Last but not least on our itinerary is the City Of Charleston Municipal Golf Course. While it may not have the creative or beautiful name name like some of the other surrounding courses do, this historic golf course designed by Seth Raynor has undergone a very recent redesign and is in immaculate shape for any golf course, let alone a municipal track. I can confidently say it is one of, if not the best city owned golf course in the state of South Carolina, and you will see why when you play it. Built on the edge of James Island situated right along the edge of the Stone River, this Yeamans Hall inspired golf course was renovated with the "Golden Era" of golf course architecture in mind, as the city wanted this golf course to be the staple of Charleston public golf. You and your playing partners will love the sweeping views of the Savannas and Stono River, and will be surprised at the pure greens and immaculate bunkers that resemble that of a private club, even though more than 50,000 rounds are played on this golf course every year. This par 72 golf course is only about 6500 yards from the tips and will definitely be the one of the more relaxing rounds of golf played on this trip, as the par 5's offer very good scoring opportunities; all being under 520 yards. With that being said, the course rating still plays over par, as the fairways are relatively narrow and the greens runoff very easily. This course will pleasantly surprise anybody playing it and is a great way to relax and enjoy your last day in the Charleston area: it makes it much easier to relax when rates range from $60-80 per person. In terms of distance, this golf course is 28 minutes from the Andell Inn, 18 minutes from the Beachside Boutique Inn, and 19 minutes from the center of John's Island.
