The Southeast United States is the Golfer’s Garden of Eden
Almost every state in the South boasts a legendary golf course or 2 or 10! It’s hard to know where to begin with an overview of all the amazing courses the South has to offer. Looking to Charleston, S.C.
Yeamans’s Hall Club is one of the finest offerings in the region.
Engineer/golf course architect Seth Raynor lovingly designed this one using a series of template holes he developed with Charles Blair MacDonald in the early decades of the 20th Century.
Yeaman’s Hole began operation in 1925 and its linear designed holes melded perfectly with its low country surroundings. The Redan, Biarritz, and Short Hole are some of the highlights. Principal’s Nose bunker is another landmark to watch for in the first fairway. Current superintendent Jim Yonce has restored this course back to its former glory and it now ranks among Golfweek’s best classic courses.
The man, the myth, the legend himself Robert Trent Jones Sr. first made his mark in the American golf course design scene with Peachtree Golf Club in Atlanta in 1948. In partnership with former amateur Robert Tyre, Jones strove to build a course to rival Augusta National with lush parkland views, rolling hills, and luxuriously elevated greens.
Up in Virginia the mountain resort known as Homestead Resort is the home of the famous Cascade Course in Hot Springs, VA. Steep terrain, dramatic views, and a secluded mountain setting help make this course truly unique. In addition, the resort features old style health spa amenities and loads of Southern hospitality and charm.
