\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRisk is centermost on the tee shot and with the approach. Adding to the task is the open land area where the 13th is situated. Much of Charleston Municipal is flanked by trees but a portion of the inward half of holes is exposed to the varying breezes which only add to the challenges encountered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The most crucial improvement for the 13th came during the 2020 renovation in correcting major drainage issues that would take place following any significant storm.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
“Today, the hole has been elevated between 5 and 7 feet from its original elevation, material provided by the newly dug-pond along its left boundary,” said architect Troy Miller.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
“This design provided better playing conditions, increased stormwater capacity and an enhanced environmental state, by keeping the tidal salt water within the marshes and capturing the golf course runoff in a large pond. The transference between these two unique environments is no longer an issue and the health of both ecosystems is better for it.<\/a>“<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Municipal golf need not be pedestrian and the success of Charleston Municipal — over 50,000 rounds played annually — demonstrates how accessible golf can be both affordable and compelling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
