Buffalo Creek

SC PICTURE PROJECT 1 Comment

SC Picture Project / McCormick County / Buffalo Creek

This quiet, early morning scene is of Buffalo Creek on Lake Thurmond in McCormick. This is the fifth and signature hole of the golf courses at Savannah Lakes Village, and is purportedly one of the top ten prettiest holes in South Carolina. The Hooters tournament on the PGA circuit is played here every year.

Reflections on Buffalo Creek


Dick Hurlbut who took this picture during the fall says that this picture “was taken from our back deck early in the morning during early fall when the trees were starting to turn. The air was beginning to be cool, but the water was still warm which created the misty conditions.”
