Chapin, SC to Welcome New Ownership at Lake Murray Golf Center
The Lake Murray Golf Center in Chapin is set to undergo a phased reopening following its recent acquisition by CB Bros Holdings LLC, led by local entrepreneur Benjamin Hooker. Hooker, a native of Chapin, also owns BOHO Pizza and Brew in nearby Lexington.
The sale, finalized with the Guerry Family Trust, involves a 33-acre property whose sale price remains undisclosed. Located at 2032 Old Hilton Road, the popular golf center is a long-standing fixture for local residents and visitors alike.
Phased Reopening Plans
The reopening of the Lake Murray Golf Center will take place in phases, according to a release from DeWess Real Estate Group. The plan consists of three clear phases:
- Phase 1: This phase will see the reopening of the driving range and a food and beverage “shack” that will offer a limited menu. This initial step is aimed at restoring some of the center’s preferred amenities quickly.
- Phase 2: Planned to follow, this phase will reopen a 9-hole par 3 golf course and an 18-hole putt-putt course, catering to both seasoned golfers and families looking for recreational activities.
- Phase 3: The final phase of the reopening will focus on the development of a full-service restaurant. This facility will aim to provide a diverse menu, live music, and other community-focused events, further enhancing the center’s appeal.
Initially, the center will retain its existing name, “Lake Murray Golf Center,” but a thorough rebranding is anticipated later this year. The rebranding will introduce a new name and logo that aims to reflect a more golf-focused atmosphere while maintaining a family-friendly appeal.
Community Excitement and Future Plans

According to statements from representatives associated with the release, local residents are looking forward to the reopening and the opportunities it will create for both recreation and social gatherings in the area.
