On the heels of its recent Golfweek honors, the Hammock Coast Golf Trail’s top courses are in the spotlight once more! Three of our designs have been selected by Golf Digest for inclusion in its 2025-2026 ranking of the “Best Golf Courses in South Carolina,” led by Caledonia at No. 29.
Joining Caledonia among the Hammock Coast’s leading “Best in State” entries are True Blue (33rd) and TPC Myrtle Beach (36th). These renowned tracks join eight total venues in the broader Grand Strand area among the Palmetto State’s best.
The top course in the Palmetto State’s rankings remains The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, followed by four private facilities including Congaree Golf Club, Yeamans Hall Club, The Tree Farm and Old Barnwell Golf Club. Harbour Town Golf Links (6th) joins The Ocean Course as the only public access courses in South Carolina’s overall top 10.
Golf Digest’s biennial “Best in State” rankings are based on more than 80,000 evaluations over a 10-year cycle from its panelists, who have assessed courses based on shot options, challenge, design variety, conditioning, aesthetics, character and fun.
