Where Mike Strantz built
7 courses across 3 states · densest in South Carolina (3). a regional run — a road trip or two covers it.
Built on a man-made ridge near Charleston, Bulls Bay rises to panoramic Lowcountry views and was the last course Strantz designed before his death. An intensely private capstone.
Strantz conjured windswept Ireland out of inland Virginia with fescue-cloaked mounds, vast bunkers, and severe contours. Renovated and reopened in 2019.
A sister act to Royal New Kent, Stonehouse tumbles through dramatic elevation change and namesake stone outcroppings. Heavily mounded with ravine carries and big greens.
Routed straight through boulders, creeks, and ridges at the edge of the Uwharrie forest, Tot Hill Farm is raw and punishing. Restored with fresh zoysia greens and reopened in 2023.
Mike Strantz built a short, strategic stunner on an old rice plantation, with a clubhouse approach under a canopy of live oaks. The par-3-heavy closing stretch finishes right by the porch.
Mike Strantz carved this out of an old quarry and held nothing back, with blind shots, chasms, and greens stretched into shapes that shouldn't exist. You'll either love it or argue about it the whole drive home.
Caledonia's wilder sister course, also by Mike Strantz, sprawls across big sandy waste areas and massive greens. Width off the tee, drama around the greens, and great value.
