Colonial Charters Golf & Country Club, Longs, S.C., owner Mike Matheny initially planned to close his course for less than a year to make alterations that would allow for additional housing on the property, says an article in the Sun News.
What he did was take a lot more time to create a lot more course. The layout is opening with a new name and a much different look.
The Club now boasts a 6,486-yard par-71 Rick Robbins-designed Palmetto Greens Golf and Country Club. The layout features more water hazards, a pair of man-made waterfalls, a lot more open space on and around fairways, and L93 bentgrass greens with more undulation and surrounding mounds as a backdrop.
The course has been closed for 33 months and is scheduled to temporarily reopen on March 13.
