Our History

During and before “The War Between the States” the property now occupied by Brickyard Plantation Golf Club was owned by James M. (Jim) Johnson, the great grandfather to the late owner Mary Lillian Johnson Clark. Today her husband, W. N. Clark can trace back seven generations of ownership.

The present acreage is 500 acres of the original 7000 acres. In 1977 plans were made for a 7-acre pond to be built for fishing. A friend suggested a couple of golf holes be built around the lake. This catapulted into 18 holes and then came the question of a name for the course.

When construction of the pond began the kiln and other artefacts of brick making were discovered. This is where the brick came from for the buildings and corn mash clay pots on the plantation. Many years before removal of dirt from that wet weather hole had created a swimming hole which the local kids referred to as the “Brickyard Hole”. For want of a name, the second golf course ever built in Sumter County in 1979 was called Brickyard Plantation Golf Club. Today it is a semi-private course and welcomes all to come play this challenging 18-hole facility.
