Charleston, SC · 7.8 mi away

Shadowmoss Golf & Country Club is a semi-private course in Charleston, carved from an original Charleston plantation and designed by Russell Breeden. Opened in 1970, the layout weaves through dense oak and hickory forest with a mosaic of ponds and streams, offering five sets of tees from about 6,500 yards down. The Champion Bermuda greens were renovated in 2003, and the generous fairways keep it playable for all levels.

Charleston, SC · 9.7 mi away

Charleston Municipal Golf Course, known locally as the Muni, sits on James Island about five miles west of downtown Charleston along the Stono River. It opened in 1929. The designer is not known for sure, though it was built at the same time Seth Raynor was working at the Country Club of Charleston and Yeamans Hall nearby. In 2020 architect Troy Miller of Miller Golf Design led a $2 million renovation. He rebuilt the greens to their original size and added template holes in the Raynor tradition, including a Punchbowl, Biarritz, Alps, Redan, Cape and Short. He also opened views along the Stono River and used short five-foot flagsticks. The Muni is the city's public course and handles 50,000 to 60,000 rounds a year.

Kiawah Island, SC · 10 mi away

The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, near Charleston, South Carolina, is a Pete Dye design that opened in 1991. Ten holes run along the Atlantic and the rest sit close behind. At Alice Dye's suggestion, the whole course was raised above the dune line so every hole has a view of the ocean. That decision leaves the course fully exposed to shifting coastal wind, which can change club selection by several clubs from one round to the next. Much of the sand is unedged waste area rather than formal bunkers, and the greens are firm and hard to hold into the breeze. The Ocean Course hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup, known as the War by the Shore, the 2007 Senior PGA Championship, the 2012 PGA Championship won by Rory McIlroy, and the 2021 PGA Championship won by Phil Mickelson at age 50. It is open to resort guests and the public, walking with a caddie is encouraged, and carts are allowed after 10 a.m. in summer.
