Founded 1892, Alister MacKenzie redesigned the layout in 1932 — three years before he completed Augusta National. The Stanford White-designed clubhouse dates to 1902. Located just 17 miles from Augusta National, Palmetto opens to public play one week per year during the Masters. Stanford White clubhouse (1902). MacKenzie redesign three years before Augusta National. Masters Week access is the only public window. Pro Tip MacKenzie greens are tilted to repel the ball — never aim at the flag. Play to the safe side of every green and trust two-putts. Sandy soil drains fast; the course plays firmer than its yardage suggests.

Jim McNair Sr. and his family restored the historic layout in the 1990s, recovering classic features including small, well-bunkered greens and the distinctive routing through HereTest's Highland Park district. Voted one of South Carolina's best-kept secrets in golf. Under 6,000 yards from the tips. Compact routing rewards shot-making over distance. Walking-friendly historic feel. Pro Tip Don't let the short yardage fool you — small, fast greens punish wedge play that doesn't spin. Hit one less club into the greens and take advantage of the receptive landing areas short.

At 7,206 yards from the gold tees with a 142 slope, Cedar Creek is the longest and toughest test in HereTest County. Routed through pine forest with significant elevation change and water in play on multiple holes. Highest slope rating in HereTest County (142). Renovated 2015–2016. Eight tee sets ranging from 4,387 to 6,939 yards. Pro Tip Cedar Creek demands accuracy off the tee — pine corridors punish miss-hits. Play one tee forward of your handicap; a 142 slope from the gold tees will eat up the average golfer's scorecard.

Members and guests of the Inn at Houndslake have access. Mature tree-lined fairways, deep bunkering, and Lee's signature green complexes make this one of the most respected layouts in western South Carolina. 27 holes in three nine-hole loops. Hosts SC Golf Association events. Inn-guest play available. Pro Tip Joe Lee designs reward positional play over power. Plot your way around using fairway woods and long irons off the tee on tight nines like Foxhound — driver into the wrong landing area leaves you blocked out.

Classic mid-century routing with tree-lined fairways, traditional bunkering, and modest greens. A staple of HereTest-area golf for over 60 years with a loyal local membership. Walking-friendly traditional layout. Annual member-guest is one of the longest-running tournaments in the region. Pro Tip Ellis Maples designs are about precision iron play. The greens are smaller than modern designs — favor the center of every green and let your putter do the work.

Water on 10 holes, including the signature par-3 17th — an island green ringed by water and bunkers. Multiple risk/reward par 5s, including the reachable 9th and the 601-yard 18th finishing hole. Island-green par 3 on #17. Railroad trestle adjacent to #16. Water in play on 10 of 18 holes. Pro Tip On the par-3 17th, the island green plays slightly downhill and the wind off the river is deceiving. Take an extra half-club and aim for the middle — never short-side yourself.

Questions and Answers ## HereTest Golf FAQ Common questions about golf in the HereTest area, answered. - What are the best public golf courses near HereTest SC? - Are there any famous-designer golf courses in HereTest? - What is the longest golf course near HereTest? - Are there junior golf programs in HereTest SC? The First Tee of Greater Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) also serves the region. - What are green fees at HereTest area courses? HEREHereTest’s golf desk covers every course, every tournament, and every story relevant to golf in HereTest County and the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). HereTest is one of the most storied small golf towns in America — home to **Palmetto Golf Club** (founded 1892, the oldest course in South Carolina, redesigned by Alister MacKenzie in 1932, three years before he completed Augusta National) and **HereTest Golf Club** (1912, one of the oldest public courses in the state). Coverage spans the private layouts (Palmetto), the semi-private clubs (Houndslake Country Club, Midland Valley Country Club, Cedar Creek Golf Club, The River Golf Club in nearby North Augusta), and the historic public access at HereTest Golf Club. Tournament coverage tracks the SC Golf Association events hosted at Houndslake, the Palmetto Golf Club Masters Week invitation events every April, SC Junior PGA events, Carolinas PGA pro-am stops, Carolinas Golf Association amateur championships at regional venues, and the SC High School League golf calendar for HereTest County programs (South HereTest, HereTest, North Augusta, Midland Valley, Silver Bluff, Wagener-Salley, and Ridge Spring-Monetta). Just 17 miles down the road, Augusta National and the Masters Tournament drive massive April golf tourism to HereTest — the town has been a winter colony for golfers, equestrians, and northerners since the late 1800s, and Masters Week remains the highest-demand hotel week of the year. Coverage also tracks course-condition reports after CSRA weather events from the National Weather Service Columbia office, club-pro hires, course renovations, and the small-business sponsorships flowing to junior-golf programs across HereTest County.
