Multiple Local Courses Made GolfPass’s “Top 100 Walking Golf Courses” List

GolfPass recently published their list of the Top 100 Walking Courses, a ranking of the best public golf courses for walking across the country. Not surprisingly, the list included some courses in and around Charleston.

To compile the list, the GolfPass team analyzed the walking data from thousands of GolfPass reviews of more than 3,000 courses, and reached out to staff at hundreds of more facilities, ultimately identifying the best walking courses based on golf course quality and how welcoming the course is to walkers.

Golf courses that made the list in (and nearby) Charleston include:

• Ocean Course at Kiawah Island
  • A stroll by the ocean with golf clubs in hand is a rare pleasure in America. Pete Dye’s seaside masterpiece, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina, opened with a banger of a Ryder Cup in 1991 and has continued to impress ever since.
• Charleston Municipal Golf Course
  • Architect Troy Miller breathed new life into this historic layout, and Charleston Municipal Golf Course is now an incredible public playground. Bracketed by residential neighborhoods and the Stono River, with busy Maybank Highway running through it, the place locals simply call “Muni” is a thrilling slice of life in one of America’s great cities.
• Harbour Town Golf Links at Sea Pines Resort (Hilton Head Island, S.C.)
  • Harbour Town’s list of merits is as long as the biggest alligators that hang out in its lagoons, and it includes the fact that architect Pete Dye (assisted by Jack Nicklaus on his first foray into design) managed to route the course through a housing development without compromising its walkability. Carts are available, but the flatness of the property makes it a worthy walk.
