Design/Layout
Stono Ferry is on the Intercoastal outside of John's Ferry, and west of Charleston about 30 minutes. The course is a beauty, designed by Ron Garl, and is 6701 yards from the tips, 138 slope, and is a tough slog with water in play, either marsh or ponds on a lot of holes. A good number of risk/reward type shots on this course, and the opportunity to score low, but not on every hole. The front nine is more of a traditional parkland course through pine tree lined fairways, while the back is routed along the Intercoastal, more open and exposed, and very scenic. Nice conditioning, a real test, a bit expensive, but in a nice setting. An added feature are relics from The Battle at Stono Ferry was fought on these grounds in 1779 scattered about the course.

I really like the course, it's a pretty basic Lowcountry type layout but except for a couple of housing-squeezed holes here and there it has a bit more room off the tee than some courses in the area. And the little stretch of three holes along the river are beautifully scenic. But hole for hole it seems pretty well thought out with a certain amount of subtlety, not quite plain vanilla although nothing terribly special. It also tends to be pretty well run in terms of the staff and the logistics of the place (comfy clubhouse with pretty decent food). And it does drain slightly better than the typical Lowcountry rice paddy. Not great but better than some courses.
