Pleasant Patriots Point Links 100 Club House Drive Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 843-881-0042 "Overlooking Charleston Harbor." One round on this harborside links course will confirm its popularity. A subtle and rolling course, the Links' pleasing appearance belies its most devilish feature: the winds blowing from the harbor. This factor gives it a certain unpredictability, especially on hole #17, a short 3 par whose green reaches into the harbor, giving golfers a real test for birdie. The constantly changing natural conditions of Patriots Point Links, coupled with the breathtaking vistas, combine to give varied dimensions to this course that promises to be a rewarding experience each time you play it.
