Daniel Island Club (Beresford Creek)

Overview: On Daniel Island, Tom Fazio shaped Beresford Creek as a private 18-hole course through salt marsh, tidal creeks, and broad Lowcountry views. The layout measures 7,195 yards at par 72. Its wetlands provide both the visual framework and the strategic pressure, especially where fairways turn toward exposed water edges.

History: The course opened in 2000 as one of the two principal golf courses at the Daniel Island Club. Its architecture belongs to the early development of the island, when the new course was planned to preserve and reveal the surrounding marsh landscape.

Did You Know? Beresford Creek's routing crosses a landscape of marshes, creeks, and waterways rather than treating them as isolated hazards. That continuous relationship with water is the defining difference between this course and a conventional inland parkland design.
