Hole Naming and Descriptions            Front Nine  |   Back Nine   |  Back to Scorecard

Hole No. 10 - Repose
A rest taken after battle is known as a repose.  As you recover from the front nine gather a little courage as you play this short par four.

Hole No. 11 - Tides Meet
Just south of the Plantation, the Stono and Edisto Rivers meet.  Swirling and unpredictable tides are the result.  Be careful as you play this difficult par 3.

Hole No. 12 - Redoubt
The Battle of Stono Ferry took place June 20,1779.  Remnants of a redoubt used as fortification in the battle were found on this hole and later reconstructed to the right of the fairway.  This military fortification was a part of the British and Hessian defenses.  It is also the beginning of Monument Row.

Hole No. 13 - Battery Wilkes
During the Civil War, Nine Confederate soldiers and the two cannons they manned guarded the Stono River.  The lonely station was known as Battery Wilkes.  A rail line also ran parallel with the river.  The Charleston and Savannah railroad was a vital link between the two port cities.

Hole No. 14 - The Crossing
The namesake of the golf course is also its signature hole.  The par 3 peninsula tee is located on the original ferry landing for the plantation.  Goods and crops would be transported across the Stono River to Johns Island.  Take in the view and enjoy one of the best holes in the Lowcountry.

Hole No. 15 - Point Pleasant
As you leave the river holes and make the turn for home take one last look from the grove of live oaks and magnolias between the fourteenth and fifteenth holes.  We think you will agree the view is quite pleasant.

Hole No. 16 - Retreat
This difficult par 4 can wreak havoc on your round if not careful.  Play smart by keeping the tee ball left or you may be retreating to the tee for another shot.

Hole No. 17 - Rattlesnake
The Rattlesnake was the name of a South Carolina Navy Frigate that was sunk in the Stono River.  It engaged in a battle May 1779 with British soldiers.  The land sea battle ended with a British retreat.  The American commander was unable to free the Rattlesnake from a sand bar.  The ship was abandoned and set on fire.

Hole No. 18 - Independence
Independence is named in honor of the efforts of the founding fathers and the patriots that sacrificed themselves for the freedoms we enjoy today.  The Battle of Stono Ferry was a bloody battle with over 300 casualties in two hours.
