Teeing it up around charming Aiken, South Carolina, once named “Best small town of the South” by Southern Living, is about to get quite a bit more, well, charming.
Two new layouts – Old Barnwell and Zac Blair’s Tree Farm – will join a regional roster of layouts that includes classical treasure Palmetto Golf Club and the uber-upscale Sage Valley. The new kids on the block will offer tee times of a different stripe.
Ground has been broken on Old Barnwell, a planned twin-course complex with an expected 2023 opening of the initial private eighteen. The structure and approach on the second course are still under discussion, but expect it to be a Bryson DeChambeau drive different from the first.
