Charleston National Golf Club
About
Marshland and natural lagoons make Charleston National a real gem to play. Architect Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead strategically placed wooden bridges over the natural areas which sometimes range from tee to green. Once tree laden, it's now a little more open, which may be to your advantage. A trip to Charleston National should be considered by any serious golfer visiting the Charleston area.

Great course
Real nice course that was in great condition. Some very challenging holes that make you really think about the next shot. Very nice practice facility and pro shop. Definitely one of the must visit courses for golfers coming to the charleston area.
Worth the drive
We elected to make the 40 mile trip from Kiawah Island to Charleston National as we had played this course 2 years ago while attending another wedding in Charleston
Great course and the only reason I gave less thank four stars for the course conditions is the greens were recently aerated and still bumpy.
Terrific value for the price
Food ok, facilities are dated but in good condition with some staff very friendly and others below average
Would go back and definitely recommend.
Tough course, quick pace
My brother and I played Charleston National on a Saturday Morning at 8:40am. It was not crowded and we were not paired up with anyone else, so the pace was quite fast. We finished the course in 3:45. Tough course and was is great condition but unfortunately, they were airating the greens. So putting was a little tough. I'd there again using the GolfNow discount of $45 like I did this time
Great course
I liked this course a lot! It was challenging but it was very fair. The fairways and greens were in great shape! There is plenty of water and swamps all around. I look forward to my return to this course.
Local Knowledge
This course could have been a lot more fun, if someone would have provided us some Local Knowledge about playing the course before we started. Several of the holes on this course were blind from the tees and one could not determine where to send the tee ball, and/or how long to hit the tee ball. Flags did not have reflectors, so the range finders did not work. There we several holes where there was no landing location for shorter hitters. The greens were extremely slow but this was most likely due to the sever slopes of the greens.
1st Rees Jones Design/Cool Layout
Showed up late for my tee time so had zero warmup swings but probably was a good thing. Had no time to think about my swing only about placement of tee shots. This course was very much a position golf course. Hit the wrong club off the tee and get out of position "good luck"! If you don't like having to carry marsh areas then please stay away. There was lots of that but this added to the beauty of the golf course. The back 9 was a beast from the Championship tees. Lots of tight tee shots into the wind! The greens were outstanding and not flat so bring your good putter:) Shot my lowest round here on the trip so I will be back in the future. Will play again in the future when I return.

Now remember why I liked playing this course after not playing it for several years.
Must play if in Mt Pleasant area
Course was in good condition considering the time of year. Greens were in very good condition although I don't remember having a flat putt all day. Beautiful views with many holes having marsh views. Only issue was the range is not near the clubhouse.
Excellent condition, challenging
Pace of play was pretty slow. Some sharp dog legs made it a little tough being unfamiliar with the course
Great Morning - not at work
Very friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere to start off a great 3.5 hours of play. Course was in excellent condition and as always full of challenging holes. Great value and fun.
Must play
This is one of my favorites and I try to play once a year when I am down. Course is always in excellent shape and did not dissapoint. Greens outstanding. Booked through gold ow and got A great price played in under 4 hours got out early. It is truly a gem and I love it.
Charleston National
Great layout! Challenging but not punitive. You will be required to use every club In your bag! I will definitely play there again!
Rees Jones not my favorite Architect
Fairways were a little tight for my liking, not a big fan of Rees Jones design in the past, nothing has changed after playing Charleston National. Sand in bunkers was excellent, greens rolled consistent through the course. Maintenance could have been a bit better.
An ok vacation course
We played during vacation to SC. The course was nice and had deer on the courae. Beautiful houses around the course, looking forward to seeing how other courses compare.
Sneaky Difficult
I played from the White/Member tees, which are rated as 70/124. If you are used to playing on a course with this slope rating, you will be surprised at how demanding the course is. If playing for the first time, there are several holes that require course knowledge to stay out of trouble.
Kiawah at Mt. Pleasant.
Finish holes very closely resemble the ocean course. Course fairways and greens were in phenomenal shape. One or two weak tee boxes at the competition tees, but we're you par 4s and 5s where they did not effect play. Staff was friendly and helpful.
I'm a 4 handicap.
Nice course, even in challenging conditions.
Beware of soggy fairways, especially after a week of rain. Beautiful vistas, particularly on back nine. Greens in great shape, Bring lots of extra balls unless you hit very straight.
Course was a soggy mess
For the price of greens fees ($56) its only an average course. Have played this course before when visiting Charleston area, unfortunately this trip they had rain the night before and the course was not in the best condition.
Great views and friendly staff
I had a Warm greeting when you enter the clubhouse by all of the staff. I told them it was my first time playing the course and they filled me in on the tricky holes. Golf course was in great shape. Thanks charelston national.
