The oldest golf course on record in South Carolina is Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, which first opened for play in 1892, a year verified against the operator's own site and press coverage. The 50 oldest golf courses in South Carolina by recorded founding year, from Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken in 1892 to 1965. They are drawn from the 169 South Carolina courses with a recorded founding year, 66% of the 255 listed here; the median founding year across that group is 1980. The rest carry no recorded year, so an older course may not appear on this list.
