A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
CELEBRATE THE DARLINGTON COUNTRY CLUB ON THE OCCASION OF ITS CENTENNIAL 
CELEBRATIONS AND TO HONOR ITS SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DARLINGTON 
COUNTY COMMUNITY.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear about the 
100th anniversary of the Darlington County Country Club; and

Whereas, Darlington 
Country Club was founded in 1926 under Club President D.T. McKeithan Jr., and 
has been the foundation of the Pee Dee region's social and recreational life 
for generations. Over the last 100 years, the club has grown from a modest 
nine-hole course into a vibrant club steeped in tradition. Today, they offer golf, 
tennis, pickleball, dining, events, and family-focused amenities that continue 
to evolve with the community it serves. The current owners and operators are 
Tim and Nancy Huntley and Mrs. Huntley is active in the club's day-to-day 
operations and serves in a leadership and management role at the club; and

Whereas, the 2026 
Centennial Celebration features a calendar full of events, including a Centennial 
Gala for members and their guests, a member-member golf tournament, a weekend 
and Legacy Dinner, a community open house and family day, a Memorial Day 
Centennial Celebration, a July 4 Centennial Celebration, a Labor Day weekend centennial 
celebration, as well as various other family and youth events throughout the 
year; and

Whereas, Nucor Steel 
South Carolina-North America's largest steel manufacturer and recycler- will 
play a vital role in supporting the many activities and experiences throughout 
this year-long celebration, sharing Darlington Country Club's commitment to positively 
impacting the daily lives of those in their community. As the presenting sponsor 
of the club's centennial celebrations, Nucor will also support Friends of 
Southern 500 Junior Golf, an organization formed from the Southern 500 Golf 
Invitational, that is dedicated to developing and inspiring young golfers in 
the Darlington community and surrounding areas. Through access to educational 
programs, competitive opportunities, and valuable resources, the organization 
fosters personal growth, sportsmanship, and a lifelong love for the game; and 

Whereas, Darlington 
Country Club has become a cornerstone of the community, offering a wealth of 
amenities. These amenities include a challenging 18-hole course along Black 
Creek, a spacious and recently renovated clubhouse, an Olympic-sized swimming 
pool, tennis and pickleball courts, versatile dining, and meeting facilities; 
and 

Whereas, for a century the 
Darlington Country Club has been a space for community, not only as a gathering 
place for friends and family, but also a place that fosters new relationships. 
Throughout the years, the club has been a spot where people come together for 
recreational fun, to celebrate big life events, and for fellowship with others; 
and

Whereas, through its 
unwavering commitment to the community of Darlington County and the surrounding 
areas, the Darlington Country Club has created a lasting legacy that will 
continue to enhance the quality of life in the community that they serve for 
many years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and celebrate the Darlington Country Club on the occasion 
of its centennial celebrations and honor its significant contributions to the 
Darlington County community.
