LinRick Golf Course is a championship, par 73, 18-hole course designed by Russell Breeden. Golf writers Scott Martin and Mitch Willard of Insider’s Guide to Golf in the Carolinas describe LinRick as “. . . an outstanding municipal course. This Breeden design features lots of water, wooded terrain, doglegs, plenty of challenge, picturesque holes and midsize greens. We have a sneaking suspicion that Russell Breeden must be fairly happy with this layout, particularly the final five holes, which are among the most challenging and picturesque in the Columbia area. The double-dogleg par 5 16th won’t yield a lot of birdies; even a low-handicapper should be happy with par.”
