Houndslake Country Club
Houndslake Country Club was built in the early 1970's and centers around a 18-hole Championship golf course designed by Joe Lee, who planned the likes of Doral, La Costa, Cog Hill and Disney World. The course provides pleasure to the average golfer and a memorable challenge to the champion. Each nine measures a little over 3,300 yards and they each play to a par of 36. Houndslake Country Club was designed to offer versatility for both the weekend golfer and the professional. Houndslake Country Club has hosted the 1977 and 1981 SCGA Amateur Championship, the 1982 and 1984 SCGA Four Ball Championship, the 2001 and 2002 South Carolina PGA Pro Junior, several US Amateur Qualifiers, The Women's Transnational Amateur and the Women's Eastern Golf Association Senior Championship.
