Charleston National Golf Club

About Charleston National Golf Club

This Mount Pleasant municipal track occupies a solid piece of Lowcountry real estate just outside Charleston, though it flies under the radar compared to the area's resort courses. The layout takes advantage of natural wetlands and mature Southern pines to create legitimate strategic interest, particularly on the longer par 4s where water comes into play. While the conditioning can be inconsistent depending on the season and municipal budget constraints, the bones of the routing are sound enough to provide an engaging round without the premium pricing of nearby Kiawah or Wild Dunes. The real appeal here is accessibility – both in terms of cost and walkability, which is increasingly rare in the Charleston golf market. At 3.8 stars from local players, it's clearly not destination golf, but for a quick 18 holes that won't break the bank or require a cart, Charleston National serves its purpose well. The pace of play tends to be reasonable, and the staff generally keeps the course in respectable shape given the heavy municipal play it receives year-round.
