Golf Guide: Lakelands Region - SC
Tara Golf Course
The Tara Golf Course masterfully meanders through the hillsides of the Sumter National Forest, Lake Thurmond, the Little River Blueway, and the established community of Savannah Lakes Village. The golf experience enhanced by neighboring wildlife including large bird populations, deer, raccoons, red-tipped hawks, and frequent bald eagle sightings. The rolling topography of the land is gradually exposed throughout your round, with stately oaks and pines perfectly framing each hole. The signature feature of the course is a large shared green for holes #9 and #18 overlooking Lake Thurmond.
Monticello Golf Club
Monticello is geographically blessed with plenty of land surrounding the course. Clark took great advantage of this and created a course that unfolds hole by hole like an epic novel. Clark was able to weave the course through mature tree stands and harmoniously blend the topography into an exciting round of golf. The course's elements of playability and aesthetics are dramatically impacted by the Strom Thurmond Reservoir, and two manmade lakes that come into play on the back nine. Though the course might be light on the pocket book, it will challenge the mental fortitude of the greatest of golfers.
