Golf in Charleston

Charleston is the county seat of Charleston County, the oldest and most historically significant city in South Carolina, founded in 1670 on the peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper rivers. One of the most visited cities in the American South, Charleston is renowned for its antebellum architecture, its role in the Atlantic slave trade and the Civil War, and its Lowcountry culinary and cultural traditions rooted in Gullah Geechee heritage. The city's historic peninsula, Rainbow Row, Battery Park, and Fort Sumter in the harbor are among the most recognized landmarks in American history. Charleston's golf courses serve both the large residential population of the metropolitan area and the significant tourism economy of one of the Southeast's most visited destinations.
