Old Barnwell Golf Club

Old Barnwell Golf Club is an 18-hole course on Andrews Circle in Aiken. The layout follows a minimalist design philosophy, working with the natural sandy Sandhills terrain rather than reshaping it. The course features rolling ground with longleaf pines, native grasses, and firm sandy fairways that produce fast-running conditions. Specific par and yardage data are not currently available, but the design emphasizes ground-game golf and creative shot-making.

Old Barnwell does not have a driving range. Aiken’s sandy soil and mild winters have attracted golfers since the late 1800s, when the town became a fashionable winter retreat. The club adds a modern minimalist option to Aiken’s existing golf offerings, which range from traditional country clubs to state-park courses. The lack of cart paths and manicured rough gives Old Barnwell a character distinct from the more polished courses in the area.
