The Aiken Golf Club, Aiken, South Carolina

The Aiken Golf Club was originally built in 1912. It was the first golf course in America to feature tees especially for women. Playing it is loads of fun. One of the greens is a double-green, sharing the 1st and the 17th hole. Many of your shots are played through a cathedral of pines, and the pine needle rough is divine. There are many large sand waste areas that you will be required to shoot over. It is all very picturesque, and reminds me of a Donald Ross or Alister MacKenzie design.
