Springfield
Golf Club has quickly made a name
for itself since opening in 2001.
The 6,906-yard, par-72, Clyde Johnston-designed
layout offers a picturesque and testing
tract of holes that will challenge
all levels of golfing ability. Located
on a heavily wooded and hilly site
just over the South Carolina border
in Fort Mill, and features four holes
that flank Sugar Creek -- affording
players spectacular views - and includes
13 holes that play across and along
perennial streams that feed into the
Catawba River.
The
Ron Garl designed Regent Park Golf
Club would no doubt rank as one
of the Rock Hill and Charlotte area's
most challenging tests of golf. This
beautiful course that borders the
North Carolina and South Carolina
state line travels through the two
states and three different counties.
Don't let the 6,785 yards from the
tips catch you off guard, it is sloped
at a muscular 138. No need to be a
hero here!
Waterford
Golf Club is a true shot maker's
course. This 6,913 yard, slopes at
132 from the tips is a Hale Irwin
designed course nestled along the
Catawba River and features towering
pines and hardwoods lining its gently
rolling fairways. With a design that
harkens back to the traditional schemes
of the 1920's and the Golden Age of
Architecture in golf.
The
Fort Mill Golf Club might be
good choices the opening rounds of
your Rock Hill experience. Fort Mill's
front 9 was designed in 1947 by of
golf's legendary architects Donald
Ross, with George Cobb completing
the back 9 some 12 years later. The
course stretches back to 6,800 yards
from the tips with a slope rating
of 133. A number of the Bermuda fairways
are tree lined but for the most part
the fairways are generous. As with
most courses attached to the name
Ross it is the approach to the greens
that is the difference between a good
and a great round.
Tega
Cay Golf Club located on Lake
Wiley has three distinctively different
nine hole courses and with plenty
of elevation changes – often
considered rare for South Carolina
Golf but that make for one great golf
experience.
