Just a couple short years after opening, Old Barnwell has immediately made waves with its bold design courtesy of Brian Schneider and Blake Conant.
In 2024, the club opened its Kids Course, also designed by Schneider and Conant. The Kids Course features a tunnel hole, a ramp hole, and the smallest punchbowl you've ever seen. Our event will give you access to both courses, allowing for a full day of exciting golf, food, and the opportunity to meet fellow golf nuts from across the country.

Course Information
Old Barnwell
"The brand-new design by Brian Schneider and Blake Conant brings to life a new style and ideology for modern golf architecture. For the past 30 years, the theme of naturalism has dominated the best-regarded new golf courses. Whether or not they moved a lot of earth, the top design teams have taken pains to tie in their hazards and greens to the surrounding landscape. Schneider and Conant are doing something different. While their work at Old Barnwell is sympathetic to preexisting landforms, they also go for provocative, in-your-face contouring, some of which resembles the shaping done by Walter Travis early in the American Golden Age of golf architecture. Mounds and green contours rise up from the grade, and bunkers and other hazards come in all different shapes and sizes. Many of these make no attempt to look natural, but they all work together on the broad canvas of Old Barnwell’s property." - Andy Johnson
