and the course plays year round given the region's mild climate.

Wild Wing Plantation

Conway, SC · 50 mi away

Wild Wing Plantation in Conway is a 27-hole facility minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach, built around the 18-hole Avocet course and the nine-hole Hummingbird. Avocet is credited to architect Jeff Brauer and three-time major champion Larry Nelson, and it leans on variety rather than length: drivable par 4s, double greens and split fairways, with undulating putting surfaces and surrounding swales that put a premium on the short game. The drivable par-4 14th gives players of any ability a look at eagle. Wild Wing is part of the Founders Collection of Myrtle Beach courses and is open to public play.
