Broomsedge debuts as a bold, sandy playground of strategy and variety—one of the South's most exciting new private courses. The modern routing, firm turf, and engaging green complexes guarantee a memorable test for architecture fans and adventurous shotmakers alike.
Ask about alternate routings before you play — the course has 20 green sites for 18 holes and was deliberately built to allow cross-country and alternate-loop golf.
Broomsedge is a masterclass in modern strategic design, marrying the sandy inland contours of the South Carolina sandhills with minimalist construction and bold, free-flowing holes. Kyle Franz and Mike Koprowski have delivered a course that revels in natural movement, with wide, rumpled fairways, dramatic elevation shifts, and green complexes that invite creative approaches. Every shot engages with firm, fast surfaces and directional winds, encouraging players to explore multiple lines of attack and rewards thoughtful risk-taking—from the opening tee to the unforgettable, sand-surrounded finishing holes.
Kyle Franz’s vision at Broomsedge channels the best of Sandhills golf, blending respect for the land’s natural flow with sophisticated modern strategy.
The longest par 4 at Broomsedge, this hole unfurls across undulating sandhills, playing every inch of its daunting yardage. Accuracy and control are vital, as the fairway subtly ripples and the approach must negotiate swales to a perched, severe green.
Favor the side of the fairway that best sets up your approach angle. Play for position and accept par is an excellent result.
Drifting off the fairway brings sandy native areas and uneven lies into play, while missing long traps you in punishing runoffs below the green.
Firm, fast, and meticulously kept fairways and greens with flexible pin placements and natural sandy waste areas.
Round times tend to be brisk, with the club emphasizing quick play and low group volumes.
Understated yet energized—members and guests share a mutual love of golf and architecture.
Traditional golf attire required; soft spikes only.
Practice bump-and-runs and mid-iron chips to prepare for the rumpled surrounds and runoffs around Broomsedge’s greens.
Plan conservative lines off the tee, especially into the wind and on the longer par 4s and 3s.
Walking shoes are a must; throw in a windbreaker and expect sandy lies on even the best-executed shots.
