Local Environmental Conditions
Yeamans Hall Club's South Carolina Lowcountry Charleston setting features live oak, loblolly pine, and Spanish moss-draped oak as the main pollen sources across the course, with exposure varying between the heavily canopied wooded sections and the more open fairways. Surrounding South Carolina Lowcountry woodland and wetlands contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the warm subtropical climate supports an extended season and mugwort extends exposure into September.
Yeamans Hall Club – Championship Course sees the same pollen timeline as the rest of Charleston, beginning with cedar and elm in February with oak taking the lead through March and April. A grass pollen peak follows through April and May; ragweed extends the weed season into September. Mild winters across the Southeast push the pollen calendar earlier than in most of the country, consistent with the wider Charleston area.

Does pollen in Charleston come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Charleston based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Charleston, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
