Quixote Club
Overview
Quixote Club, an hour east of Columbia, is built over the top of an old country club course, although nothing of that routing remains. North Carolina-based architect Kris Spence and Jack Nicklaus II created a gorgeous walking course with new holes twisting and turning elegantly through exposed sandscapes and stands of oak and pine. The name of the club is taken from the owners’ altruistically audacious mission of providing funding for a charter school that hopes to turn around the educational opportunities of up to 2,000 local students.

“Significant investment made here in remodeling an existing course adding new holes. A pleasant experience to play there and felt welcome as a guest. The back nine was fun to play."

Review
“Quixote Club in South Carolina offers a dynamic and strategic golf experience. The course features several high-risk, high-reward stretches, most notably holes 3-5 and 16-18, which provide excitement early and late in the round. A strong collection of drivable par 4s adds to the playability and fun, encouraging aggressive yet calculated decision-making. Large, single oaks strategically shape several holes, requiring precision off the tee and careful shot shaping. Many greens are subtly crowned, making approach shots and putting particularly demanding. Throughout the round, players must think strategically, as the course rewards creativity and execution."

“A very fun, playable with some good risk/reward holes (specifically 3 and 16), that can be challenging when the wind picks ups. Definitely jump on the opportunity to play if you get the chance."
