Charleston AFB-Charleston NWS Joint Base, South Carolina

Charleston Joint Base has two 18-hole golf courses.  The Wrenwoods Golf Course at the Air Base and the Redbank Plantation Golf Course at the Naval Weapons Station.  Both courses feature all the hallmarks of a South Carolina golf course.  Fairly flat but a tranquil and pleasant golf experience.

The Wrenwoods Golf Course:   This 18-hole, Par 72 course plays at 6,634 yards from the back tees.  The course was designed by the legendary George Cobb and was opened in 1966 with a course rating of 72.1 and a slope of 134.  The Wrenwood is also the state bird.

The course has lush Tif-Way Bermuda grass fairways and rough, and Tri-Dwarf Bermuda grass greens, combined with a multiple array of teeing areas, allow golfers of all skill levels to enjoy the course.  Southern Pine trees lining the fairways and guarded greens along with sand bunkers make the course a real challenge.  There are 18 original and distinctive holes that complement the unique terrain.

The Redbank Plantation Golf Course:   This 18-hole, Par 70 course plays at 5,800 yards from the back tees and was designed by Military Personnel.  It opened in 1953 and has a course rating of 65.6 and a slope of 123.

The course was designed to use the rolling terrain nestled between the huge live oak trees and the bountiful wildlife.  Lush wide open fairways and natural marshland surround you as you play this challenging picturesque course with majestic water front views.

Both golf courses are open to the public.
