Longest and toughest course in Florence at 7,062 yards. Maples' routing rewards accurate long-iron play; the closing par-4s are among the most demanding stretches in the Pee Dee. Full country-club facilities alongside golf. Longest course in Florence. Ellis Maples design pedigree. Pro Tip Maples greens are subtle — the break rarely matches the eye. Play every putt inside 15 feet as straighter than you think and you'll drop more of them.

Voted Best Course in the Pee Dee eight consecutive years (2018-2025). Three nine-hole loops let members and public players mix routings. Known for immaculate conditioning and the toughest set of par-3s in Florence. 27 holes. Best in Pee Dee 2018-2025. Public tee times available. Pro Tip Ask which two nines are set up for the day — the Garl short nine has the trickiest greens and often plays as the toughest of the three despite being the shortest.

John LaFoy led a full renovation that preserved the classic Ross-style greens complexes and added modern drainage and irrigation. One of the most historic layouts in the Pee Dee. Ross-style greens. LaFoy renovation preserved original character. Pro Tip LaFoy restored Ross's crowned greens — never fly the pin. Land the ball 10 feet short and let it release; approach shots that carry too far will roll off the back every time.

Now Eberle family-owned and operated as Olde English Trail. Traditional public course with rolling terrain and generous fairways — one of the more forgiving 18-hole layouts in Florence. Family-owned.

Questions and Answers ## Florence Golf FAQ Common questions about golf in the Florence area, answered. - What are the best public golf courses near Florence SC? - Are there any famous-designer golf courses in Florence? - What is the longest golf course near Florence? - Are there junior golf programs in Florence SC? The First Tee of Greater Pee Dee also serves the region. - What are green fees at Florence area courses? HEREFlorence’s golf desk covers every course, every tournament, and every story relevant to golf in Florence County and the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Florence 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 **Florence 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 Florence 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 Florence County programs (South Florence, Florence, 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 Florence — 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 Florence County.
