Charleston Area Golf Courses
Golf is one of the treasured past-times in the Lowcountry, and the greater Charleston area offers an outstanding variety of courses — from seaside links to protected parkland designs.
Many golf enthusiasts love the idea of stepping from home onto the first tee. Around Charleston, a wide selection of public and private clubs makes that dream possible. Several courses are public, so living where you love to play is optional — but proximity is a huge perk.
