The Site: Chechessee Creek Club is ranked 29th., in Golf World’s top-fifty private clubs in the nation, Chechessee Creek Club offers a classical ‘Low Country’ golf experience. Measuring barely 6600 yards, the Bill Coore - Ben Crenshaw gem lends itself to old-country golf. Chechessee is a walking course, designed in the old tradition with the next tee no more than a soft wedge away. It appears benign, some would call it a cake-walk, until you reach its small, contoured, elevated Ross-like greens. Students may have the opportunity to play-other courses in the area, Old Taby Golf Links, Secession Golf Club, Belfair, depending on availability. Chechessee Creek has a full service driving range, bunker, chipping and putting greens.
