The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A 1925 Seth Raynor design (later touched by Donald Ross) routed along the Ashley River with a serene front nine and a dramatic back-nine ridge that hosts most of the famous holes, including a fearsome Reverse Redan 11th and the Lion’s Mouth 16th. Hardcore architecture fans treat it as one of the country’s purest Raynor experiences, where strategy and green reading matter far more than power.
Consistently praised
- Raynor template parade (Redan, Road, Alps, Leven, Knoll, Lion’s Mouth) on flat marsh-edge ground.
- Back nine ridge holes draw championship-level praise; wide, generous fairways keep the interest at the green, not off the tee.
Worth knowing
- Strictly private and tough to access without a member connection, so it lives more in golfer lore than on most tee sheets.
Golfers recommend
- If you get on, study green contours before you putt; the pin sheet matters more than the yardage book.
- Take the back tees only if you control trajectory into firm, sloped greens; otherwise move up and play for angles.
