The Lake Murray Golf Center in Chapin has officially been sold to new owners, CB Bros Holdings LLC and local entrepreneur Benjamin Hooker. The transaction marked a significant change in ownership from the Guerry Family Trust, although the sale price remains undisclosed. The golf center is located at 2032 Old Hilton Road and spans an impressive 33 acres.

Plans are in place for the center’s reopening, which will occur in three distinct phases. Initially, in Phase 1, the driving range and snack shack will be open to the public, which will offer a limited food and beverage menu. The subsequent phases include the reopening of the 9-hole par 3 course and the 18-hole putt-putt course in Phase 2. Finally, Phase 3 will see the development of a full-service restaurant, which aims to provide not only quality food but also live music and events that focus on community engagement.

Upon reopening, the facility will retain its original name, Lake Murray Golf Center, with a complete rebranding, including a new name and logo, scheduled for later in 2025. This rebrand is intended to create a more golf-focused atmosphere while promoting a family-friendly appeal in the community.

Real estate broker Sam DeWess, who represented the sale, expressed optimism about the new ownership and believes the community will respond positively to the upcoming changes. The phased reopening is seen as an opportunity to reinvigorate the local golf scene and bring more family-oriented activities to the area.

Phase 1: Reopening of the driving range and snack shack.
Phase 2: Reopening of the 9-hole par 3 and 18-hole putt-putt courses.
