Believe Riverton Pointe is still semi-private until they have enough members to go fully private. It’s a fun course. Likely call and check.
Morning y’all,
I am in Greenville for work on the 10/17 to 10/27 and looking for course reccomendations. May be linking up with a friend who is new to game, so if there any courses you think would be fun pleade lwt me know! Appreciate all the help.
Par 3 course with big practice putting green that was just redone. Should be fun for the friend. I’ll let the other locals chime in about real courses. Furman comes to my mind.

Hey y’all, just wanted to let you know I booked Charleston Muni for 2 next Thursday (10/20) at 1:57 and Stono Ferry on Friday at 8:04 AM. 2 spots open at both if anyone local wants to join.

Was there a couple of months back and played both. Wouldn’t do anything different next time I visit.
Take the time and drive to Clemson and play the Walker Course…multiple times. I think it’s my favorite public course in upstate SC. Lots of memorable holes, good architecture and excellent conditioning.

That is the plan. Furman is hosting some real deal event next weekend, so my boss and I will tee off at the Walker Course 1110AM Sunday. He is an FSU grad, so it will be fun watching him enojoy the round.

I’m eager to hear what you think. There’s a pretty good restaurant next door to the course - Sole’ on the Green. Their patio overlooks the 18th hole and Lake Hartwell and is a fun place to have lunch after your round. The course is on the edge of campus and if you like college campuses Clemson’s is nice, but not too big and worth a look around.

Any south carolinians attending the CJ Cup? Looking for a CJ hat.
Great sunsets on the finishing holes too this time of year!
The purest greens I have ever played! Great layout, beautiful scenery. I could get used to playing there, y’all have a real gem!

That’s my favorite tee shot. 16, 17, and 18 are fun finishing holes. Any other highlights from the day?

Hole 17 was my favorite! The views on the back 9 of the lake were stunning. I enjoyed 15, for I hit a bomb and had barely a bump and run left to the green. We didn’t realize Sole had limited Sunday hours, so we called an audible and watched the NFL games at the Hooters in Anderson and had a great post round party. I played with a coworker who is used to playing golf in Florida, so he was blown away by elevation changes. He hit the best bunker shots of his life today. It was impressive, for we played Pine Mountain Country Club earlier this week and that was his first time hitting a tee shot up a hill. He let me know that playing in SC was a bucket liat trip for him, so it was awesome to share that with him.

Glad to hear you had a great time. Now you’ve got a reason to go back to upstate SC.

Here’s the Lowcountry chat group link:
Admittedly it’s not the most active, but hopefully it can grow as more local folks join.
Course has always been in great shape since i been visiting since 2012. But this past spring i just felt like tee box to green it was the best I’d ever seen it. Greens were in fact so good. I just kept saying that every putt. Then every 3 putt. Lol
