Rees Jones designed this private club on Johns Island, completing it in 2001 as part of a broader residential community development on South Carolina's Sea Islands. Jones, known for his work restoring and renovating major championship venues — earning him the nickname "The Open Doctor" — brought that same precision to Briars Creek, routing the course through the Lowcountry landscape of marshland, tidal creeks, and mature live oaks draped in Spanish moss. The result is a layout that rewards strategic positioning over raw power, where errant shots find water or thick coastal rough rather than forgiving runoff areas.
Johns Island sits just southwest of Charleston, one of the Sea Islands that define this stretch of South Carolina coast. The area carries a distinctly unhurried character — the landscape is flat but never featureless, shaped by tidal rhythms and the kind of dense subtropical vegetation that makes every fairway feel like its own corridor through the marsh.
As a private members' club, Briars Creek is not a course you simply show up to play. Access comes through membership or a hosted invitation, which only adds to its quiet exclusivity among Charleston's well-regarded collection of private golf.
