South Carolina, known as the Palmetto State, has a history rich with golf. Not only can many of the state's museums be found in the capital of Columbia, but Palmetto's golf beginnings can also be traced to a group of Scottish merchants who visited the city and founded the South Carolina Golf Club way back in 1786. Now the industry is exploding in South Carolina; each year millions flock to the golfing playground of Myrtle Beach where there are over 120 courses to choose from. It's little wonder that the state tourist board flaunts themselves as the number one golf state in the country.
While Charleston will likely come to mind when discussing golf in the Palmetto State, the capital of Columbia is also home to several beautiful courses worth discovering. Cobblestone Park Golf Club is a wonderful 27 hole course, once known as the University Club, which offers daily fee pay play to the public. The panoramic views, rollings hills, and swathes of gorgeous oaks and pines have led to Cobblestone being consistently voted one of the best golf courses in the Midlands.
Oak Hills Golf is another widely respected course just a stone's throw away from the State Capitol. Highlighted in Golf Digest's “Places to Play” in 2006, the course is designed by Steve Melnyk-Davis Love III and includes flawlessly maintained 419 Bermuda grass fairways and TifDwarf greens. The course is situated on a 160-acre tract of gentle hills and thousands of flourishing oaks, pines, and picturesque dogwoods.
The 18-hole course at Northwoods is another welcoming oasis for golfers of different stripes and abilities, with grounds that were created to emulate southern charm and feature towering pine trees. The calm waters of Moores Pond are another prominent fixture on multiple holes. P.B. Dye crafted the design, son of the famous course architect Pete Dye, and the familial magic courses through the 6,800 yard track.
