GOLFCOURSE:
The Golf Club at Briar's Creek is everything a pure golf experience should be: exclusive, unhurried and personal. Atop a beautiful expanse of property brimming with natural wonders, Rees Jones designed an inspired golf course that continually garners widespread acclaim year after year. More than just challenging golf, an integral part of the Briar's Creek experience is the way the course and the natural environment complement each other. As an Audubon International Certified Signature Sanctuary- the first in South Carolina - The Golf Club at Briar's Creek flawlessly blends water, marshes, wetlands, and wildlife with bunkers, roughs and quick, impeccably rolling green complexes. However, the experience at Briar's Creek extends far beyond the immaculate, awardwinning golf course. It encompasses everything from the parking lot to the 19th hole. There are no tee times at Briar's Creek, no unaccompanied guests and only 300 members. The staff will not only know your name, but also your favorite meal, choice beverage and shirt size.
