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.
