Charleston golf question

Going there soon and grandson who plays High School golf is going too. I want to get him to a nice coastal course that wont break the bank. We are staying at Wild Dunes so I may find a deal there. I was hoping we could find one he would enjoy elsewhere too but I dont know the courses in the area that well. If you picture a kid hitting it lefthanded with a swing similar to Sergio you have and idea of his swing. He is in the 80's right now and could go lower if he can avoid a big number on a hole or two during his round. Thanks for any insights or deals you know of. BTW 74 is usually my back nine score.

Years ago I played in a tournament at Dunes West on Mount Pleasant. I haven’t been back since, but it was a very nice and challenging course, designed by Arthur Hills. It's not an Oceanside course, but it has lots of water and marsh.

Dunes West is a nice course!
Incidentally, Arthur Hills was a good friend of mine and a great architect. He died about a month or so ago. I think he was about 92. Lots of great stories about him.

Patriots point is on the harbor. It has a really fun island green on 17 over looking the harbor and fort Sumter. Excellent hole for a “closet to the pin” side game

I was a member at Wescott Plantation before I moved back to God’s Country. I always enjoyed Stono Ferry and Charleston National. Dunes West is fine but plays a little long. Stono is beside the Intercoastal Waterway. National is beside a lot of salt marsh.

Patriots - decent layout but not always maintained. Very close to Charleston and great views of the harbor.
CHS National - best all around (reasonably priced and accessible) course with a good layout. Back nine is a must (bring balls).
Muni - just redone and reportedly excellent. Lowest price
Stono Ferry - fun, but a ways from Wild Dunes
Dunes West - good resi course but nothing special.
Wild Dunes Links - awesome, well worth the fees and right where you are staying
Wild Dunes Harbor - same and good, solid course.
Most Kiawah courses are excellent. Good drive from Charleston though and pricey.
Best: Bulls Bay, Cacique, Ocean Course, Yeamans Hall - find a member.

I live at the National. It’s a great course. But I’ll warn you that we’re very busy these days. So plan accordingly. I played Crowfield (Goose Creek) today just to get through a round in a normal window.
I would avoid Patriot Links. They have pretty much given up on taking care of that course with the pending renovation. The views are the best of the town + water but the course brings it down. Stick with Wild Dunes Harbor for awesome ocean-scape.
I like Dunes West also. But I think Rivertown has better views (Wando River) for that area. Gorgeous final hole coming into the clubhouse. Price is similar to Dunes West.

Well I’m on #1 at Crowfield. If u had a great drive, you would be looking at my patio. About 85 yds to center of green from my backyard.
