Heritage Club

Incorporating centuries old live oaks, lakes and marshes, this course follows the land’s natural contours and features wide rolling fairways with spacious undulating greens. You’ll pass by a 19th-century cemetery of a “rice prince’s” family. There are countless 300-year-old Spanish-moss covered live oaks and residual ponds that once irrigated rice. The course reeks of the Old South upon arrival with a monstrous, two-story, plantation-estate-looking, white-pillared clubhouse and vivid flowering plants across the front. Those modern-day automotive contraptions are parked at a discrete distance and a shuttle ferries golfers and bags. The par-71 course is missing a par 5 on the front, but it still exceeds 7,000 yards from the tips and is 5,201 yards from the reds.This par 71 Dan Maples-designed course will be host to the “Father and Son Team Classic” in July 2013.  Your tee shot on the 175-yard par 3 13th hole is threatened by water surrounding the green. The course gives you one warm-up hole before it throws a creative par-5 second hole at you. The second hole offers two fairways, the safer but longer route to the right avoids the water carry until a short chip shot to the green, or the shorter but more perilous left fairway that requires a good drive and strong second shot for a nice, dry, short iron to the elevated green over a raft of bunkers. Built on a rice plantation, Heritage Club’s oak-lined drive leads to a plantation style clubhouse.   With large undulating greens and rolling fairways, the course challenges both the junior and senior players.  The lakes and marshlands create a Low country beauty that is unmatched as the golfer finishes on a 470-yard par 5 and returns to the clubhouse.
