How Old Barnwell Got Built

Designed by Brian Schneider and Blake Conant, Old Barnwell near Aiken, South Carolina, is one of the best-reviewed and most buzzed-about new golf courses of the past several years. In this episode, Garrett sits down with Old Barnwell’s founder Nick Schreiber to delve into the nuts and bolts of how the course came to be. They talk about Nick’s early years as a caddie, his vision for a “mission-focused” private club, how he found the property, why he hired Schneider and Conant, and his plans for Old Barnwell’s second and third courses. They also discuss the broader state of the golf course industry—specifically, whether the current surge in construction might prove to be a bubble.
