Elevate Your Game Indoors
Awendaw, SC has no shortage of ways to spend a free afternoon or night out. Between the beaches, golf courses, restaurants, breweries, live music, and outdoor recreation, finding something to do is rarely the problem. The harder part can be finding an activity that works for everyone in the group, especially when the weather refuses to cooperate. That's part of what has made indoor entertainment venues an increasingly appealing option around the Lowcountry.
So where do you go when you want a fun night out that offers a little more than dinner and drinks? That's where The Bunker stands out. Located in Mount Pleasant, this indoor entertainment venue gives groups plenty of ways to play, compete, and unwind in one place, without having to break the bank or get dressed up for a fancy dinner.
The Bunker CHS is the kind of place that makes figuring out what to do tonight a whole lot easier. Located in Mount Pleasant, it brings several different ways to play, compete, and hang out together under one roof. You can tee it up on a GOLFZON indoor golf simulator in Awendaw, SC, test your aim with axe throwing or AR darts, grab a drink from the self-serve taps, or bounce between activities depending on what everyone in your group is in the mood for.
It works just as well for a casual night out with friends as it does for date night, a little friendly competition after work, or an afternoon when Awendaw's heat or rain makes being outside less appealing. And because there's more than one thing to do, nobody has to be a serious golfer, dart player, or axe-throwing expert to have a good time. Beginners can jump in right alongside regulars, and experts are welcome, too. We even have tournaments and league play!
The Bunker is also set up for groups and private events, making it an option for birthdays, company get-togethers, celebrations, and other occasions when you want to do something a little more interactive than simply sitting around a table. Best of all, you don't always need to have the whole night planned in advance. Walk-ins are welcome, so sometimes the best plan is simply showing up and seeing where the competition takes you.
If you've never played indoor golf before, there's really not much of a learning curve. The Bunker keeps the experience pretty simple, whether you're stopping in to work on your swing or bringing a group for a few hours of friendly competition.
Start with the people you want to play with. The Bunker's GOLFZON simulators can accommodate groups of up to six players, so they work just as well for a couple of golfers squeezing in a round as they do for a group night out.
Walk-ins are welcome, but remember, our golf simulator gets very popular on weekends. If you have to wait, pass the time by enjoying some brews and bites. More on that soon.
The Bunker recommends arriving about 15 minutes before your reservation so you have time to check in, open a tab, and get comfortable before you start playing.
Bringing your own clubs is always an option, but you don't have to haul your golf bag with you just to give indoor golf a try. Rental clubs are available at The Bunker as well.
This is where The Bunker's indoor golf experience starts to feel a lot different from simply hitting balls into a screen.
Its GOLFZON TwoVision NX simulator technology lets players choose from hundreds of golf courses while recreating much more of the actual golf experience. The system includes automatic teeing, real-time swing analysis, weight-shift sensors, and a five-segment moving floor that can change the lie beneath your feet.
You can play a casual round with friends, practice specific parts of your game, or use the simulator data to take a closer look at your swing. That makes it approachable for someone who rarely picks up a club while still giving serious golfers plenty to dig into.
Once everything is set, it's time to swing.
The simulator tracks your shots and recreates the results on screen, while GOLFZON's technology can measure details such as ball speed, peak height, and other elements of your shot. Even putting and uneven lies become part of the experience rather than something you simply skip over indoors.
And because you're playing inside, Awendaw's heat, afternoon thunderstorms, or colder winter days don't have much say in whether you get to play.
You also don't have to spend the whole visit golfing. When you're ready for a break, The Bunker has interactive darts, axe throwing, and a 21-tap self-pour wall featuring craft beer, cider, wine and other options, making it easy to turn a simulator reservation into a full night out.
There's a reason why The Bunker is one of the most popular choices for indoor entertainment in Awendaw, SC. Our golf simulator is usually considered our main attraction - but you'd be missing out if you didn't try our axe throwing and interactive dart games, too.
The Bunker's GOLFZON TwoVision NX simulators go well beyond simply hitting a ball at a screen. The technology is designed to recreate more of the real golf experience, from changing lies and putting to swing feedback and course conditions.
With five simulators available, golfers can practice, compete, or play a full round indoors no matter what the Awendaw, SC weather is doing.
Looking for something with a little more edge than the usual night out? Axe throwing at The Bunker brings together friendly competition, interactive games, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting.
The Bunker features 10 high-tech axe-throwing lanes powered by Axcitement software, with real-time scoring and interactive targets that turn every round into more than a simple bullseye contest.
Darts at The Bunker are a little more high-tech than the board hanging in your neighborhood bar.
The Bunker's four interactive dart lanes combine real dartboards and steel-tip darts with augmented reality technology, automatic scoring, and different game modes that keep the competition moving. Whether you play darts all the time or haven't thrown one in years, it's easy to jump in and start playing.
You still get the feel of throwing a real dart at a real board. But at the Bunker, our axe-throwing technology takes care of the rest. The system automatically tracks the score as you play, which means there's less time doing math and more time figuring out who gets bragging rights.
Each interactive dart lane can accommodate up to six players, making it an easy choice for date nights, groups of friends, birthday celebrations, corporate outings, or anyone looking for something more interactive to do around Awendaw, SC. And because the games work for a range of skill levels, nobody has to be a darts expert to get competitive.
Walk-ins are welcome at The Bunker, so you can always stop by and see what's available. If playing interactive darts in Awendaw, SC is definitely part of the plan, booking online ahead of time is the best way to make sure a lane is waiting for your group. That way, all that's left to do is take aim and see who comes out on top.

One of the best parts of the self-serve setup is the freedom to try something new without committing to a full glass. Want just a small taste? Pour one. Find something you really like? Fill it up. Drinks are measured by the ounce, so you can sample your way through a few options or stick with a favorite.
Stop by the check-in counter and open a tab.
Grab your RFID wristband.
Head over to the tap wall, choose what sounds good, scan your wristband, and start pouring.
Grab your drink and get back to the games.
You don't have to put the competition on hold when hunger hits, either. The Bunker lets guests order food directly from their phones while they play, making it easy to keep the golf, darts, or axe throwing going without turning the night into a dinner break. Boneless wings and pimento cheese dip, anyone?
The self-pour setup fits right into the rest of The Bunker experience. Play a round of indoor golf, challenge your friends to darts or axe throwing, try a new drink between games, and make the night as laid-back or competitive as you want it to be.
If you visit The Bunker regularly, a membership can make more financial sense than paying the walk-in rate every time. The standard golf simulator rate is $75 per hour, so frequent players can start saving pretty quickly depending on how often they play.
A good fit for casual regulars looking for flexible savings.
Built for golfers who play more often and want complimentary hours.
The ultimate package offering maximum value and free perks.
If you only visit a few times a month, the Player's Card may be enough to lower your costs. Golfers who practice or play every week may get more value from the Caddie or Pro plans, especially once the included simulator hours are factored in.
Whether you're planning a night out with friends, looking for a new way to practice your swing, or just want to see what indoor golf in Awendaw, SC is all about, The Bunker makes it easy to get started.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) — The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission has acquired nearly 94 acres of land south of Awendaw for future development as a public park.
The 93.92-acre property is located off Highway 17 North, just south of the town of Awendaw. Charleston County Parks said the site includes a 4.7-acre freshwater pond, 33.4 acres of wooded highland with hardwood forest, 42 acres of wetlands and a shared boundary with the Francis Marion National Forest.
The property is near the Shea Family Fields, which are currently home to SC Surf soccer club and are also used by the Charleston Battery, College of Charleston, The Citadel and US Club Soccer.
“Charleston County Parks is grateful to acquire this beautiful property, and we are excited for the public park it will one day become,” CCPRC Senior Planner Matthew Moldenhauer said. “Our next step will be a public master planning process, which will include opportunities for the community to tell us what they would like to see on the property. Potential amenities include walking trails, picnic areas, multi-use recreational facilities, pond access, recreational and educational programs, and a swimming pool, which may be considered over multiple phases of construction.”
Officials said public meetings and other opportunities for input will be posted here when they become available.
CCPRC purchased the land from the GBSC Foundation for $7.51 million. The Charleston County Greenbelt Program provided $4 million to help fund the purchase of 79.9 acres.
The GBSC Foundation initially acquired the land to help ensure it would become a place supporting wellness, outdoor recreation and community connection. The foundation was established by a local family focused on creating more wellness, outdoor playing areas and field space in the Charleston community.
One of the foundation’s recent projects was the opening of the adjacent Shea Family Fields, which includes two full-sized turf fields used by local soccer organizations, including SC Surf.
The GBSC Foundation acquired the land from the McCaskill family, who had owned it since the 1970s. Officials said the McCaskill family wanted the land to be used for public good, as well as for conservation of the wetland and forested parcels.
Charleston County Parks said updates on the future East County Recreation Site and future public planning processes will be available here.
The Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission has acquired nearly 94 acres south of Awendaw for future development as a public park, The Post and Courier has learned.The site is located off Highway 17 North and features a nearly 5-acre freshwater pond, 33 acres of wooded highland with a hardwood forest and 42 acres of wetlands.

The Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission has acquired nearly 94 acres south of Awendaw for future development as a public park, The Post and Courier has learned.

“Charleston County Parks is grateful to acquire this beautiful property, and we are excited for the public park it will one day become,” said Matt Moldenhauer, a senior planner with Parks and Recreation.
“The park will fill a major service gap in that part of the county,” he added, saying the area does not have a lot of public recreational services near the small municipality.
The real estate purchase was made possible through Charleston County Greenbelt funds and a partnership with the GBSC Foundation, which initially acquired the land to ensure it would become a place that supports wellness, outdoor recreation and community connection.
“We are delighted that the Parks and Recreation Commission is acquiring this parcel of land,” said Richard Thackray, president of the GBSC Foundation. “We think the vision the commission has for this property is entirely aligned with the objectives of the foundation. It brings a much-needed recreation facility to the eastern part of the county that will benefit local working families, and the involvement of the Charleston County Greenbelt program also aligns to the conservation component of our mission.”
The commission purchased 93.92 acres from the GBSC Foundation for $7.51 million. The Charleston County Greenbelt Program provided $4 million to buy 79.9 of those acres.
Moldenhauer said some amenities of the park during phase one of construction will include an aquatics center that will feature an outdoor 25-meter swimming pool plus walking trails, picnic areas, multi-use recreational facilities, pond access, recreational and educational programs, which may be considered over multiple phases of construction.
“We envision there being a multi-use field, and it may be possible that we have a basketball court or pickleball courts,” Moldenhauer said. “We really want to reduce the number of drownings in the rural communities, and we believe that having a swimming pool that can teach people how to swim will reduce that number.”
The recreation department hopes to open the park in four years.
The GBSC Foundation was established by a local family focused on creating more wellness and outdoor playing and field space in the Charleston community. One of the foundation’s most recent projects was the opening of the adjacent Shea Family Fields, which offers two full-sized turf fields for use by local soccer organizations including SC Surf.
The Charleston Battery, the local professional soccer club, the College of Charleston, The Citadel and US Club Soccer use the fields.
“The acquisition of the property adjacent to Shea Family Fields by Charleston County Parks and Recreation is exciting news for our community,” said Tripp Moye, president of SC Surf Soccer Club. “When we envisioned Shea Family Fields, the goal was to create a first-class soccer facility and a destination for community recreation and outdoor enjoyment. Having Charleston County Parks and Recreation as our neighbor is a tremendous opportunity to preserve open green space and enhance recreational amenities for families throughout the East Cooper community.”
The area north of Mount Pleasant has few public parks or recreation facilities.
Mount Pleasant has grown by more than 30,000 residents since 2010 as the town’s population has exploded to more than 96,000. The town’s recreation department has struggled to keep up with demand for athletic facilities and recreation areas.
The GBSC Foundation acquired the land from the McCaskill family, who owned it since the 1970s. The McCaskills wished for the land to be used for public good, as well as conservation of the wetland and forested parcels, all of which will be part of the park’s future under Charleston County Parks.
Public meetings and other opportunities to provide input on the property will be posted on the Charleston County Parks website when available.
“Our next step will be a public master planning process, which will include opportunities for the community to tell us what they would like to see on the property,” Moldenhauer said.
