Course Overview
Daniel Island Club in Charleston, South Carolina, unfolds across an 18-hole championship layout that merges the serenity of Lowcountry landscape with thoughtful design catering to players at all stages. This private club course features a parkland style enriched with towering pines, sparkling water hazards, and immaculate fairways that wind through gently rolling terrain. The course offers a natural flow, challenging players to balance precision and strategy, while the coastal breezes from nearby waterways bring an added test to shot execution.
Traversing Daniel Island’s course, golfers encounter a series of well-guarded greens flanked by bunkers that demand carefully calibrated approaches.

Have been there many times over the years with clients for dinner and to play golf. I have sold a lot of houses in Daniel Island Park too. It is really hard to beat the Daniel Island Club amenities, service quality of food and golf. We played in a charity golf tournament on Monday. Service was top shelf. Golf course unfortunately is in really bad shape due to the harsh winter we had. All the fairways on the course I played were dead. They will be replanting them soon and I’m sure it will be back up to par quickly.
