Located in Fort Mill, South Carolina, the name of this golf course is what initially grabbed my attention: The Regent Park Golf Club! The idea of golfing at a club with the same name as Canada’s first public housing project really appealed to me.
Add to this the fact that the course was amazing! It reminded me a little of Osprey Valley Resorts here in Ontario, as it’s an under-priced public facility in great shape and provides great fun to golfers who aren’t afraid of a little risk and reward.
What’s also hilarious about this course is that it was built on land that was once owned by Jim and Tammy-Faye Baker, the crazy television evangelists who went bankrupt just over a decade ago. Adjacent to the course is a Bibleland theme park that was originally going to expand to the land that is now the course, but the Baker’s bankruptcy changed all that.
To quote from their website: Regent Park Golf Club is located 12 miles south of downtown Charlotte, one mile off of Interstate 77. Bordering the North Carolina / South Carolina state line, the course travels through the two states and three different counties. The course was designed by Ron Garl and is Charlotte’s most challenging and beautiful 18-hole public course. Regent Park also offers the most complete practice facility in the Charlotte area.
