A South Carolina Sleepover
Few courses in America have captured the imagination of golfers like the Tree Farm. Set on a vast stretch of sandy soil in Aiken County, the golf-purist brainchild of architect Kye Goalby, PGA Tour pro Zac Blair and an all-star staff has quickly become one of the game’s most sought-after experiences. From the moment you arrive, every detail is considered and every touchpoint is elevated, creating a 24-hour immersion into the Tree Farm way of life.
This February, multiple groups of 52 Premium members will feel this first-hand across two different overnight sessions. Each session begins with lunch on-site, followed by 18 holes. After play, members will gather for a feast before retreating to the club’s elite cabins for the night. The next morning brings another 18-hole walk, guided by Tree Farm’s seasoned caddies, before closing with lunch. With all food, drink, and on-course snacks included, you can focus on golf and good times.
For those unwilling to leave after just one day, an upgrade option unlocks both sessions: 48 hours of golf, dining, and fellowship. Whether you join for a single day or stretch it into 72 holes, the Tree Farm promises an experience that blends raw golf with refined hospitality—something you’ll carry with you long after the last walk down the signature 18th.

Tree Farm itineraries
Session #1
The first group arrives Sunday afternoon for lunch before heading out for 18 holes on Tree Farm’s celebrated layout. After the round, we’ll gather for dinner and drinks in the clubhouse before settling into the on-site cabins for the night (but only after rolling some night putts). Monday brings breakfast, another 18-hole loop, and a closing lunch before departures—24 hours of pure golf, good food, and better company.
Session #2
A new crew rolls in Monday for the second session, following the same lunch-to-lunch rhythm. After lunch, we’ll take to the course for 18 holes, regroup for dinner, and dream of some birdies in the cabins. Tuesday’s finale includes breakfast, one last round, and a closing lunch before heading out—same playbook, same experience, new faces.
Upgrade to both sessions
Premium members who select the upgrade option will stay on-site for both sessions, enjoying 48 hours of golf, dining, and accommodations. This includes: four rounds of golf (walking with caddies included), two dinners, two nights in the cabins, daily breakfast and lunch, and all beverages and on-course snacks. Upgraded members will not need to check out between sessions—their stay will be continuous from February 22 through February 24.
