Shannon Greens Golf Club
Take on a SC staple with today’s feature: $18 for 18 Holes with Cart at Shannon Greens Golf Club in Manning near Sumter ($49 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until June 1, 2016!)
Located just a short drive from Columbia, today’s feature course, Shannon Greens Golf Club in Manning, is exactly why golfers from across the world consider Carolina-style golf some of the best. Beautifully laid out on an exceptional piece of Clarendon County real estate, Shannon Greens’ impeccably constructed challenge of golf is a must-play for any serious golfer in the Palmetto State.
Playing almost 6,500 yards from the back set of tees, Shannon Greens is a perfect mix of playability and challenge that will delight golfers of all skill levels. With consistent changes in elevation, large groupings of mature trees, and generous areas of water in play several times throughout the 18, Shannon Greens is designed to test every single club in your bag.
Though many of the hole layouts are fairly straightforward, supreme strategists will quickly pick up on the fact that staying in the middle of the fairway is key off the tee. The deceptive greens may seem like a welcome relief once you reach them, but make no mistake: you’ll need to bring your putter’s “A” game if you want to walk away with bogey or better. Formulate a course management plan and stick to it strictly, and this 71.9/122-rated course may just yield a low score on the day.
The course’s most standout feature, the island green on the exceptional 16th hole, is not only the course’s most picturesque test, it’s also its most difficult. Hit the green without losing a ball to the vast area of water, and you’ll be all set for smooth sailing right on through 18.
Along with the well-manicured golf course, Shannon Greens features plenty of great amenities designed to round out your day of fun. Get in some essential practice at the full-service driving range, and refuel your tank at the turn or after your round at the delicious snack bar.
Featuring five lengthy par-5s, five abbreviated par-3s, and still playing as a par-72, this Home of the Island Green isn’t a course you’ll want to let slip by. Don’t procrastinate and lose your chance – reserve your round now!
