Located within a huge 427-acre residential estate, the fairways of the Cherry Blossom Golf Club are routed around the sparkling waters of Lane’s Run Creek.
Cherry Blossom Golf Club takes some pride in the low number of bunkers that players will experience during a round; just 38, with a mere 15 on the front nine. That said, a few of the ponds on the back will more than make up for what’s missing in sand.
Although the par five at No. 9 may have a small green-side pond, the first 11 holes will serve strategic golf without severe penalization for those who go off-line. No. 12 may be a shock to the system, an island green par three appearing after such a comfortable first half. No. 13 also features a sizable lake along the right side.
That lake makes a grand return during the closing hole, a 440-yard par four that features a forced carry, with the water remaining all along the right-hand side of the hole. Of the course’s minimal bunker total, nine of them will occur on this final hole. Clyde Johnston has designed many courses in the Hilton Head-area that display the tendency toward a plurality of bunkers and water hazards. He kept a humble mindset throughout the majority of Cherry Blossom, seemingly letting it all out on the final hole.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
