Patriots Point Links
About Patriots Point Links
Patriots Point Links sits along Charleston Harbor in Mount Pleasant, a links-style layout designed by Willard Byrd that has been in play since 1979. The par-72 course offers four sets of tees stretching from roughly 5,100 to 7,000 yards, giving a range of lengths for different abilities.
The signature hole is the par-3 17th, an island green set against the harbor with views of Fort Sumter, Shem Creek and the downtown Charleston skyline. Wind coming off the water is a constant factor and can change how the course plays considerably from one round to the next.
