The Lake Murray Golf Center has new owners, and plans are in place to reopen the property.

Located in Chapin (2032 Old Hilton Rd.), the 33-acre property was sold to CB Bros Holdings, LLC and Benjamin Hooker. Hooker, a Chapin native, is a local entrepreneur and owner of BOHO Pizza and Brew in Lexington, across from Lexington High School.

While the Lake Murray Golf Center has been closed since November 2021, Hooker has a refreshed vision for the property, according to a press release. He plans to reopen the golf center in three different phases. Phase one will include reopening the driving range and “shack” with a limited food and beverage menu. Phase two will include reopening the nine-hole par-three course and 18-hole putt-putt course. Phase three will include the development of a full-service restaurant that will offer food, live music and community-style events.

While the golf center will open under its original name of the Lake Murray Golf Center, a full rebranding of the company and its name is expected to launch later this year. Featuring a new name and logo, the rebranding will echo the golf-focused atmosphere and family-friendly appeal the revitalized property will offer, according to the release.

“We are so thrilled about the re-opening of the Lake Murray Golf Center and know that this is something the community is really going to get excited about,” DeWees said in a statement.
