Most GPS services will correctly navigate you all the way to Woodland Drive but we have found that many will place the driveway entrance approximately a 1/4 mile off. Look for the SCA signs as you draw near.

Go through the two lights on the east side of Beech island and under the overpass staying on Hwy 278.
