favorite golf course for local golfers and resort guests. It’s located in Mount Pleasant at the foot of the new Arthur Ravenel Bridge and just five minutes from downtown. We’ll have a shotgun start for a scramble tournament with 19th hole refreshments at the conclusion of play.
Middleton Place is a National Historic Landmark and a carefully preserved 18th-century plantation. Tours of the House Museum highlight the family and their collections. Located on 65 acres, it encompasses America’s oldest landscaped gardens. 
Experience the sights and sounds of this charming port city on a delightful hour-long exploration of Charleston’s historic district. You will see many of the city’s most famous landmarks, including, perhaps, Hibernian Hall… the City Market… the Four Corners of Law… the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon… the Dock Street Theatre… and many of the pre- and post-Revolutionary churches that earned Charleston its moniker of “The Holy City.” 
Walk with a licensed guide to tour two of Charleston’s finest homes. Since the early 1800s, visitors have admired the Nathaniel Russell House, completed in 1808. Set amid spacious gardens, the mansion is recognized as one of America’s most important neoclassical dwellings and evokes the gracious lifestyle of the city’s merchant elite. Tucked away in the Historic French Quarter, is a hidden secret: the charming Thomas Elfe House and Garden. This pre-Revolutionary War Georgian-style single house was built and lived in by Thomas Elfe, one of Charleston’s most prolific and acclaimed cabinetmakers. 
Enjoy the breeze as you relax onboard a beautiful sailing yacht. Serena is a 50’ classic sloop designed by Bill Tripp, and one of only ten such yachts in the world. While aboard Serena, Captain John Borden will show you the wonders of the Barrier Islands with opportunities to see dolphin and the historical sites of the Charleston Harbor.
