An oceanfront campground on a palmetto-lined beach famed for its shelling is just one highlight of Edisto Beach State Park.

Only an hour from Charleston, the park also offers another campground deep in the maritime forest full of live oaks and some of the state’s tallest palmetto trees, as well as a row of comfortable cabins nestled in the woods but with a front-row view of miles of pristine marshland.

Edisto Beach State Park also offers the state’s longest system of handicapped-friendly hiking and biking trails, including one leading to a mysterious, 4,000-year-old shell midden alongside a secluded bend on a tidal creek.

The park also has an environmental education center, a “green” building full of exhibits that highlight the natural history of Edisto Island and the surrounding ACE Basin, one of the nation’s largest preserved estuaries.

Admissions: $4/adult; $2.50 SC seniors; $1.50/ child age 6-15; Free for children 5 and younger.

The Planation Course at Wyndham Ocean Ridge ~ (843) 869-1111 ~ On Edisto Beach

The sole golf course on the island enjoys an interesting history dating back to its origin in 1973. Originally known as Oristo and later as The Edisto Beach Golf Club, the course takes pride in its new name…. ‘The Plantation Course at Edisto’. After completing a total renovation of the course in 2006 and a new Pro Shop in 2007, we can insure that your golfing experience will be enjoyable and memorable. We hope the following preview will be helpful to you in making your plans for a visit to Edisto and The Plantation Course at Edisto in the near future.

The Plantation Course at Edisto was renovated by Tom Jackson and (R)Favsam Associatesenjoys in 2006. Over the years, the course has been a favorite with residents and guests alike. In 2006 the course enjoyed a major renovation when new ownership improved all aspects of the layout, including the addition of Sea Isle Supreme Paspalum Grass from tee to green.

Nestled in giant live oaks, magnolias and towering palms, any golf enthusiasts will find a very challenging, but player friendly layout. Measuring 6200 yards, distance is not as important as accuracy and one must not disregard the many water hazards. Regardless of your skill level, you are certain to enjoy the beauty of the course and surrounding areas. You will almost always see pelicans, ospreys, herons, and egrets along the course. And keep your eyes open for alligators basking in the sun along the edges of the lagoons.

The course is open to the public with daily greens fees as well as offering several membership options and a weekly play card for our vacation guests.

The Plantation Course At Edisto is an 18-hole regulation length golf course in Edisto Island, South Carolina. This short layout has 3 sets of teeboxes for a fun, but challenging golfing experience. Online tee times may be available at The Plantation Course At Edisto or at nearby golf courses, usually offered at a discount from the normal rate.
