Melrose Golf Club - Reviews

"It's a course where each hole tends to outdo the last, and there isn't a weak link out there. Most folks who've played here a lot tend to say their favorites are holes that aren't even along the ocean. It's a real tribute to the outstanding quality of the whole design. It's a course no one ever gets tired of.”

This Jack Nicklaus-designed signature course sweeps along the Atlantic Ocean, providing challenging play and stunning views. The three finishing holes hug the ocean, and number 18 seems to lunge straight into it with the beach in play the entire hole.

The Melrose course, named after the Melrose mansion that once occupied this swathe of land during South Carolina's antebellum era, is most recognized for its finishing three ocean holes. Most notable is the Par-4 18th that features a split fairway dissected by an islet of trees and bunkers, and is bordered on the right by a spectacular ocean vista. Although the final three holes are the most celebrated, the landward links are certainly not mediocre. The course plays tough, as Nicklaus designs often do, and challenges golfers with a combination of water, wetlands, sand, and trees. The Melrose's splendor presents an awe-inspiring golf experience sure to be reminisced upon for years to come.
