Golf Courses (Public,Semi-Private,and Private) (Charleston, Summerville: college, pine, relocation)

[Sumack0075]

Hello. I stumbled across this forum by dumb luck and have been checking various city forums for all kinds of information for a possible relocation. I have found just about everything I've wanted to learn about Charleston from other threads, except for one thing.

Can anyone tell about the golf in and around Charleston? More specifically around the Summerville, Goose, Creek, Hanahan areas. What are some of the better public courses, semi-private courses, and private courses. As far as private, I am looking for a couple's membership.... however, my wife and I just graduated college last year and both played on the golf teams, so we could care less about going to social events (most wive's don't golf and just want the "chatty cathy" social deal, haha). We are looking for top notch course conditions, public or private. However, I don't want to pay more than a $5,000-$7,000 initiation fee and I'm not sure how that would effect my search for a private club.

Charleston has a few good golf courses. As for the Summerville area, Coosaw Creek Country Club, Pine Forest Country Club, Legend Oaks Country Club, Wescott Golf Course, Miler Country Club. Most are Public or semi-private. Others in the Mt Pleasant and Charleston area are Patriots Point Links, Rivertown Country Club, Dunes West, Charleston National. I think all of these would fall under your $7000.00 Initiation fees. Good luck.

Due to the current economy, there are membership deals to be found right now. Coosaw Creek CC is having an open house, member for a day event on April 4th. I think they are at www.coosawcreek.com
