The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Dan Maples design routed through 600 acres of former rice-plantation land, framed by 300-year-old live oaks, marsh, and lakes, treated as a Pawleys Island must-play for its scenery and a fair but long test.
Consistently praised
- The setting is the headline: the moss-draped oak entrance, marsh, and plantation atmosphere rank among the most beautiful in the area.
- Golfers call the design challenging but fair, with length from the tips and variety that rewards good ball-striking.
Worth knowing
- It plays long from the back tees, so too much tee can turn a scenic round into a grind for mid-to-high handicaps.
Golfers recommend
- Move up a tee unless you carry it a long way; the right tees maximize enjoyment.
- Pair it with the other oak-lined Pawleys plantation courses for a scenic south-end day.
