A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE HARTSVILLE COUNTRY CLUB ON THE 
OCCASION OF ITS ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY AND TO HONOR ITS SIGNIFICANT 
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HARTSVILLE COMMUNITY AND DARLINGTON COUNTY.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were delighted to learn that 
Hartsville Country Club is celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2026; and

Whereas, opened on September 
30, 1926, Hartsville Country Club has become a cornerstone of the community 
through the wealth of amenities it offers. These amenities include the club's 
golf course, which hearkens back to the mid-1920s and originated as a nine-hole 
course. Those front nine holes were designed by legendary golf course architect 
Donald Ross; the back nine holes were added in 1949. Since then, the 
eighteen-hole course has undergone numerous remodels, directed over the years by 
Robert Trent Jones, Tom Watson, and, most recently, Hartsville native Al Fink; 
and

Whereas, featuring a 
number of water hazards and sand traps along the way, the course is intended to 
be challenging yet enjoyable. Further, it is home to the golf teams of Coker 
University, McBee High School, and Hartsville High School. Members and guests 
have access to an outdoor driving range and a facility for instruction, the 
David Dorn Golf Academy; and

Whereas, more broadly, 
Hartsville Country Club is a multi-sport facility, fine-dining option, and 
event venue located just outside the heart of downtown Hartsville. In addition 
to the eighteen-hole golf course, members and guests enjoy the club's tennis, 
pickle ball, and pool amenities, as well as the pro shop, which offers one-stop 
shopping for golf and tennis gear and lessons for players of all ages and skill 
levels. On Sundays, the club also offers regular bar and food services and a 
buffet-style lunch. The ballroom and bar areas are available by reservation and 
are often used by civic groups, wedding parties, and community social clubs; 
and

Whereas, the 2026 
Centennial Celebration features an inviting calendar of events, including a 
Steak Night with DJ Michael Melton on July 10, Kids' Outdoor Fun and a 
Celebration with DJ Dan E. Lockemy on July 11, and the Centennial Table Sunday 
Buffet on July 12; and

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

Whereas, through its 
unwavering commitment to the community of Hartsville, as well as to Darlington 
County at large, Hartsville Country Club has created a lasting legacy that will 
continue to enhance quality of life in the lives of those it serves 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, congratulate Hartsville Country Club on the occasion of its 
one hundredth anniversary and honor its significant contributions to the 
Hartsville community and Darlington County.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Hartsville Country Club.
