Briar’s Creek

There’s a club near Charleston, SC…more accurately driver-driver-driver from Kiawah….called Briar’s Creek. Rees Jones took a green bean farm and made it into a really fine golf course.
.
The last five holes are stunners… two really good Par 4′s (14 and 16), two impossibly difficult Par 3′s (15 and 17…went XX there today…nice!), and a muti-option Par 5 in #18. The experience is pretty pure…good staff, mostly walking although you can ride if you like, and a small clubhouse about to open… small at least by today’s standards.
.
In other words, they “get it”
.
I’ve wanted to post something about BC on Best In Golf for some time, but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. They have a terrific group of people working there who remember you even though your visits are infrequent, the food is way above average with a lunch menu that goes miles beyond the club sandwich with chips, and the course itself is really fun to play.
.
But Best In Golf? That takes some doing…until now.
.
Behold the snack line-up at The Creek.
.
Popcorn, peanuts, and pretzels?
.
Not quite….how about Wasabi Peanuts, Marcona Almonds, Spanish Cocktail Mix, Deluxe Mixed Nuts with Giant Macadamias, Pickled Okra, Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans, Country Marinated Olives, Sourdough Cheese Crisps, Blue-Cheese Stuffed Olives, and Survival Trail Mix.
.
And if that doesn’t get-er-dun for you try a little Rum Raisin Nut Coffee Cake or a freshly baked cookie…all they have in the cupboard here is Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Oatmeal Raisin or my personal fav…the Heath Bar Crunch.
.
That’a Baby.
