The Strantz Legacy
Caledonia Golf & Fish Club is the crown jewel — a Mike Strantz design set on a former rice plantation with moss-draped oaks and tidal marsh views. True Blue Golf Club is Strantz's counterpart layout, more dramatic and exposed. Playing both in one trip is one of the best two-round public golf experiences on the East Coast.
