Need opinions on Charleston golf. We're going to The Masters, but flying in and out of Charleston, and staying there for a couple of days. Yes, I'm well aware of Kiawah, and all it has to offer. I'd LOVE to play the Ocean Course, but others in our group aren't so keen on paying their prices ($397 for Ocean/ $247 for all others). So, if someone wants to play golf in that area, but Kiawah is out of reach, where would you suggest?

Links at Stono Ferry is a good course. Patriot's Point is on Charleston Harbor, and has some beautiful views. The course is nothing special, but it is a fun course. All you want if it is windy. The three finishing holes are good. Charleston National is also a pretty good course. 


There are alot of courses around Charleston for sure. The courses on Daniel island are really nice but can be expensive as well. Charleston National is nice also but I didn't get to hit my driver but once there. Stono ferry was kind of the same way for me as well. Of course Kiawah courses are nice. Can probably get a much better rate playing Oak Point course as it is not actually on Kiawah island. The courses on Seabrook island next to Kiawah are nice as well. Kind of depends on where you are staying exactly as courses like Kiawah can be a drive if your hotel isn't close. There are a ton of cheaper courses around the area as well if that's what your into like me lol.


Wow! That sounds like a great trip.  You're going to have a ball! That's about a three hour drive so it's very doable. I don't know how many rounds you're planning to get in while in Charleston but be sure to play Charleston National and the Links at Stono Ferry.  Both great courses and super fun!  If you're a member of a club your pro may be able to get you on the Country Club of Charleston. They're hosting the U.S. Women's Open this year so that may be tough but definitely worth a shot. 


Hi, I just moved to Charleston working for the Air Force at JB Charleston....any recommendations of local courses would be great. I've played the course on the base (Wrenwoods) and it was a little beat up but nice to have right there for after work. Also would be nice to make some golf buddies in the local area to play with!

Wescott Plantation is a great course and reasonably priced.  I love Stono, just join their e-club for better tee times and specials.  Charleston National used to be great but when I played there 2 years ago, conditions were a bit rough.

Kiawah Ocean is spectacular...If you can handle mucho golf....Book the cheapest course for am play and replay Ocean at half price or less. Charleston National is a decent alternative.  Or better yet...Sell your tix and go play the Ocean a few times....Ha

Just moved here as well. No partners here. Not a stud but not a hacker. Looking to play with someone on some local courses I’m off most Wednesday’s and Sundays 


Course on Isle of Palms has some beautiful holes.

If you are going to play The Ocean Course, bring your A game.

Hey man Sundays work for me! I live over in West Ashley and have mostly just played on the Air Base but I've compiled a decent list of local courses from Air Force guys and talking to locals at the driving range.

Hi. I’m considering a move to Charleston, SC and am trying to figure out where the local golfers are playing. I play one of five municipal courses where I live now on a weekly basis for under $40 so I’m looking for something in a similar price point. I’m not looking for the best courses, just something to get my weekly fix in. Any suggestions?

    • I figured it was questionable as well. I too thought it was funny when he said how easy it was to set up compared to ‘more expensive devices.’ Yeah, it’s a real mess turning on my Mevo and setting it down. Maybe it’s ‘useful’ for someone who doesn’t want to spend a dime on a monitor and only wants to know distance, on a clear day.😗
    • Is all about the balance between calories consumed / digested vs calories burned though the day. The best way to lose weight is to keep your mouth shut! eat less. Consume less calories than your body needs and you will loose weight eventually. Slowly but surely. Off course you can ad extra workout to your day to burn more calories but it's a lot easier to avoid eating that 2nd burger than going out to run an hour or more to burn it. I went from 75 kilos down to 63 in 1 year just because I wasn't able to eat without pain. In that year I didn't exercise at all in that period, I was feeling bad every day. It was all about not eating enough.  2 years later I regained all my weight, just because I started eating more because I was feeling better. Also in that period I started to hit the gym and play more golf. Burned a lot more calories but also eat a LOT more food.  Fast and slow metabolism is a thing but is just an excuse to quit. If you have a slow metabolism and you want to lose weight is going to be harder for you to lose weight than a person that have fast metabolism, but is possible if you really commit to it.  Bonus track... the bigger the muscles, the more calories they burn during the day even when they are resting. So lifting weight while dieting is better than dieting with cardio.    What is real in a diet? The ideal number is to eat 500 calories less than you burn per day. In 2 week you will be 7000 calories down. That equals to 1 kilo or 2 pounds. So the idea is to loose 2 kilos / 4 pounds a months... it seams to little but over a year is a whopping 24 kilos / 48 pounds. Remember... if you commit to loose way Slowly but surely you will lose weight. Never believe when someone try's to sell you, that you can loose 20 pounds in one month. Is not possible or healthy.  Another thing when you start to diet is don't get discouraged if after a week you stop going down in weight, even you start to go up. is normal, when you start to diet, you normally loose a couple pounds in water, yes that water is from water retention from your previous diet.  Just keep on grinding and you will keep loosing weight eventually. Also worth pointing out, the body always tends to stay the same. If your weight is 100 and you start a diet, you body is going to notice that the calories intake is been dramatically reduced, so in order to keep you at 100 kilos is going to slow down your metabolism in order for you to burn less calories. Eventually this is not going to be enough and you will start to loose weight but your body is not going to make it easy on you.     
    • I feel like that video was an incredible waste of time. Because the guy kept saying carry and clearly the device is saying total distance. With carry distance also on there, but he's not calling that out. They when he's comparing it to the Trackman he continues to say "carry", when again the device says total. With his being so inexact in the use of the terms carry and total distances I literally have no idea how accurate or inaccurate that thing is.  I will say the putting was kind of neat. 
    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
    • Has anyone tried this? Just came across it.
