The Walker Golf Club at Clemson<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Greenville, SC is a popular city for travelers with its restored urban center chocked with bars, restaurants, and shops. Nearby Clemson<\/a>, a small university town of 17,000 located just 30 minutes to the northwest, has a vibrant and charming small town feel. By way the our guide to the best public golf courses<\/a> it has its own Clemson Golf Trail<\/a>. While not officially recognized, we’ve identified five golf courses open to public play in the immediately surrounding area featured below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Walker Golf Course<\/a> located on the Clemson University campus leads the lineup boasting a stout layout with the five finishing holes along Lake Hartwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains 30 minutes southeast of Clemson, the Chickasaw Point Golf Course<\/a> provides a challenging layout over changing elevations and confining, tree lined fairways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Windsor at Walhalla<\/a> is another layout in the Blue Ridge foothills. It was formerly Falcon’s Lair and has seen needed improvements made by the new ownership providing a solid product at a reasonable price point. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Pickens Country Club<\/a> is 18 miles northeast of Clemson just south the the small community of Pickens. While it’s only a 9 hole layout, the set of tees for the backside provides a mostly different look to the front nine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

The Rock<\/a> is 30 miles north of Clemson on the north side of Pickens near the Table Rock State Park and Jocassee Gorges Management Area. It’s a Russell Breeden design which provides significant elevation changes along a series of narrow and broad fairway corridors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As always, should we be missing a golf course that belongs in the guide, or one that no longer qualifies as the best golf course in a given area, please let us know\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
