Yeamans Hall Club

Before 1704, the plantation passed to the second Landgrave Thomas Smith who, in 1738, devised this "brick house or family mansion at Goose Creek" and five hundred acres to his son.

[5]The club was designed to attract wealthy Northern financial men to Charleston in the fall and winter with 200 to 300 house sites; the club was not intended to attract regular tourists and privacy and exclusivity were always hallmarks.

[9] Construction began on the temporary clubhouse in 1925 (planned to later serve as a wing of a larger clubhouse), but the plans would have originally called for the removal of the remnants of the historic house.

[15] The golf course was about 6400 yards when it was completed, roughly evenly split before the front and back nine holes.

[3] After time for plantings to take hold, the first golf was played by former New Jersey senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen Jr., an early member of the club, who played a few holes with his guest Henry R. Sutphan, the president of the Electric Boat Company, on November 7, 1925.

Although in ruins years earlier, an 1864 image of the intact house was published in 1875 in Harper's Magazine.
The plantation at Yeamans Hall was in ruins by 1812 but remains were still present into the 20th century.
The clubhouse was built in the 1920s in the Colonial style that was used throughout the community.
A sample of the houses planned for Yeamans Hall was included in the club prospectus in the 1920s.
