Our Old Tabby Links golf course epitomizes out nature-first philosophy. The front nine of this Arnold Palmer course weaves through a 150-year-old live oak forest. The back nine presents a totally different look. The first six holes meander through what used to be quail hunting pastures. The last three border the marsh and present magnificent views of the Chechessee River with the Broad River, Parris Island and Port Royal off on the horizon.
Thoughtfully shaped to respect its natural surrounding, the course is distinguished not only by its playability but also but for its respect to its natural surroundings. Nary a home nor another fairway can be seen from many of the holes. The 17th hole has become famous. Our signature hole, it has been ranked as on of the top 18 holes Palmer has created.
One dramatic feature of the course is at the ninth hole, a hole that’s considered by South Carolina pros to have one of the best risk reward par fives anywhere. To the right side of this hole, across a large pond, are our Tabby Ruins, the remnants of the mansion of former proprietor George Edwards.
The course has received enthusiastic praise from reviewers. Last year Golf Week magazine ranked us 19th among the top 100 residential courses in America.
