Golf Courses in South Carolina
South Carolina's golf landscape includes 154 named golf courses and country clubs distributed across 141 cities and 37 counties, according to data from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places. Each entry in the directory represents a real, named facility organized by geographic location.
The GNIS database catalogs named geographic features rather than active businesses, which means the directory serves as a partial and historically layered snapshot of the state's golf infrastructure. A newly opened or recently renamed course may not yet appear in the federal record, and operational details such as public or private status, fee structures, and course layout are not included in the GNIS database.
Those seeking to locate a specific course should use this directory as a geographic reference tool, searching by city and county to identify nearby facilities. Once a course is located, interested golfers should consult the facility's own website or contact the course directly to verify current hours of operation, rates, and booking availability.
How to use the South Carolina directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.
