An Arnold Palmer Gem in Upstate South Carolina
Musgrove Mill features an Arnold Palmer Gem in Upstate South Carolina. Consistently ranked among Golfweek’s “100 Best Modern Courses in America” and holding the No. 19 spot in GolfDigest’s “The Best Golf Courses in South Carolina,” golf enthusiasts from all over voyage to Musgrove Mill Golf Club for an experience they’ll talk about for years to come.
Is this a typical Arnold Palmer design? In some respects, yes. One of Palmer’s design philosophies involve waste areas around green complexes, and when utilized they seem to grate island greens.
“There’s only like 10 to 15 bunkers, actual bunkers that are around the holes out here,” says Director of Golf Jeff Tallman. “But, you know, he wanted to keep it natural. You know, there’s no signage out here. Everybody just knows where to go because they come down here and play often enough. So, it’s just a beautiful sanctuary.”
That the green complexes themselves, on average, are smaller than what we’re used to seeing. On a Palmer-designed golf course.
Another thing that sets Musgrove mill apart from so many other courses, no two golf holes are alike. Each one has its own design traits, yet together they make up a perfect routing of 18 fun and challenging holes of golf with its four sets of tees. This golf course will challenge the best ball strikers, while at the same time offering up a fun and rewarding round of golf for the higher handicap player.
Tallman says, “It’s not how far you hit the golf ball. It’s how far you fly the golf ball, and the greens are receptive. But once again, if you miss the green, there’s no bump and run shots. All the short game is in the air. So, you need your 60 and your 58 and your 52-degree wedge to get around this place.”
