Everything You Need To Know About The Golf Courses in Mt. Pleasant

Kyle Blankenship • November 4, 2021

When people hear Charleston, SC they think of many things...from great food to historic downtown buildings to beautiful beaches.  But one of my favorite things about living here is the number of incredible golf courses that I have the opportunity to play! Today I'm going to take you to each of the courses located just over the Ravenel Bridge in Mt Pleasant. 


Snee Farm Country Club

Located in the heart of Mt Pleasant on the beautiful, 200 year old Snee Farm Plantation, this is the only fully private golf club in Mt Pleasant.  This club is home to a 6,800 yard, par 72 course designed by George Cobb that offers multiple holes with picturesque marsh views.  It also provides golfers with a full driving range, short game practice area complete with multiple bunkers, as well as a chipping and putting green. 


Rivertowne Country Club

Located off Highway 41 in South Mount Pleasant, Rivertowne Country Club is home to Charleston’s only Arnold Palmer Signature golf course. This semi-private club is situated among scenic marshlands with 13 holes along the Wando River and Horlbeck Creek. The 18-hole championship course measures nearly 7,200 yards from the back tees making it the longest course in Mt Pleasant.  Awarded 4.5 stars by Golf Digest, RiverTowne has hosted LPGA tournaments and was named Charleston Golf Course of the Year in 2015.

Dunes West Golf Club

Right across Highway 41 from Rivertowne Country Club is Dunes West Golf Club. Nationally acclaimed by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest as a “Top 10 Resort Course”, Dunes West’s championship golf course designed by Arthur Hills takes full advantage of its spectacular Lowcountry setting.  This semi-private, par 72 course plays 6,871 yards from the tips, but has tees starting at 5,100 welcoming players of all handicaps. The opening holes have generous landing areas and beautiful green settings complete with the undulation and bunkering that are the Arthur Hills signature. The back nine features some beautiful marsh and water views finishing at the 18th hole’s challenging finish on a dual green split by the marshes of Wagner Creek.


Charleston National Golf Club

Located right off Highway 17 in Mt Pleasant, Charleston National is a semi private course that was uniquely designed by Rees Jones. Carved along the intracoastal waterway, it takes you through natural wetlands, lagoons and through a pine and oak tree forest. The result is a championship caliber golf course with some of the best views on the southeastern coast. A par 72 course that stretches just under 7,100 yards from the tips it will give even scratch golfers a challenge from the first tee all the way to the 18th green. 

Patriots Point Links

A South Carolina tradition since 1979, Patriots Point Links is a public course designed by William Byrd, located right on the Charleston Harbor. It provides you with incredible views of Fort Sumter, Shem Creek, the Ravenel Bridge and the historic downtown skyline. Giving players the option of four sets of tees ranging from 5,100 to 7,000 yards, players of all skill levels can enjoy playing this par 72 links style course. It is also home to the perennially awarded “Best Par-3 in the Lowcountry” 17th hole, an island green that overlooks the Charleston Harbor. This is a golf hole that will not be forgotten! The ever-changing wind that typically sweeps across the harbor can make the course play take on a completely different perspective from one round to the next.
