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?

3-Wood: :titleist: TS2 16.5*
Irons: :titleist: T300
Wedges: :vokey: SM7 58*
Putter:  :scotty_cameron: Phantom X 6 STR

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

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?

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
