Wedgefield Plantation Golf Course, CLOSED 2016

Wedgefield Plantation Golf Course is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Georgetown, South Carolina.

The course, designed by J Porter Gibson, opened for play in 1973.

The course was built on land that had been a rice plantation established in the mid-1700's. Numerous oak trees line the fairways. The most difficult hole is #5, a 440-yard, par 4, with a water hazard that comes into play alongside the fairway.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 7,072 yards. From the forward tees, the course plays to a par-73 and measures 5,254 yards. The longest hole on the course is #4, a par-5 that plays to 536 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 13, a par-3 that plays to 203 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 5, the 440 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Oakhurst Country Club is # 13, the par-3 that measures 213 yards from the tips.

The course closed in June 2016.

The course went into foreclosure. The bank sold the property, 165 acres, clubhouse, swimming pool, and other structures for a reported $650,000. The new owners plan to lease out the golf course, Manor House restaurant and bar, and an Olympic-size swimming pool—possibly through three separate agreements. The course may reopen in 2018.
