The Golfer’s Journal is pleased to invite you to
Chechessee Creek Club
October 28, 2024 | Okatie, SC
ENTER THE LOTTERY 7/24
Lowkey Special
Back in 2000, when seemingly every designer in the country was pushing courses as far past 7,000 yards as possible, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw had a different idea for Chechessee. Instead, they built a cozy shotmakers paradise in South Carolina’s lowcountry, where players have to shape shots around live oaks to a devilish set of greens shaped by Mother Nature. Regarded as one of the finest routings in the region, Chechessee is also built to be a world-class hang, from the easy 6,700-yard walk to the clubhouse known for its legendary gatherings. Broken Tee Society members will loop it twice, then kick back on the patio with an infamous Chechessee Creek Tea.

The field will be decided via random drawing and those selected will be notified via email or text.
Selected members will have 24 hours from being notified to complete their registration by paying. Failing to pay or notify us will result in loss of spot.
