Charleston History
While American Indians had long inhabited the Charleston area, the first immigrants arrived in 1670. Settlers from England sailed up the Ashley River, stopping at Albemarle Point, but just a few years later moved back down the river to White Point Garden, which was easier to defend against their French, Spanish and Indian enemies. On each tour, you’ll get to explore White Point Garden, which sits along Charleston’s Battery, for yourself and see what enchanted these first settlers.

This beautiful spot was also the place where one of Charleston’s most infamous characters was hanged. While Charleston was a beautiful and popular spot during early 1700s, it was also home to a number of pirates. In 1718, alone, nearly 50 pirates were hanged in Charleston. While Blackbeard, who arrived in Charleston harbor that same year taking ships and hostages for ransom, may be the best known, it was Stede Bonnet, known as the Gentleman Pirate, who met his fate in the gallows at White Point Garden. Bonnet, who came from a good family and who had become a major in the Barbados army, was captured after a fierce battle with Colonel William Rhett.

*Charleston golf at its absolute best.
There is no denying The Links at Stono Ferry's rich and storied past. Nor can one ignore what Stono Ferry has become. Set amidst Lowcountry breezes from the Intracoastal Waterway and centuries-old live oaks, Stono Ferry is a refuge from society's hustle. A sanctuary for those seeking to escape, unwind and relax.
The scenery...breath-taking. The atmosphere...charming. The mood...uplifting.

We invite you to join us on the first tee for one of the most exciting rounds of golf the Charleston area has to offer. Charleston golf has never looked so good. One trip around The Links at Stono Ferry and you will quickly see why we were voted the 2003 Charleston Area Golf Course of the Year.
