Nestled along Charleston’s low country marshes by the banks of the
Stono River sits an elegant course that opened in 1929 during the
Golden Age of golf course design.
With a recently completed course renovation, this treasure has been
preserved and now offers an experience DESIGNED TO LAST as golf
enthusiasts from around the corner, and from all corners of the globe,
come to play on the Charleston Municipal Golf Course – Jenkins
Links.
As a vibrant community amenity, the 18-hole course encompasses up
to sixty-six hundred yards of modern turf plus expanded practice
areas… where all y’all can practice…
A More Perfect Drive,
A More Perfect Chip,
A More Perfect Putt,
And Maybe Even A More Perfect Union.

“An historic course, in an historic city.
Charleston was the birth place of golf in America.”
— Mayor John Tecklenburg
“Tiger Woods, Lee Trevino, Calvin Peete – all of these guys started out their careers learning the game of golf on a municipal golf course. With what we’re doing in protecting the integrity of this place for generations to come, my hope is one day we’ll be able to add to this list with one of our own Charlestonians who started here at the Muni and went on to do great things in the game of golf.” — Troy Miller, Golf Course Architect
