The McCormick Rotary Club meets at Hickory Knob State Park. I was scheduled for Abbeville the next day, and after checking that Hickory Knob had wireless internet, I stayed overnight at the park.
What an underutilized asset. The room, comparable to any Hampton Inn, overlooked Lake Russell and was $68/night. Eighteen holes of golf after 2 pm on Wednesday was $22. That included the cart. A dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, veggies and a salad bar was $10.16. The lobby had a wonderful rec room with pool tables and a big screen TV. Hickory Knob also had available fishing boats, sail boats, tennis courts, skeet shooting, hiking trails and a 50 meter swiming pool, i.e a full service resort. Rangers were available to help with anything. The internet is free.
The West Coast of SC is not the ocean, but it is an incredible family vacation opportunity at recession prices. It is sad that SC has no money to market such opportunities.
