Patriots Point Links Sits at Mouth of Charleston Harbor

By John Ingoldsby

The city of Charleston is among the culinary capitols of the world, and for golfers looking to take off some of those extra pounds, the area serves up a stunning setting mere minutes away from downtown.

Located just over the amazing Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge in beautiful Mount Pleasant, S.C., the Patriots Points Links on Charleston Harbor, features not only a five-star track, but also an appetizing appeal for history lovers.
