Description: This club opened in 1960 and has been a popular golfing destination for four decades. All the greens were rebuilt to enhance this George Cobb classic. Those who knew and loved the Surf before the renovation will appreciate the way architect John LaFoy retained the course’s classic appeal while adding new challenges for golfers of all abilities. One avid local golfer described the Surf simply: “Traditional design without gimmicks. Strong par 4s merit playing.” The Surf Club plays host to the Carolina Open. The 6,360-yard, par 72 Surf Club course costs $93 to play; no walking.
