The 216-yard par 3 (13th hole) at the Wyboo Golf Club in Manning, SC, is the Signature Hole and it will test your accuracy and club choice with its bunkered and water protected green.

The 216-yard par 3 (13th hole) is the signature hole at the Wyboo Golf Club in Manning, South Carolina. A beautiful setting and a challenge to all golfers.
If is isn't the squirrel's stealing our golf galls or the crows taking our snacks out of the golf carts it the geese who just didn't want to let us near our golf balls laying out in the middle of the fairway. They must have thought it was one of their eggs.

While golfing in the Florence, SC area make sure you visit the Creek Ratz restaurant for outstanding food and service. This is a must stop for everyone. Swamp Fox Golf & Wyboo Offer The Best For Golfers
Many New York State golfers are the same as their counterparts in the Northeast who just can't wait for the winter snows to melt and area golf courses to open so the best alternative they have are to travel south in late March and early April.
Thousands of golfers in the Northeast choose South Carolina as their spring golf destination and their warm-up rounds to get them ready for spring and summer golf leagues throughout the county.
For the past eight years we've joined in this now regular ritual of planning early April golf trips where we can stretch our unused golf muscles and try to remember what to do with a golf club that we packed away in our golf bags sometime in late September of early.
October.
Narrowsburg golfer Ed Guthrie, former Livingston Manor golfer now making his home in Padilla, Ky. George Korth, Port Jervis golfer Josh Jennings of Port Jervis and Golfing Highlights Syndicated Columnist Ed Townsend fortunately have been greatly blessed in handing all of our golfing, motel and breakfast requests over to the "Princess" of South Carolina golf, Lisa Haynes Suggs, golf director of Swamp Fox Country Golf in Florence, SC.
Lisa was born into the game of golf, her father was a golf pro, she started playing golf at the age of 5, scored her first hole-in-one at age 6, stayed close to the game through her high school and college years and became Swamp Fox Golf Director in 2004.
The four of us have quickly learned why Swamp Fox Golf has been labeled "Golf's Super Bargain," because when it comes to thinking golf in South Carolina you hear a lot about Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, but in the eastern part of the state you find the best bang for your buck with economical golf packages in one of the most beautiful and unhurried areas of our country.
Southern hospitality is also a big draw for Northeast golfers who get to play spring golf in 2009 for rates starting at $62 a day and that includes 18-holes of golf, cart, motel room (2 in a room) and breakfast on 32 different golf courses.

Convenience, along with economical golf packages, has made the Florence area a popular golf location . Located directly off I-95, Florence offers a proud history of providing southern hospitality. Snowbirds traveling from Northeast states or from Florida, find Florence, which is about halfway from either direction, a nice stop for a day or two of golf, which tends to break up the journey.
Swamp Fox Golf was started in 1973 when the owners invited sports writers from Canada and some of the northern states to come as their guests and experience the area with its southern hospitality and good golf offered at very reasonable rates. This started the ball rolling (not a pun) and Fox Country Golf has been going strong for 30 plus years with a mission to offer a golf package that will fit everyone's budget and offer facilities that are top flight and uncrowded and unhurried in an atmosphere of southern living at its finest.
Lodging facilities offered by Swamp Fox Country Golf include the Ramada Inn at Historic Young's Plantation (completely renovated), Days Inn, The Travelodge and Swamp Fox Campground.
I usually check with Lisa in the early fall about courses she would recommend and high on her list last November was Wyboo Golf Club at Manning, SC under the management of Golf Professional Victor Grubb.

Grubb, a PGA member, brings with him to Wyboo over 20 years experience in the golf industry. Having received his apprenticeship at Rolling Hills Country Club in Monroe, North Carolina, he has had two head professional positions in Charleston, South Carolina before coming to the Lake Marion area in 1995. Victor has been affiliated with Wyboo Golf Club since July of 2002.
Unfortunately our regular foursome was cut down to a threesome this year as the result of George Korth being called to his parents home in Livingston Manor because of the illness and ultimately the death of his father Ed Korth.
And what a treasure we found at Wyboo which has received state ratings as the ninth best course in South Carolina. Golf publications have noted that Wyboo Golf Club is one of the state's best little out of the way courses.
We can certainly endorse that statement and enjoyed our conversation with Grubb's following our 18-holes of golf. He was very proud of this facility as it has hosted a few major tournaments and has been the site for a qualification round for the South Carolina Open Amateur Tournament.
This semi-private club has 105 members but invites non-members and guest of Swamp Fox Country Golf and other area golf packages to play their course.
Located 8 miles south of Manning, this Tom Jackson Signature Design course is truly a gem in the heart of the Santee Cooper Lakes area. The course offers a superb game challenge with strategically placed bunkers, water and woods.
The TIF Eagle greens facilitate year round golfing which is always of interest to visitors from the colder climes. The layout offers enjoyment for your level of play from four tee placements. The 216-yard 13th hole with a par 3 is the signature hole and will especially test your accuracy and club choice with its bunkered and water protected green.
Blake Alford is the course superintendent.

This Tom Jackson "Signature Course" opened in October 1999 and has consistantly been namedd the best golf course in Clarendon County. It demands a variety of shots because of its rolling terrain and strategically placed bunkers. Spacious fairways are forgiving for slightly errant tee shots, but the approach shots are a different matter, demanding a high degree of accuracy due to the placement of bunkers and other hazards around the greens.
A par-72 course, Wyboo plays 6,914 yards from the championship tees with a rating of 72.2 and a slope of 124. Middle tees are 6,395 yards with a rating of 69.4 and a slope of 113, front tees are 5,718 yards with a rating of 66.1 and a slope of 107. Women's tees are 4,951 yards with a rating of 67.9 and a slope of 115.
This is a very well maintained golf facility with an attractive well-stocked pro shop and refreshment counter.
